PLEASE. I am BEGGING YOU.

Dear media, please be even a little bit critical and suspicious of whether the people with literally trillions of dollars & the world economy riding on you believing what they tell you might have reason to lie about what's happening inside their products that they refuse to let anyone else analyze 🫠

AI Now Institute@ainowinstitute.bsky.social · 2w ago

The history of AI development is not rooted in neutral algorithms, but in entrenched systems of power that shape our lives. @ghostdoc2026.bsky.social dives into this history, interrogating who builds this tech, who benefits from it, and who bears the cost.

“'Over the last year, one of the things that has honestly really surprised me is just how quickly this particular movement has taken off,’ DeAngelis [a 3rd grader teacher and member of the AIM Coalition] said. 'It’s reflective of what parents and teachers are seeing in their schools.’”

Funny (in a depressing way) to see the studies that were done at businesses 2 years ago now being done in education and showing the exact same results.

"Although some time was saved with AI, that was more than made up for with demand to complete other tasks, resulting in 55 percent of teachers who say they use AI working the same hours as before, and 4 percent saying they work more." Uh-huh. www.theregister.com/public-secto...

Hello Comics, Kidlit, and Librarian Friends! The folks at Macmillan are putting together a list of people to receive a digital advanced copy of the first book of ISAAC AND PEARL, my early reader graphic novel series. Would you like one?? Reply below. :D

This is a great overview of the available research on handwritten notes in school contexts. I remember the phase maybe a decade or so ago where the message was that handwritten notes were "better." It's knew it was more complicated than this, because it always is. substack.com/inbox/post/2...

Handwritten Notes Aren’t a Magical Solution

The research on handwritten notes and student performance isn’t straightforward. Why are people pretending like it is?

These feel like, not seen the specific case, the opposite logic to those proud of their personal best at the gym. Yes, you lifted 120kg, such good work tbh. Not with a forklift. With your own body. Let's bring this back to thinking, organising, drawing, etc. Enjoy actually being good at something.

Really tried of the genre of bsky discourse that goes: "Here is an incredibly pointless thing I use LLMs for, now please bsky be normal about it." >>

Welcoming GenAI into schools continues to be, IMO, an untenable position, unless I suppose your goal is to drive out educators, in which case, the strategy is working as intended.

They Dedicated Their Lives to Teaching. Then the Deepfakes Started

The deepfake epidemic in schools is affecting more than students. Four teachers tell WIRED about becoming targets of sexualized, AI-generated content—and how difficult it was to find accountability.

Is this correct? “In the EU, one can opt out of their public Instagram posts being used to train ai products, but in the US, that’s not an option.”

This is like the car industry refusing to make anything other than stretch humvees and saying "OH I GUESS WE'LL JUST TAKE AWAY ALL THE TAXIS THEN, SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT"

Do you have resources that help someone make a design accessible? Current workflow that is failing me... Adobe Express as original source, but the exported PDF is not in any kind of logical reading order. Tags are right, reading order panel is wrong, but changing anything breaks it!

This is a case study in pro-AI propaganda, and annoying enough to inspire a Saturday thread: bsky.app/profile/bren... 🧵>>

Interesting @jeremiahdjohns.bsky.social piece on the dogmatism of the "Believe Science" crew who publicly proclaim their fidelity to science while not practicing what they preach, including falling victim to the anti-AI moral panic www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-heresy...

Whac-A-Mole! The Start of a New School Year

Did you ever play the game Whac-A-Mole? Either the big mat that I played on or the arcade game? You took a soft or plastic mallet and tried to hit the Mole that popped out of one of many holes. You…
