It will also disconnect students from each other—and in a world fractured by various flavors of technofascism, I cannot think of a more disastrous thing (which is likely partly why AI fetishists are pushing for AI in schools and universities)
“One of the negative consequences AI is having on students is that it is hurting their ability to develop meaningful relationships with teachers, the report finds. Half of the students agree that using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teachers.”
Rising Use of AI in Schools Comes With Big Downsides for Students
A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology looks at teachers' and students' experiences with the technology.

Well I guess I'm going to be kicked off of Bluesky soon... 🫠
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

No, I don't think there is any need for you, me or anyone to have access to ChatGPT or CoPilot just to help you plan your kid's birthday party, or find nearby restaurants, or plan your holiday for you, or do your homework for you, or write your book review for you, all to see the world burn.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

Happy anniversary to my favorite copy editor comment of all time.
"You use 'long eighteenth century' a lot in this book, but each century is exactly as long as another."

In Greensboro, NC for a family wedding and snuck off to go to the International Civil Rights Museum, the site of the famous 1960 Woolworth lunch counter protest—a week before teaching Anne Moody in my World Literature course.

Social media can be a cruel place. Amidst all the muck, there are glimmers of hope. I wrote about disabled outrage and a recent hashtag I created on Twitter #PodSaveJon

Lots of people know that prehistoric sea turtles got big, but it can be easy to underestimate just how huge these things got. The largest verified specimen of a modern Leatherback turtle weighed in at 1,433 lbs, but this Archelon would have been closer to 11,300 lbs. #scicomm #paleosky #paleontology
