Me whenever someone who wants me to use a bunch of AI in my work uses “Luddite” in a derogatory way:
This has largely been my experience in education as well: people who are firmly rooted outside of actual *teaching* think the rest of us can save tons of time by using AI, but I never see anything even approaching that level of enthusiasm among actual teachers.
Executives say AI is a huge time-saver. Their employees disagree. (link is WSJ gift article) www.wsj.com/lifestyle/wo...
CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

My takeaway from some of these Heated Rivalry takes is that people who have never so much as watched a Hallmark Christmas Movie or read even a romance novel think they have points to make because they are unwilling to engage with Romance as a serious genre. And as a result, they sound stupid.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

If these words come out of your mouth, I have GRAVE NEWS. You actually are defending it.

You do not have to be good to be protected by the law, but the reactionary argument is explicitly that the law only protects the good, as defined by them. That argument is worth rejecting over and over again, both domestically and internationally.
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Continues to amaze me that districts produce big flowery statements about how they are going to use AI and then one of the only specific examples provided of teachers using it is a project like this...

So, part of the Mississippi miracle is that other states like FL and AZ trashed their education systems so hard that MS was able to overtake them and move up in rank.

Dems need to fight for meaningful improvement in public schools and in structural socioeconomic change.
But this is key: There is a dangerous naivete in adopting RW talking points on education, given the rapid and destructive progress that has been made on Project 2025.

Our socioeconomic system doesn't offer equal opportunity, so schools can't. Fantastic income inequality and how schools are funded can't be solved by schools -- or by denigrating schools. Have the Dems failed to fix the larger system: yes.

I brought Russell Simmons a plate of appetizers at a reception at the UN. (I was staffing a Model UN conference, he gave the keynote at opening ceremony.) He asked if the food was vegan. I confirmed that it was. He thanked me.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Generative AI is for losers. It’s so embarrassing to watch people debase real artists, the environment, and themselves for a sloppy, rip-off of a party trick.

Wow this makes the toilet frogs I had in Peace Corps seem quaint.
It happened to us in PDX. My wife managed to trap it in our bathroom, and we had a shit covered rat running around our bathroom for an hour until I could get home and murder it.

This is also what my 5th graders do when they come to reading group after recess. (My school building was built in 1924.)
