So glad Ai is so awesome. I really love spending twice as long grading because I have to describe twice as many things that ChatGPT got wrong. Well, it’s all factually correct, but wrong for the assignment. I can already tell you what is in the Ai Declaration statement before I even read it.

It’s always interesting how when the pileup against online education happens, people suddenly act like in person courses are the perfect utopia. No issues of access, no issues of technology breaking or getting hacked, no issues of bullying, no issues of how far one has to travel to get to school…

The Canvapocalypse is upon us. Where is the Prophet of Innovation Doom when we need him?

After having worked with someone in the past that loved Pinker… this all tracks.

Ai: The Last Stand of the Ed-Tech™ Grifters www.edugeekjournal.com/2026/04/17/a...

Human beings are notorious national security threats the first few years after birth. Why do you think they call it the “terrible twos”?

Many of us get accused of intentionally looking for this stuff, with the implication being that we find it because we want to. It is worth noting that people who don’t go specifically looking for the eugenics baked into Ai also find it quickly as well.

Most People Don’t Need a “GenAi for Dummies” Book Anymore www.edugeekjournal.com/2026/03/17/m...

Don’t worry now that rivers are running dry - all of those “Ai queries use less water than…” bros know where we can find all kinds of water… Right guys? Hello?

Another day, another “big” step. GenAI could have walked to the moon and back with all of these big steps toward autonomous agents. But still not there, huh? It’s almost as if… nah, couldn’t be.

Important point to keep in mind. Those that are on here putting Ai critics / haters / etc on block lists saying we want to "deny assistive tech like GPTs" need to learn what real accessibility requires.

Voter suppression happening live in Dallas, TX. Too many Democrats shrugging because it helps their person win. Then they will wonder why turn out is so low in November. Acceptance of voter suppression spreads voter apathy faster than Colbert appearances spread enthusiasm.

Oh man - if “you just need to learn how to be more mindful with Ai to like it” becomes the new “you just need to prompt better to like it,” then I am going to, well… need a lot of mindfulness to not do anything rash…

People in Texas actually say we have never seen anyone like James Talarico. When you point out Beto, they just say “he never got money from other states, never went on talk shows, never got GOP endorsements, etc.” But he actually did… all of that. Sheesh.

Texas politics is always a depressing game of Groundhog Day. Despite a long history of never winning with white dudes (O'Rourke twice, Sadler, Nelson, etc, etc), people still say Democrats have to pick the white dude again in order to win.

Yeah, I talk to people who are forced to use current Ai tools all the time. Currently writing up some of these conversations. It’s only gotten worse since 2022-2023. All of them wish they could go back to 2023 ChatGPT that was only 75% wasting their time, rather than the 100% waste it is now.

Texas being Texas. Yes, this is a violation of student privacy laws, but since when does ICE care about following laws? cc @hypervisible.blacksky.app www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If you hated that Ring ad, have I got a book for you.

But I’m guessing we are going to be digging up layer upon layer of awesome deeper meaning from that Bad Bunny half time show for a long time.

That MAHA commercial was layer upon layer of garbage.

As frustrated as I am with Ed Tech companies for pushing bad research out there, the critics do the same things. You compared classes with technology to those without? So what? What was lesson design? It is pretty rare that you can use the same design for both tech and non-tech classes.

You know what to do. Vote no on Ai in schools.

I'm arguing for all the reasons I think AI should not be embraced in K-12 schooling here (if you agree, plz vote no here): generativerevolution.ai/should-schoo...

Is it Just Red? Human Creativity Versus Ai “Creativity” www.edugeekjournal.com/2025/12/27/i...

Ai-powered battleships? Just what we need: hallucination-fueled Terminator ships prowling the seas thinking they are god.

I noticed that the Matter and Space (Ai company claiming to revolutionize education) website just forwards to SNHU website now. I went looking for what happened. Ai is Everything That is Not Needed in Education www.edugeekjournal.com/2025/12/19/a...

While I know there are good people working to create ways to improve critical thinking in media, there have always been concerns that this is not enough. This tread looks into why it is not enough to just improve how we evaluate information.

Story on the news last night about how North Texas lakes are full, but the water table is “mysteriously”dropping over the last year. Which is when the first Ai data centers went online. Gee… I wonder where all the water is going…

A friend of mine that passed away several years ago was in a few underground club bands in LA in the 80s. He passed away while writing lyrics for his next album. Someone took those lyrics and used Ai to create the lost album. Don’t do this BS to the deceased. It is evil.

Look, I am about as anti-Ai as anyone. If every Ai system got deleted and every Ai company shutdown, I would not shed one tear. I used to research LLMs in education and learning analytics pre-ChatGPT explosion. I decided it was all bad long before most even knew there was an anti-Ai stance…

Saw a bumper sticker that says “I’m not smart enough to be a socialist.” While I get the intent of the joke there, technically it sounds more like they are saying only ignorant people are against socialism. And wouldn’t the opposite be “I’m not dumb enough to support fascism”?

I guess it should be an honor to be on this list, even though they totally get Luddites, GPTs, machine learning, and blockchain wrong. None of these are designed as “assistive” technologies, and none of them give anyone a “voice.”

The marching band kids are rocking out to Creed’s “Higher” as an oldie, so excuse me while I am over here dying of old age.

Just coming back to this - why do Ai Cheerleaders resort to this response when people bring up how real life data centers are currently consuming water and raising electric bills? What does this matter if the people building the data centers keep building them?

So many things coming from this admin have strong “my girlfriend goes to another school, but she’s totally real” vibe to it.

Anthology (Blackboard) filed for bankruptcy? Guess going all-in on Ai won’t save companies…

Sure, Trump is setting troops from one state against another state, but self-described “freethinking centrists” are convinced they have discovered that the real instigators of civil war are random people like my friend John in North Carolina saying “we should do something about this.”

I haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel in a while. He is going hard after Trump and the FCC tonight. Not really a monologue as much a rally cry.

I’m going to laugh if Jimmy Kimmel gets on the air tomorrow, makes fun of how MAGA misunderstood him, and then just quits on air.

Looks like the Matter and Space website has been updated to remove all the problematic videos. I had forgotten that this project was originally launched as a way to convince people that micro-credentials were taking off: guild.com/compass/behi...

Knowing the context of a quote more often makes it worse than better… just FYI.

I just knew before going into this that it would be a student complaining about religious beliefs, and it was. She will be the hero of hundreds of sermons this weekend. This is bad. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

I know a lot of people respect Anil Dash, but I am having a hard time with his very one-dimensional take on Ai critics. Not only is it inaccurate, those of us that actually do what he claims we "refuse" to do will tell you that it doesn't change much, either.

It is wild to see how many people have engaged so little with Ai criticism. So many think all there is out there are condescending rants by people who have no idea how to use Ai.

Just a thought: before someone decides to post the ten millionth “you don’t like Ai because you are doing it wrong” post again, maybe consider most of us frustrated with it have already done all the right things and still get boring results at best, horrible results at worst.

It must be nice to have all this time to “coax useful information” out of Ai when a simple non-Ai fueled web search turns up the answer in 5 seconds. 😂 Maybe some of us wouldn’t be so skeptical of Ai if the hype wasn’t so wildly audacious.

I guess I have to disagree with this post via quote then. The first concern I have is that the example given of finding the truth about the Slade photo takes most people seconds, not minutes to figure out. I have done this many, many times myself. So the question remains...

To be honest, I only made it through about a paragraph or so of Paul LeBlanc before I skipped ahead to @mahabali.bsky.social‘s insightful critique. We are supposed to see the launch of their LE-1 this month, so I guess we will see what they are overhyping right now…

Looking at some recent definitions of intelligence, and how calling Ai "pattern recognition" probably isn't the best metaphor for what Ai does: Pattern Recognition is Something That Intelligent Entities Do, But Ai Doesn't Really Do Pattern Recognition www.edugeekjournal.com/2025/09/02/p...

Just a regular reminder that extremist centrism / moderatism / bothsidesism is a thing and some powerful people want to force it on everyone in order to not deal with hateful ideologies via a guise of civility.
