a lot of my work over the last 6 years has been 'building AI skills' but the more i know the more i distrust & the less i am 'willing to provide date': what have i been doing wrong?
however, sadly, the paper pitches this as a "trust issue" but people are right now to trust this stuff! Also complete failure to recognise that tools need to be worthy of trust, not that people should give their trust more freely

It's my dream for this book to be on a syllabus. Not too subtly, if you'd like to put it on yours I'd be eternally grateful (& also more than happy to student questions...)

Joanna Walsh skriver i essäsamlingen "Amateurs!" om hur amatörer påverkat och skapat internetkulturen och att vi, givet varthän internet barkar, är på väg att förlora allt det som en gång gjorde det bra. Walsh är initierad och ögonöppnande när hon skriver internets historia ur detta perspektiv.

lovely visit, sharing fitabillies bun :)
Woke before dawn, scrabbling and biting, dreaming of my werewolfity; walked it off; spent the day in Cambridge with the always thought-provoking @badaude.bsky.social and finally home to find three salmon in the fridge. Will walk *that* off in due course.

the only academic whose lectures i enjoyed as an undergraduate - critical writing as performance - a lifelong inspiration
RIP John Carey. This book changed my life, and I wouldn’t say that if it wasn’t true. 🙏

-it's almost certainly indie-published
-you're unlikely to see it in a mainstream bookshop
-nevertheless it's suitable for a smart 13/14 y.o.-it can stretch him too
