@manilazic.bsky.social wrote this 3 years ago about influencers taking over the critic space, and the same thing has happened with interviews www.theguardian.com/film/2023/au...

Who needs film critics when studios can be sure influencers will praise their films?

A shift from knowledgable writers to those simply in search of free tickets devalues cinema – and audience experience

It’s so frustrating. A lot of celebrity “interviews” are just influencers desperate to “hang out” with famous people they idolize. They rarely even ask questions, to say nothing of questions pertinent to anyone but themselves or stans. It’s a real loss for culture.

@kellylink.bsky.social could you point me at books for my soon to be 18-yr-old daughter (her current obsession: The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet; her perennial fave: Cynthia Voigt's A Solitary Blue). She loves good writing and is partial to a graphic novel too. I need some inspiration!

Here's a conversation with a listener in Scotland about why so many of us feel ashamed of our financial lives in todays economy. It is a reaction to recent class episodes from @vermontpublic.org, and I ask dumb questions for the sake of all people like me. www.rumblestripvermont.com/episodes/a-s...

A springtime show about the economy that partly explains why we feel ashamed — Rumble Strip

This is a conversation with a money manager in Scotland who has given a great deal of thought to why many of us feel confused and ashamed about our financial lives.

‘We live in this paradox, and it has a deep contradiction. You’re creating big cities, creating great images for the young Arab people, creating an environment that they’d love to live in – but you don’t want to give them freedom.’

The whole "it's here, accept it, it's already in your life, you can't stop it, it's happening & actually you being unable to remove it (bc we designed it like that) is proof you want ir" techbro chat is pure & utter rape script. Nothing but.

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

Jessica Luther@jessicawluther.com · 5mo ago

In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47 percent drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, and critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage. Eighty-three percent of heavy Al users couldn't recall key points from what they'd "written, compared to only 10 percent of those who composed unaided. Neutral reviewers described the Al-assisted writing as "soulless, empty, lacking individuality." Most alarmingly, after four months of reliance on Chat GPT, participants wrote worse once it was removed than those who had never used it at all. The study warns that when writing is delegated to Al, the way people learn fundamentally changes.”

I finally got around to reading this. You should read it too. "We are exporting the very labor of teaching and learning—the slow work of wrestling with ideas, the enduring of discomfort, doubt and confusion, the struggle of finding one’s own voice." www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
