👋ADEUS, BARROSO

Ao anunciar aposentadoria antecipada, Barroso confirma o traço central de sua trajetória: brilho retórico, coragem escassa e apego ao próprio reflexo.

Approximately 8% of US cocaine comes through the eastern Caribbean (and virtually none of it involves fentanyl). Conversely, about 74% of US cocaine comes up the Pacific coast from Ecuador and Colombia. Trump’s objectives in Venezuela aren’t about drugs.

I think it is an incredible privilege to get paid a living wage in order to think. Most jobs in existence today are all but prohibitive of thinking, let alone “thinking jobs.” I am baffled every day by the number of people who openly attest to being incapable of or averse to thinking a thought.

SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

Realizing that part of the reason universities’ uncritical pushing AI into everything bothers me is that it is partly related to how little our institutions care about the humanities. Tech that might work in (some) fields does not need to be force fed to all of us. But who listens to us?

Nobody ever asked me to teach gun safety in history class. The reasons are so obvious they don't need stating and have nothing to do with whether gun safety matters.

Accepting this as an argument means accepting that, as an educator, your primary commitment is not to educating your students, or to propagating knowledge of your subject, but to finding and securing new markets for products in whose success your employers (or their bosses) have some kind of stake.

A estrutura básicas desses comentários, alguns à guisa de estudos acadêmicos, é:
1) os produtos da IA gen são deletérios aos objetivos da educação
2) portanto, os objetivos da educação devem mudar
Sem o axioma tácito da autoridade por trás da IA, nada disso se sustenta.

Ted McCormick @tedmccormick.bsky.social · 2d

The basic structure of so much commentary, some in the guise of academic study, reduces to:

(1) generative AI products are detrimental to the goals of education

(2) therefore, the goals of education must change.

Without the tacit axiom that AI has authority behind it, that just doesn’t follow.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

It is hard not to connect these observable features of “academic” work on AI to the collapse of faculty governance in universities. Even academics in the midst of *doing* academic work *about* their academic work write as if they have no real choices about the material context in which it occurs.

It is also remarkable how far what is essentially advertising copy has penetrated into ostensibly neutral, scholarly contextualizations even of critical studies — rote invocations of AI’s “power,” “potential,” and ubiquity, untethered to any specific sources or data, are just background noise now.

Entre outros, isso é consequência de uma compreensão extremamente limitada do que é "tecnologia", normalmente entendida como "apenas uma ferramanta" – e, pior ainda, "NEUTRA". Nem um martelo é neutro, que dirá algo do nível de complexidade algoritmos, que são RACIOCÍNIOS AUTOMATIZADOS.

Ted McCormick @tedmccormick.bsky.social · 2d

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.
