The chief arguments for open-sourcing dangerous tech are: 1) we can learn how it ticks (not true for "open-source" LLMs, for which we only know the weights not the training) or 2) tech is neutral so moral onus is on the user (sorry but handing out bandaids is different from handing out bayonets)

How can we oppose AI governance when it fails to help those who stand to lose the most from the technology’s deployment? Blair Attard-Frost, Ana Brandusescu, David Gray Widder, and Christelle Tessono point to lessons learned from Canada’s failure to pass national AI legislation.

"The role of academic publishing was once to distribute knowledge from research to the public at large. Now the customer is the academic, paying the publisher direct for required performance measures." #academia #edusky #philsky #mediaecology

I was just thinking. Remember the tingly static fuzz you could feel on an old TV screen? What was that🤔? #tooclosetothetv What’s a childhood sensory memory that’s totally gone now for you? #90sKids #Nostalgia #ChildhoodMemories #OldTech #VintageFeels #RememberWhen #MillennialMemories

Great points. All AI filters our experience. Sometimes that curation is what we need. Sometimes, though, well, our kids grow up swimming in the Gulf of America. #philsky #techethics #aiethics #mediaecology

My son asked me to prompt DeepSeek with some specific prompts. It refused to acknowledge Taiwan as its own country and wouldn't discuss Tiananmen Square. #ai #aiethics #techethics #philsky #mediaecology

Sharing the podcast project that I did with two colleagues and fellow Ong scholars during COVID. I miss our conversations. They were grounding during such a lonely time. #mediaecology #philsky #philtech

I asked ChatGPT to generate an image of me based on what it "knows" about me. Ugh! How close is yours? #bias #ai #techethics #philtech #edusky #mediaecology #philsky

As knowledge expands, specialization must deepen—WalterOng saw this coming. But with the explosion of academic literature, how do we keep up without AI? Ignoring it risks losing ideas, not just missing papers. Maybe this is the natural next stage of noetic evolution. #MediaEcology #AI #philsky

My latest for @techpolicypress.bsky.social, “Anatomy of an AI Coup.” With the takeover of the US government by tech elites underway, we must examine its goals and next steps — and how we will know if it has succeeded. www.techpolicy.press/anatomy-of-a...

I'm teaching and Media and Public Humanities class this semester and everyday I begrudgingly check to see if anything else has been altered that will affect lesson plans. It's just so discouraging! Rescinding this order was absurd. #academicfreedom #edusky #publichumanities

ISO an instructor at a non-US college or university to build a course relationship/project with (COIL project). Hoping this project would be related to technology/culture, including AI.
