If teachers are told using AI technologies creates time to spend developing relationships with students, and the report’s findings suggest AI technologies undermine these vital relationships, then it seems to me resistance and refusal of AI technologies is the most caring response.

“One of the negative consequences AI is having on students is that it is hurting their ability to develop meaningful relationships with teachers, the report finds. Half of the students agree that using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teachers.”
Rising Use of AI in Schools Comes With Big Downsides for Students
A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology looks at teachers' and students' experiences with the technology.

Humans evolved a cognitive 'social proof' system for establishing what's true (if enough of the people around me believe something, I'll go along) and media fragmentation + social media has completely and totally hijacked it

Feels like AI will only make this worse

"no in the future people will cryptographically verify what's true and-" no they will not. People are fucking stupid.

Good job Sora 2 has watermarks on its videos (people have already made tools that instantly remove the watermark)

folks, what are we even doing here
In one video, a forklift delivers Hawking’s wheelchair into a WWE-style ring, where he’s immediately knocked to the ground by burly wrestlers. “This shouldn’t even be legal!” exclaims an announcer in the AI-generated clip. In another video, Hawking takes blow after blow to the face from a UFC fighter. “Hawking’s in trouble,” the announcer yells, as the physicist topples out of his wheelchair. In another, Hawking is trampled by a raging bull. In another, he’s attacked by a crocodile that drags him into a muddy river. In yet another, he drops into a skateboarding halfpipe and wipes out badly, smoke pouring from his wheelchair.

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it.
