So you can’t call out the official White House account for lying on here (bad, to be clear)…but you can at least report every skeet on its page as misleading (because they all factually are).

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

This is fine dog meme

Am orangish brown dog sits on a red chair wearing a hat that matches his fur color. A circular table in front of him has a coffee cup on it. Around him, flames roar and smoke covers the ceiling. His speech bubble says "this is fine"

Really unfortunate to see Grant Morrison fall into the trap of a smart person talking themselves into some stupid shit.

Swara A.S. ☀️🍉🌊🧿 @spiderswarz.bsky.social · 4d

Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

Fun announcement!

I was lucky enough to get to contribute essays to these two gorgeous Hammer releases for THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN and SCARS OF DRACULA for StudioCanal— Hammer has been a love/obsession of mine for quite sometime and this is an absolute dream come true!

I’ve got a disc on my shelf but it’s been over a decade since I watched it. Agree it’s a mixed bag, but I really dug it at the time. This sequence is great though so now I wanna revisit it.

He said this in January lol

A world in which human wages crash from AI -- logically, necessarily -- is a world in which productivity growth goes through the roof, and prices for goods and services crash to near zero. Consumer cornucopia. Everything you need and want for pennies.
