Sometimes, you end up losing all of your friends because you can't stop writing pro-genocide propaganda for Bari Weiss's stupid website. defector.com/free-press-r...

This is how The Boston Globe chooses to frame the kidnapping of a local teenager.

My pain point is church. "AI wrote a sermon in no time!" No, AI plagiarized other pastors' sermons. "AI made a song!" No, AI stole from artists. "We can make website videos from our still photos!" No, we are not deepfaking the choir.

AND it's an Earth Care congregation so let's talk resource use...

it's been shoved into so many things that people genuinely see it on the same level as wordart or clip art: what's the big deal? it's making me a little picture that I can put in my newsletter. look, it made my granddaughter a princess! how pretty

having returned to the workplace and being around the general public recently has shown me that there are a vast number of people who are completely unaware of the problems with using generative AI, or even the fact that there are problems with it

One of the places tech went wrong was making product management a profit center

This is actually really important. 25 years ago, very few kids in my area went to college and curriculum & advising reflected/reinforced that. The push for teaching “AI skills” seems purpose built to undermine teaching critical thinking to non-elite students—it’s fundamentally undemocratic.

And of course, administrators will force it on people because they don't actually care about jobs being done well, just faster/cheaper, but I still think it's worth it to stop helping them gaslight you about the utility of this tool in your work.

I was with a panel of people who were all making good arguments about why AI will never replace this or that skill or job, so maybe we'll be okay, and I finally said to one teacher: "you can just say no. you don't have to use it. it steals from people and teaches no skills. it's not a good tool."

Teaching students “AI prompt engineering” is such an offensive perversion of inquiry based education it makes me breathe fire.

I'll never forget that newscycle when the old OpenAI board made it clear Altman was a predatory little opportunistic shit with bottomless financial conflicts of interests, and the tech press rallied around him to frame all of the people with complaints as weird fringe zealots

"it's not my job to have morals and ethics"

"Wow, what do you call that act?"

"The Altruists!"

The thing about Nazis is their speech is all hate speech, all of it, not free speech, because Nazism is predicated on violence and contemporary Nazism is predicated on knowing about genocide and approving of it and wanting to do it again.

I just realized why I never got into Stranger Things. It's literally anime for reaganite boomers.
