Last night I watched about 100 middle school musicians rip an orchestra cover of Thriller, complete with zombie dancers in the aisles.
Whatever eventually remains of this civilization, I hope it’s half as good as that.

The amount of time I've spent trying to at least semi-ethically account for LLMs in my classes with minimal support is soul-crushing.
It seems we are all dealing with the avalanche of labor associated with LLMs and no training, support, or compensation. Administors can't adopt AI tools fast enough. Soon all teaching and learning can be outsourced so college can focus on what REALLY MATTERS to them... the capitalism of it all

I had 9 meetings about students using Chat GPT/LLMs on their papers today.

I try to avoid "real organizers vs. fake/keyboard organizers" framings for the most part but one thing you learn quickly from organizing is how difficult it is to get people to do anything at all, how much you're competing against sociologically. people are overworked and tired

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.
Sorry, but “history” proves mass nonviolent community protests NEVER work. The ONLY thing that can bring people together is reading my miserable posts. Smiling people hugging in the sunshine accomplishes NOTHING. Reading my punishing content, indoors and alone, is the only path forward.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

here is a question I’m reflecting on: what do you WANT your relationship with social media to be? Like, stepping back from it, what platforms would you LIKE to be spending time on (if any), how much time and doing what?

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."

Why Shame No Longer Works in American Politics
While it once played a role in binding society, shame has lost its power—and so have the liberal tools that depend on it.
