What a wonderful essay
suyidavies.com Suyi @suyidavies.com · Jun 25
On the back of a recent wave of AI shilling for use in "education", here's my second, tangential essay in the "I call bullshit" series: On not screwing over learners in my writing classroom by pretending generative AI will do them more good than harm.

This was a wild read…

“It was as visceral and overwhelming and biologically real” as falling in love with a person.

@sam-apple.bsky.social found people in serious relationships with AI partners and planned a weekend getaway for them at a remote Airbnb. We barely survived.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

Just finished “The Deep Dark” by Molly Knox Ostertag which ironically provided a bright spot in the otherwise deep dark of the last week (how has it only been a week?!?!?). #booksky #graphicnovel

Trying to find a delicate balance between staying informed of the current insanity and not falling hopelessly into a pit of despair…
