I was very pleased to review @riislover667.bsky.social's gorgeous volume _Feminism Against Cisness_ for @legacy1984.bsky.social . A great step toward trans studies as method and highly accessible for C19 practitioners!

In a scary, chaotic week, I'm feeling grateful for teaching. It's a rare privilege to walk alongside young folks willing to plant their feet and wrestle with hard ideas. The questions my senior thesis/I.S. students want to ask all have to do with justice, community, and connection.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.
Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.
It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies
But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI
