I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works.
Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

So a masculinist understanding of notetaking would think a transcription app is the same as taking notes. That’s why they think an AI transcript is a time-saver. They think the notes are the thinking because when a human takes the notes, it is.

i kinda wonder if a tendency to avoid written notetaking has made it more difficult for people to develop good study habits.

I went on a ride along with Will today because I was trying to understand how a mobile patrol works. If you've ever fantasized about being either Spider-Man or Ned Leeds I would recommend going to Defend612 to volunteer. (Spider-Man: patrol. Ned Leeds: dispatch/notetaking/plate checks.)
I don’t want to jinx anything, but ICE presence in South Minneapolis has been MASSIVELY down the last two days, and also far less militarized. Very few masks and uniforms, and efforts to disguise their vehicles. Community watch has been suffocating them, I think.

Stenography is a highly refined skill and one that is almost invaluable in legal proceedings. These fucks are treating it like it's just fancy notetaking that can be better performed by a machine.
Fuck this noise.

The proposal would allow county courts "to permit the use of AI or other machine-assisted translation tools as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, human interpreters in civil or criminal proceedings, certain municipal proceedings, and administrative contested case proceedings."
Bill Would Allow AI-Assisted Translation in Wis. Courtrooms
The proposed legislation would permit county courts to use “AI or other machine-assisted translation tools” with or instead of human interpreters in civil or criminal proceedings.

I gotta stop opening these apps I feel like I’m behind on creating when it’s normal to be occupied with things outside of that (nonstop notetaking)

it's become so hard to do quick web searches about events that aren't in the immediate past. I feel like I need to develop some kind of news article library or notetaking system

I made my students a little “book” (just using Google slides) to show them how you all answered my question about how you take notes for research. Just to show the variety.
How Do Scholars Take Notes?
How do scholars take notes? I like seeing examples of different people’s notetaking, so I asked scholars to show me how they take notes for research.
