Every time I look at the news Trump has done something I was assured he couldn't do when I expressed fears about it in November 2024

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

There's no world where Netanyahu ends the war for Biden before the election because he wanted Biden to lose.

Like, I kind of started it by saying "I want to see Robocop" but I don't know what the Weasley tech dad has to do with it

Partner: Have you seen Inspector Gadget?
Me: The kids' show? Yeah, thirty years ago
Him: Did you like it?
Me: Yes...
Him: You'd probably like Robocop then

I just. What?

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.

In the summer of 2020, TikTok helped amplify and disseminate the murder of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin.

Look at how TikTok has now become a right wing platform that censors anything that offends MAGA snowflakes.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

everybody knows what i mean when i say ai ok. what the market is currently built on is the pipedream that a specific kind of ai thats cool but only useful in a society of lazy uneducated bums will within a few years totally supplant labor, artistry, and automation. that pipedream is not happening!

I know we all think of AI as a technology, but to me as a college instructor, the analogy is probably more to things like term paper mills

None of us are saying, “well, gosh, students can download term papers for a small fee, I guess we have to learn how to integrate this into our classroom”

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Appendix 2: on tools

A tool is *for* something. If the things generative AI tools are *for* are not conducive to learning a given subject, generative AI is not a tool for learning that subject. Establishing that and then talking about how to integrate it into courses on that subject is incoherent.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.
