I saw a young artist crying on video because a mob of people online is claiming that she used AI in her large crochet projects. They are kicking her out of FB craft groups and trying to destroy her business. Absolutely no proof has been offered. Of course, she's Black. DISGUSTING.

Um, so the goal of a liberal arts education is now a job in an AI company???!!
![As [SFSU President] Mahoney sees it, one solution for the university - and the city — is to embrace a new vision that moves beyond education for education's sake.
"I don't think a young person today who says, 'I want to go to college because I want to make a good living' is being greedy. I think they're being realistic," Mahoney said.
So this summer, she hired Ines Barbosa from Northeastern University in Oakland to aim the campus in a new, industry-connected direction, with details yet to be determined.
"Her job is, very intentionally, to help us connect with every industry and every organization - government, arts — and possible partner in San Francisco," said Mahoney. "To start to build pipelines from every (academic) major to that employer."
The idea is not to kill the liberal arts, said the president, whose own field is history.
"We need English majors. And we need philosophers. But we probably need them working for Al companies. How do you build a path from your Intro to Philosophy course to a career at Anthropic?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:otpj2dofkavlh7rz6mi2zfxf/bafkreie3e77jfkomij7oenowaypfdtdhf7pvdo37fop75qvpq526hbc7li)
