My message - close the loopholes in the new "A.i." policy!

I feel like you've lost the plot in your "coalition" if the headlining organization is Project Liberty, owned by billionaire Frank McCourt, and Future of Life Institute.

Omg I love this! It's maybe the closest thing I've seen to the kind of 'mycelial university' approach I advocate for — one that creates the conditions for thriving 😍
This is the first time a CFP has made me smile in a long time. Funding for "funding to support Pockets of Joy (PoJs)—micro-communities created by students, for students, and for no other purpose than to be together and find joy in the process of collaborative, creative inquiry." #DHmakes

Every word of this. Telling kids they should learn to write with AI (looking at you, NYC AI pilots!) outsources their learning to these tricksters.
"LLMs are tricksters. Rather than opening knowledge it is forcing us to close it down. By turning prompts, material written in another language and ‘first attempt’ sentences into what reads as slop, we are desk rejecting work at a prodigious rate." A great "angry" editorial about genAI in journals.
🔊We need to talk honestly about the impact of LLMs and academic publishing
At Law, Technology and Humans, the editorial team have been drowning in Slop.

Or the massive opposition to AI in schools.
All of a sudden we're not talking about the widely popular bipartisan opposition to massive data center buildouts. I wonder why 🤔
p.s. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that all of this acceleration in the hype is a reaction to the succesful and broadening opposition to their wasteful, polluting, noisy data centers.

A bot will write the document. A "human" will rewrite it to preserve the "author voice" but there is of course no author, and so here we are again where words just don't mean what they mean anymore. Here an "author voice" is a thing created by a bot and a human who is probably another bot.

Responses from Microsoft, Google and Amazon raise serious questions about their stated commitments both to responsible AI and a livable planet

Grateful to @futurism.com for writing this story about what is happening at Alpha School. Includes quotes from the brilliant @audreywatters.bsky.social, described to me today as the "poet laureate" for advocates of our shared humanity.
