PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

The destructive nature of the current feudalized version of capitalism needs to be talked about more on social media.
"The 1% who rule the world may have turned the pursuit of money and power into a kind of pathological game that are ends in themselves, but for the rest of us, having money, having an income, being free from debt, has come to mean having the power to pursue something other than money. We all want to ensure our loved ones are safe, and taken care of. We all want to live in healthy and beautiful communities but beyond that, the things we wish to pursue are likely to be wildly different. What if freedom were the ability to make up our minds about what it was we wished to pursue, with whom we wished to pursue it, and what sort of commitments we wish to make to them in the process?" . - David Graeber

"Career advancement is not based on merit, and not even based necessarily on being someone’s cousin; above all, it’s based on a willingness to play along with the fiction that career advancement is based on merit, even though everyone knows this not to be true." David Graeber, from Utopia of Rules

One reason the fascists are using terror tactics, bellowing draconian threats and demanding compliance so loudly is because they have real weaknesses around numbers and capacity. Their grip is weaker than it looks and the resistance they're already getting scares them.

AI is already the past. The world has ended and we are looking back on it from a different dimension. And it turns out AI was always useless and wasteful. Our wealth of natural resources was wasted on them and we only realized it too late. That’s where we are now.

I am delighted to announce that my new paper with @darrenmacey.bsky.social is now published, entitled 'All sizzle, no steak: AI tools are not able to act as credible knowledge brokers by summarising evidence in mathematics education'

bsrlm.org.uk/wp-content/u...
A picture of the title and abstract of the research paper: All sizzle, no steak: AI tools are not able to act as credible knowledge brokers by summarising evidence in mathematics education Lucy Rycroft-Smith, Darren Macey University of Cambridge Current discourse around AI (artificial intelligence) tools suggest they can offer users quick access to research evidence, with the goal of improving our practice and policies in mathematics education. However, recent evaluations suggest that AI often falls short of human capabilities in accurately summarising complex information, raising questions about trust, credibility, and reliability. In this paper, we investigate whether AI tools are able to successfully perform the educational knowledge brokering function of finding, selecting, and summarising research with implications for practitioners. In particular, we ask if AI tools are able to find research papers that actually exist (accuracy), are relevant to the question (relevancy) and are able to interpret findings into useful, actionable implications for practitioners (applicability). We find that generally they are not, and even when they are, they do so in a way that is so inconsistent as to be a serious threat to credibility. Keywords: artificial intelligence; AI; knowledge brokering; large language models; mathematics education
