AI generated and/or faked videos that fool people into believing it's a real situation in which college professors get put in their place by students using AI

gibt gerade eine welle von videos mit millionen von aufrufen, in der gestellte, teilweise sogar ki-generierte videos, von vorlesungssituationen auf tiktok hochgeladen werden und in denen der professor am ende immer der abgehobene trottel ist, der von studenten die ki tools benutzen bloßgestellt wird

As someone whose PhD partly built on STS ideas, there are interesting research avenues thinking about these ‘invisible’ internet infrastructures - their place undergirding so many services; their taken-for-grantedness; the socio-technical networks of how they came to be cc @ctimmermann.bsky.social

Endlich geschafft, den Beitrag in der "Langen Nacht" über die deutsche Kolonialgeschichte in Tansania, deren Erbe und dem Umgehen damit zu hören. Hörempfehlung.
Tansania - Deutsche Kolonialgeschichte und Versuche sie aufzuarbeiten
Die Kolonisierung von Deutsch-Ostafrika bis 1918 war ein kriegerisches Verbrechen. Deutsche und tansanische Aktivisten bemühen sich heute um die Aufarbeitung.

Basically I'm just sick of anti-Zionists who can't be bothered to learn a goddamn thing about antisemitism other than "it's not the same as anti-Zionism, so I'm cool to say whatever"

As unlikely as this scenario sounds, a version of it happened in the not-so-distant past. In his 2021 book, A World Without Email, the computer scientist Cal Newport points out that beginning in the 1980s, tools such as computers, email, and online calendars allowed knowledge workers to handle their own communications and schedule their own meetings. In turn, many companies decided to lay off their secretaries and typists. In a perverse result, higher-skilled employees started spending so much of their time sending emails, writing up meeting notes, and scheduling meetings that they became far less productive at their actual job, forcing the companies to hire more of them to do the same amount of work. A later study of 20 Fortune 500 companies found that those with computer-driven “staffing imbalances” were spending 15 percent more on salary than they needed to. “Email was one of those technologies that made us feel more productive but actually did the opposite,” Newport told me. “I worry we may be headed down the same path with AI.”

„The researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome,” Nate Rush, one of the authors of the study, told me. “We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”“
Like all offense but if your study doesn‘t except one of the 50/50 chance outcomes you may just be bad at your job

The superpower of books like Sapiens is that they require expertise in like 12 academic fields to debunk. So you get these super detailed takedowns of small sections that look to laypeople like nitpicking.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”
