Best metaphor I've heard is that using AI is like bringing a forklift to lift the weights at the gym. The point is to build YOUR muscles, not to make the weights go up and down.

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

AI has been creeping into the news all of us read, often without any disclosure. We call for clearly defined standards for U.S. newsrooms: 1️⃣ Clearly define what counts as acceptable use of AI and publish these standards openly 2️⃣ Require AI-use attestations for all writers

Appreciating all the yeses here…so I’d better see all of you sending big $$$ to NPR whenever we decide to do this.

Question: Would you view a news organization as more trustworthy, with a more appealing brand, if it declared that AI would not be used in creation of its content? Also, would you be more inclined to pay for reporting and journalism that's specifically offered as human-created and human-curated?

lede = introductory section in journalism bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

Some exciting news: Kodak announced two new types of film today, and, notably, said it would be directly selling the film to shops, sidestepping a complicated licensing agreement where Kodak hasn't had the right to sell its own film to stores www.404media.co/kodak-is-sel...

"The arch of the moral universe may not, after all, bend towards justice, but it bends towards archives. Collect the scraps, I hear in my head like a whisper. Do not let them rewrite the world. Save all the evidence you can."

A third of jobs related to race, diversity, and equality that were created in U.S. newsrooms since 2020 are gone as of this summer.

From reckoning to retreat: Journalism’s DEI efforts are in decline

Diversity-related newsroom jobs haven't totally disappeared — but they also haven't stuck.

This is in line with my observations around the people in podcasting/audio industry who are the most excited about LLM style podcast “innovations” are never the people who already make excellent podcasts.

So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌 This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite! The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi
