I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Sharing this thread from yesterday as @negativlandland.bsky.social are providing some great details on their planned reissue series that's coming together. Shout out to @sidfudd.bsky.social, as credited in the thread, for the work being done! Can't wait! cc @steadystate.bsky.social

As next school year draws closer (eek), I'm curious to hear an update on your anti-AI defenses, if you're teaching? Policies, sure, but also how you're redesigning assignments and building guardrails. I might write something about all this.

Why are universities pushing AI when it's demonstrably terrible for education? Why is AI being integrated into everything when it's plainly error-riddled? Why are AI's malign social and environmental consequences being papered over even by people who should know better? Oh hey

If you are playing live music, remember to never break the forth wall. If you acknowledge the audience, this will instantly shatter the illusion that the music is real.
