In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.
Bryn on the Streets; Bryn in the Sheets, too 🏳️⚧️@brynstone.bsky.social · 2w agoTruly, the first time I've read an AI critique that ties into cultural competency, and I'm honestly embarrassed I never considered that angle (mostly because I find using it to be morally radioactive to begin with).
the mechanical bits of my putt putt hole are all working yesssssssssssss
this decline isn't due to ai but whatever, it's brutal. I transitioned away from production work years ago and everyday my heart breaks for my IA kin who can't get work

Been following Temu Mamdani who's running for Mayor of Rancho Cucamonga, CA ever since @samd.bsky.social brought him to my attention. Today he was mad that there's not enough space for cars.
