The AI Literacy we get: "Here's a piece of software founded on theft, labor exploitation, and environmental devastation. It consistently produces bias and falsehoods, so be sure to use it ethically and responsibly!" The AI Literacy we need:

Ok, back story. The Wild Horse & Burro Act passed in 1971, under Nixon. Horses are FERAL in North America, not wild. They evolved here, migrated to Asia, died out here. The Spanish brought them back & turned them loose.

Under Trump, protected wild horses are going to slaughter. A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.

For those of you following along in Bartz v. Anthropic, I gave some guidance as to when we might see money, and said in that guidance that it all depended on whether there was an appeal. Semi-bad news: there is an appeal. Want to know who is appealing? Do you, do you?

Timing thread. I was going to do this "later tonight" and apparently "later tonight" means "immediately, right now" because my brain also wants to know the answer.

A.I. and corporate lingo are trapping language yn nonsense realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Good language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake, leave honest heartbreake footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Cherish them.

Since AI became a big concern in education, calls for evidence of its effects have been constant. But what evidence exists is mostly awful. So now we're seeing competition over what kinds of "policy-relevant" evidence of AI should count in education codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/2026/08/10/e...

Evidence experimentation in AI evaluation in education

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

all we are teaching students is dependence and superficiality; that deep engagement does not matter; that they can rely on Big Tech to tell them what to think and do; that they cannot trust themselves; that learning anything does not matter or count.

rom comrade@savasavasava.myatproto.social · 3w ago

same for education, which, ironically seems to want us to teach them how to use it and I’m like teach them how harmful it is to knowledge and learning and humanity, and all the ways it will and has caused harm and equip students to be able to support their students despite this awful thing oof.

And that, is our opening salvo Because we know exactly how to fix this The science is in The problem is the politicians taking bribes from the corporations to keep themselves in power and us, out of the loop Its a club And you aint in it And that's what needs to change the most

Today’s Civics Lesson Dr. Fauci honoring a congressional subpoena and then taking the Fifth Amendment: an example of someone respecting both Congress and the Constitution. Jim Jordan ignoring a congressional subpoena: an example of someone showing contempt for Congress. Lesson over.

One of most heartbreaking things about Hank Green turning to LLMs is that he gets to do science communication full-time to a massive audience and is well-resourced. He doesn't need to cut corners or outsource his thinking. Meanwhile, there are so many people doing amazing work with zero resources.

Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.
