SOCK PUPPET is definitely going into my metaphors of AI back pocket (hey @taniaduarte.bsky.social ). It might find its way (with full attribution of course) into a title of a talk, even. Have I said recently how much I love your writing @eryk.bsky.social ?

“If you limit the human aspect of the model in your approach to understanding the model, of course it looks like magic; imagine if you were forced to describe a sock puppet without acknowledging the human arm. You'd be terrified of the existential ramifications of that thing, too.”

One would have thought that the LAST place AI would be able to infiltrate would be education given the obvious implications for cognitive development & the honing of critical thinking. Alas, one would be wrong in such an assumption. Parents, teachers & schools need to rise up in a deafening chorus.

But tell me again how AI makes everything better... cc @olivia.science www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Another day, another violation of academic freedom in Texas. This time a university is firing a philosophy professor owing to complaints about an off-campus talk he gave on the Israeli-Palestine conflict...

Hitlerjugend or Volkssturm type shit

Maceió, the capital of the state of Alagoas, which in the past received many enslaved people from Africa, has several statues of famous figures scattered throughout the city: Graciliano Ramos, Jorge de Lima, Lêdo Ivo, Paulo Gracindo, and Aurélio Buarque de Holanda. Only one woman: Nise da Silveira

No amount of water ICE agents hand out in airports will let people forget the murdering, kidnapping and raping they are doing.

It has been really good to read through some of these as I start to do my own research in the field :)

Every colleague, admin, student (sadly some of them too) who supported AI and mocked us, will look back on this period, like any period that goes down in history, like boomers who think they landed at Dunkirk, and paint themselves in a different light. 🪿🪿🪿 Instead, please do the right thing now! 🙂‍↕️

We should have more statues of enslaved people. www.ascleiden.nl/content/webd...

Why can't so statues be like this, instead of slavers etc?

LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

I don’t trust any teacher who doesn’t hate Ai and its implications.

The complicity of universities cannot be understated... The few of us fighting back aren't enough. openletter.earth/open-letter-...

Especially when a few of the studies are things like this, which is basically 'no media has a significant measurable effect on life satisfaction over a period of weeks' which no shit www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Okay, honest question - how relevant are the dozens of small scale studies linked to (reposted here: paperpile.com/shared/smMqS...) when the companies' own large-scale internal data skewed more negative, which is what has arguably turned the tide in legal cases

Uh this is great, why am I hearing of this only now.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

Daughter’s anti-AI campaign ongoing at art college. Zine made with friends. Management and teachers are unsure how to react.

Ever since certain slimy academics in the 2010s started proposing these companies are good for teens, I've been waiting for this day, for the tide to fully turn. Onwards to more.

this is a huge deal and a sign of the changing legal tides for big tech. the plaintiffs attorneys here were early adopters of a novel legal strategy that uses product liability law to sidestep tech companies' go-to defense (section 230) and hold them accountable for defective or negligent design

ai will be defeated one anti-ai girlfriend at a time

Shouldn't we criminalize the rhizomatic harms caused by tech companies ?

The “unprepared” thing makes me thing about computers in the 1990s I had never used a Mac/GUI before college When I told my friend, he laughed and said, “I think you’ll figure it out” I did indeed learn how to double click

"The AI Grad Student": A Harvard professor describes working with Claude. Early on, he describes misconduct that would cause any student to be terminated: "It faked results, hoping I wouldn't notice." But he ends the essay with "Now I'm doing 100% of my research with LLMs". Am I losing my mind?

Hey, y'all! This is my photo, so let me provide context to this awesome piece: it's a reprinting of the Oberlin letter in a mag called The Luddite Dispatch, a publication of The Luddite Club in Brooklyn. www.theludditeclub.org
