Discourse surrounding “AI” these days often feels like a guy showing you his shovel and you say, “that’s a nice shovel” and he says “I am going to perform surgery on my mother with this shovel” and you say “Oh God please don’t that is not what a shovel is for.”

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"

Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.

When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

Kann ich nur unterschreiben
Heute, am 13.11., ist Tag des Bloggens. Nie war ich froher, ein eigenes digitales Zuhause zu haben. Bloggen auf meinem „Grundstück“ und in meinem Stil ist Ausgleich zur Auftragsarbeit. Aber auch schreibende Selbstvergewisserung im Zeitalter des KI-Slops. #Blog #bloggen

Die Fröhlichkeit beim Leeren voller Dosen

die nachts durch Kopfsteinpflastergassen fliehen
und dort die Nachbarschaft zu Recht erbosen –
Die Fröhlichkeit beim Leeren voller Dosen.

Do philosophers do anything else?
I get that if you like reading then the articles hyping a performative reading trend come over as wildly offensive but they're just journalists trying to make a living and we mustn't let them upset us
