How does this fit into AI ethics again?

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 6h

If you want to see the TikToks of a student documenting the horrifying fact that her professor used AI to "write" the textbook she subsequently published and forces her students to use/buy; but also some truly unprofessional behavior from the prof on being caught:

There's needs to be some vigilante car jacking. Cause these drivers are dangerous. Run a red light? Car jacked! Stop in a crosswalk? Car jacked!

This is primarily happening to a specific demographic of moms, and that should be noted.

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 7h

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

Exactly! Like I don't need to be an expert in this to know it's A BAD IDEA!

Do you know how high the suicide rate is for chronic pain sufferers? Yes, let's add the suicide-inducing chatbots to the equation of pain assessment. Fools!

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 6h

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

You're right I have to fix the ssl. It's silly because the website doesn't take anyone's info so it doesn't technically need to be private.

Tell me again how gen A.I. is needed?

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.
