I wrote about #LongCOVID stealing my lifelong favorite hobby of cycling, learning that e-bikes aren't "giving up" or "cheating," and how riding with assistance gave me back one of the greatest joys of my life. bit.ly/48ohIH5

Just thinking about stuff
What would it cost to end homelessness in America? Jan 16, 2024 - On the high end, eliminating homelessness in the United States should cost somewhere from $11 billion to $30 billion per year. How much would it cost to solve food insecurity? There are various estimates by researchers and scientists regarding the cost of eliminating world hunger. According to an estimate shared by Oxfam, around $23 billion is needed to fight extreme hunger. To fight chronic hunger, another $14 billion is required. Tuition-Free College Could Cost Less Than You Think Jul 19, 2019 - Eliminating tuition at all public colleges and universities would cost at least $79 billion a year, according to the most recent Department of Education...

Moving tribute to Alice Wong from Rebecca Cokley: “Alice was constantly watching what people were doing, & lifting up people whose work she thought deserved attention & amplification. This was core to the creation of the Disability Visibility Project.”

The betrayal of education exemplified by universities that would subject students to a chatbot and call it a class ☝️ is what's driving the loss of public trust across the political spectrum. Students want the courage of authentic commitment to quality education.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.
A cropped screenshot from a Canadian government website with the prompt "What's your occupation?" The answer "Writer" has been provided, generating the red text error response "Please enter a valid occupation."

“History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost…those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation.

Once again, the "problem" that AI is being used to solve is at root a problem of underfunding and overwork.

Hire actual humans to do things that are worth doing, give them time and resources to do things that need to be done, and the use case for AI dissolves into vapor virtually every time.

"By normalizing the use of AI products in academia, universities contravene codes of conduct and contradict their own missions and betray their core values, harming science and society in the process"

“Think in stitches…think in willows.”

Gertrude Stein, quoted in Susan Howe’s Spontaneous Particulars
Tapestry image with person in a green field surrounded by goats / sheep and the text/ The English word "text" comes from Medieval Latin textus "style or texture of a work," literally "thing woven," from the past participle stem of textere: "to weave, to join, fit together, construct." In several notebooks she labeled "Sentences" (1928-1929), Gertrude Stein writes: "A sentence is partly softly after they write it. What is the difference between a sentence and a sewn. What is the difference between a sentence and a picture. They will sew which will make it tapestry. A sentence is not carrying it away. A sentence furnishes while they will draw. A sentence is drawers and drawers full of drawings. A sentence is an imagined masterpiece. A sentence is an imagined frontispiece. In looking up from her embroidery she looks at me. She lifts up the tapestry. It is partly. ... Think in stitches. Think in settlements. Think in willows."

AI "is a thieving, hallucinating, biased, data-scraping, ecо-destroying, surveillance bot that will never be able to reconcile the receipts of its unethical origins."
—A Psalm for the Analog @melaniedusseau.bsky.social

One, we're never going to shut up about this. Two, this isn't an "I told you so." Here's a simple fact that those making an AI inevitability argument do not want to reckon: it's not too late. Resistance thrives on chaos, and this brand of unmonitored chaos has never met the friction and revolutionary spirit of academic freedom-perhaps the very thing that will cause us to collectively remember that generative AI has no meaningful place in writing pedagogy, no ability to be implemented with integrity, and isn't even passably slay at writing. It is a thieving, hallucinating, biased, data-scraping, ecоdestroying, surveillance bot that will never be able to reconcile the receipts of its unethical origins. Not only are writing faculty allowed to resist, we are now called to do so by our own morals and steadfast, unabashedly idealistic belief in creative craft. Make mine a pour over.
