You will be surprised to learn that I do not believe there is a “moral imperative“ to teach educators about AI.

“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”

This is 💯 not true. It is never a choice between ‘taking big tech’s money and doing nothing’. A stronger moral imperative is NOT to take the money and the strings attached to it - particularly if you do not and cannot yet understand the implications

“I’m staying in the race because, thanks to President Trump paving the groundwork, sexual assault and violence against women is widely and openly accepted now, so there’s really no reason to drop out.”

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

If anyone is wondering, I don't use generative AI. It offers me nothing useful creatively and nothing trustworthy as research. The environmental impact is appalling and the companies who developed it stole copyright intellectual property knowing that is illegal. GenAI is dishonest at every level.

i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten

"A.i." is bullshit. "A.i." detection tools are bullshit. "A.i." in education is bullshit. "A.i." in the arts is bullshit. "A.i." in business and government is bullshit.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

My wife and I cried tears of relief after we got our first COVID shots. It was a scientific miracle and I’ll never forgive the people who’ve done everything they could to undermine it.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

Chuck Schumer is a fucking asshole

Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 3d ago

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

A caucus of violent, drunk ex-husbands controls three branches of government and both chambers of Congress.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

We have diarrhea lettuce, measles, and screwworm because the media told you Biden had Parkinsons and made eggs too expensive. And then we found out it was a whole cartel move by the egg producers. Trump and RFK never pretended to be anything other than exactly what they are. This is your fault Dana

Getting my oil changed. COPS is on the TV. Commercial break showed the same UFC and WWE commercial twice and then the Pluto.tv logo for at least a minute 30. Two commercial breaks in a row. Go Alpha males.

This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

Lmao. The people who tell you AI is inevitable say that because THEY are using it and don't want to look like the lazy assholes they are. It's especially egregious in situations like this. Hank built up his audience without using AI at all, so why use it now?

Jonathan Jarry@jonathanjarry.bsky.social · 5d ago

It’s hard to undersell the importance of Hank Green in our space. Co-creator of Crash Course and SciShow, OG YouTuber, and a really good novelist to boot. Turns out he’s using AI.

JK Rowling funding her trans exterminationist campaigns by selling children's books to liberals 🤝 the NYT funding their trans exterminationist campaigns by selling puzzle games and recipes to liberals (and also for both, cis people will get really upset at trans people asking them not to)

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 6d ago

In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.

Did Fauci throw scalding water on your daughter, though? Did he put a gun to her head? Did he break your granddaughter's collarbone? Has your daughter just put out a restraining order against Dr. Fauci? www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social I bet you know the difference between “Jewish Americans” & “one of the largest electoral spending operations in US politics.” You’ve taken many, many MANY millions from one of them. Don’t use racism to detract from it by trying to make it about the other.

that WNBA woman was not suspended for 'standing up for LGBTQ+ rights' she was suspended specifically for standing up for trans women. language matters

This piece of dogshit doesn't understand how food pricing works I guess. "Cheap cuts of meat" isn't a thing. Ask anyone who used to buy oxtail or goat or marrow on the cheap how much it costs now. If you start speaking out pro liver and then the Goop lady agrees it'll be up 300% in a week
