The embrace of AI by our university leaderships is truly shocking - it seems critical thinking has been parked in favour of tech hype and its already evident harms (environmental and social): www.smh.com.au/national/des...

What if AI neither saves nor destroys humanity but takes the enshittification of the internet so far that I finally log off forever... and thereby AI saves me?

It's difficult to pick apart fears about AI & data centers that are intrinsic to the technologies vs. those that are connected to the fact that giant, fateful decisions about these things are being made by a small handful of insular brain-cooked oligarch narcissists.

But it also has some benefits.

There’s a lot of doom & gloom around how AI is affecting higher education.
To a certain extent, I get it. AI is making some things harder.
But I’ve found that AI has in some ways greatly enhanced my teaching.
For one, it’s opened up applied activities that weren’t possible before.
One example: 🧵

In the very near future, universities will be measured by the degree to which they frankly acknowledge and address the damage to learning that AI inflicts on every student. In the meantime, administrators race to prostrate themselves before SV for crumbs. It's gross.
