White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Gritan “¡comunista!” al candidato a alcalde de Nueva York, Zohran Kwame, y él responde: “se pronuncia ciclista”. Este hombre se ha convertido en una fuerza imparable que ha devuelto a muchos las ganas de volver a luchar por su ciudad.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

Sin quererme enrollar más, creo que una de las primeras cosas que tenemos que empezar a hacer pero ya es HABLAR más con los niños.

Hablar no solo de cosas bonitas, hablar del porqué, preguntar sus opiniones, hacerles razonar y darles vueltas a las cosas, enseñarles que todo no es lo que parece.

¿Por qué son así de fachas los adolescentes?

Pues siendo profe de primaria tengo una Opinión™.

En la EP muy pocos acceden a RRSS. Cuando lo hacen, LO NOTAS. Llama la atención.

Ya nos hemos dado cuenta de lo que hay, y no se les deja ver cosas, PERO también son MUY CRÉDULOS.

3. Greenwashing y sesgos cognitivos.

Hi! I don’t usually post in English here, but we recently published a paper I just happen to like a lot for different reasons 🤓
So… sorry guys, it’s thread time! #TuiteoMiPaper

Let’s talk cognitive biases and greenwashing 🌱💚

Eco-friendly labeling biases judgments of environmental impact

Recent research has identified some psychological barriers that contribute to human inaction on climate change. In the current study, we explore how p…

The basic structure of so much commentary, some in the guise of academic study, reduces to:

(1) generative AI products are detrimental to the goals of education

(2) therefore, the goals of education must change.

Without the tacit axiom that AI has authority behind it, that just doesn’t follow.

Imagine studying a technology whose presence in the classroom is so detrimental to the development of writing and research skills (including even the will to know the sources behind claims!) that mitigating its effects becomes a central goal of course design, and concluding with tips on adopting it.

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.

This is the best way to fight fascism. Fascists understand violence, and know how to respond to that… But they don’t understand mockery.

Like, they want to be like “Portland is a war zone,” sooo hard, but it’s just a bunch of people in inflatable frog suits, lol
