This looks fascinating

Today's artists face a Manichean choice—pray the courts ban AI's encroachment on their livelihoods or submit to AI's inevitable dominion over all creativity. But @eryk.bsky.social @carolinesinders.bsky.social @supercomposite.bsky.social argue creative misuse can uncover AI's potential and weaknesses

“… what refugees and migrants really represent for those who scapegoat them is the erosion of borders, realized in geographical lines, but ultimately in borders that are internal and related to our identities as selves, cultures and nations.”

Thought provoking discussion in comments on potential deployment of AI to downgrade composition and writing classes in US, with broad implications for humanities teaching globally. V much agree Critical AI literacy needed for university management and policy makers as much as/more than students

I really shouldn’t read lists. It’s good when they are personal and idiosyncratic, really. But no Mrs Dalloway here, nor N-W. No Heat of the Day nor Girls of Slender Means. No crime classics like Tiger in the Smoke. No women at all?

Horrified by this debate last night. No space given to human rights based understanding of migration. V hypocritical deploring racism in the last few minutes when continuously framing migration as excessive&linking it to housing crisis, rural decline fuels that racism

Very interesting example of the way in which AI 'assistance' swerves towards the most commonly referenced Plath poem about fathers. This is the problem with 'knowledge' based on calculation of probabilities. Potential for narrowing the cultural (data)base to very well known texts is disturbing
