how do people keep sane in a world that has lost its minds over genAI? what is your coping mechanism? how do you maintain professional relationships when your view seems like an outlier?

I’ve seen Haidt’s book “The Anxious Generation” on reading lists so in case you didn’t know, consider returning it unread

Haidt relies on misinfo, conspiracy theories and vibes to fan culture war flames against LGBT+ youth

There are better books on generational struggles and mental health issues
In an interview with PBS, Haidt boosted a false fringe conspiracy about trans youth (basically: IG is turning your kids gay and trans). Two weeks ago, Barack Obama recommended Haidt’s book at the top of his annual reading list.
Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months
Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content"

New: Instagram has begun testing a feature in which Meta’s AI will automatically generate images of users in various situations and put them into that user’s feed. We confirmed with Meta it's real. www.404media.co/instagram-be...

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

When news reports about scientific papers make causal claims that are not justified by the original study, the mistake often traces to a university press release.

Here, observational data reveals an association. The press release asserts causality.

This is nasty and @marcwatkins.bsky.social was so spot on: “When you reduce education to a transactional relationship and start treating learning as a commodity, you risk turning education into a customer-service problem for AI to solve instead of a public good for society.”
