I made a 1.5 hour YouTube video explaining my PhD dissertation while dressed like a pirate. This is what academic accessibility looks like. It's rigorous, and also very silly

It’s always sad when you’re listening to a podcast and one of the hosts talks about looking for a job, because you assume they’re all millionaires but then you’re like “oh yeah they did say if I gave them 25 bucks a month I could basically run the show”

Furthermore, the companies you've partnered with, including OpenAI, are run by Trump supporting billionaires. You're giving them access to children's minds via this technology. These billionaires have the power to use "A.i." to push right wing and even Nazi propaganda, as we've seen with Musk.

Please answer the questions in this thread:
The article you’re sharing touts a teacher making students use “A.i.” to design ugly sweaters. That’s a repugnant use of tech based on theft to rob kids of the chance to use their own minds and hands to actually draw. Do you support that attack on human creativity?

The American Federation of Teachers is teaming up with a company under investigation for promoting murder suicides whose product, which it admits is based on stolen work, has been used to create nudes and harass students. And kids are supposed to take ethics guidance from them. Ok!
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

In our actual cyberpunk dystopia, there will remain in the dark nooks and crannies of the world machines which are cognitohazards people must avoid.
Young people told "if you see one, don't fucking talk to it. Don't ask it any questions. It will drive you mad and get you to kill yourself."

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

We all know Neil’s mom briefly (and badly) ran the EPA under Reagan, but did you know he’s also related to the Colorado skiing clan that sells jackets like this to rich people.
Neat family.

Can bad psychedelic trips be avoided?
The short answer is, sort of! Nothing can guarantee an ideal experience, but there are ways of setting things up that are more likely to result in deep, positive growth.

We already had those conversations and most Americans and Canadians decided that torturing people in domestic prisons is worth it for the feeling (not the reality) of safety. The conversations we need to be having are about how to dismantle all the prisons that currently exist
Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

I think that her incompetence in agitprop is kind of the other side of her sole skill set, which is telling rich people what they want to hear. 1
I mean the more interesting conversation (to me) isn't that Bari Weiss isn't good at journalism, it's that she's not very good at agitprop, the REAL role she was hired for

Never forget that "more conversations need to be had first" is a primary tactic that neoliberals use to kick the can down the road to avoid ever having to do anything
this, from Bari Weiss's 9pm editorial call, is just complete and utter horseshit. she can't even do damage control right

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it
