Hey @artsemergency.bsky.social has their call open for mentors again! You get paired with a young person approx. 16-17 and talk to them once a month, it's great and not very much work at all and the organisation is ALWAYS short of mentors who work in games

I'm writing this having not heard the full speech, but this announcement, for me, just typifies where they're going wrong. The steel industry is TINY now. And this is the thing, there's no sense they understand what the country is actually like now, and what the progressive aspirations of people...

Nationalising the steel industry? Have I woken-up before I was even born?

Good luck with AI without humanities, UK.

Ceri Houlbrook@cerihoulbrook.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Why would we want to learn from our pasts, or ponder the power of the written and spoken word, or explore the deep questions of humanity? According to the University of Hertfordshire, we wouldn't. They've just cut all of our undergrad Humanities programmes

New paper with @casey-lynch.bsky.social on AI refusal, an introduction to our special issue on the topic. We examine cultural practices as potentially privileged, if messy and imperfect, sites of AI refusal. DM me for a PDF journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

🚨What you won't read in the British media: on X, journalist @twelves.bsky.social has looked at Matt Goodwin's new book, Suicide of a Nation, and found that is packed full of fake quotes and material that appears to have been made up by AI.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Really funny to juxtapose all the statements and letters Starmer has to distance himself from with his TikTok profile which portrays him as a sort of paperwork beast.

It’s over for this country

I don’t really pay attention to charges of doomerism. I don’t know what it means offline. I do know that refusing a version of how the future will unfold forecloses on the power that actually shapes that future. That’s not disavowing that tech changes are happening but they are in now a given.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
