I know I say this kind of stuff all the time but listening to music on campus radio is one of the few good things still going these days

Hearing lots of purple city fest bands on CJSR today, a bunch I'm not familiar with, and they sound sick as heck

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

If I get one AI-generated assignment this term, I'm buying/living in the Burner Grille.

"Lean-back listening" is when I'm seated in a Muskoka chair with a cold one listening to Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown (1974)

The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation. shorturl.at/InI5Q

Many of you have shared this but 1 statement just keeps hitting hard: "public universities are being slowly starved of public funding, and their desperation for diversified revenue streams creates opportunities for private capture and Ponzi austerity." theamericanvandal.substack.com/p/how-ventur...

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Alanis Morissette was ruthless for beginning Ironic with the guy who dies on his first ever flight leaving behind a wife and kids

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

One of my favourite lectures in my intro class is on early 70s and Sabbath and metal and the rift in generations and taste in rock and culture. Then, I play all 6+ minutes of "Black Sabbath" and we just sit with it

overheard one of the other customers say they found this shop by using ChatGPT. I know people use it for a lot of mundane shit, but asking an Internet robot to pick out a TATTOO ARTIST for you feels so perverse, I truly can’t wrap my head around it
