Cut the bullshit: why GenAI systems are neither collaborators nor tutors

By Gene Flenady and Robert Sparrow

#HigherEducation #GenAI

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

YALL, THE TITLE!!

A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.

I covet! Alas, in Dublin... Looking forward to getting the book though. Soon!

And in a happy twist of fate it has been published in the "Postcolonialism: forging a knowledge of belonging" issue guest edited by Nuraan Davids: www.tandfonline.com/toc/ceae20/2...

I look at Freire's work to consider how listening can be viewed as the 'silent partner' in theories of dialogue, and how central it is for considering how we learn when we are wrong. I'm arguing through ontology against an exclusively epistemological framing of dialogue (and education).

I recently had a paper published, 'Listening and being-in-error: an ontology of dialogue in Freire', in Ethics and Education. It's open access and available here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Posting your favourite tweets without this in there is a CRIME.

The 'profession as a self-regulating collective without' aspect has to feature as an explanation here. Doctors and lawyers as classical professions know how to self-organise and do things without a lot of state direction, so anarchism would seem a natural fit.

Kinda has the vibe of chiding the unsophisticated ordinary idiom for not appreciating the nuances, but when all is said and done it doesn't actually have anything to do with those nuances. It just wanted you to know that it was aware of them.

Stephen King: why do you hate dune so much?
Tolkien: isn't it obvious?
Dean Koontz: is it because you're a deontologist and dune is consequentialism?

For this episode on Wilhelm Dilthey, Chris Satoor invited Dr. Henriikka Hannula who just defended her dissertation on Dilthey to introduce the viewers to the rich philosophical system of Dilthey's thought. Via @nieaufgehenderrest.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=Zr1Z...
