“These businesses aren't just wasting billions – they're replacing skilled workers with defective chatbots. As I've written before, AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society.” — @doctorow.pluralistic.net www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

“All told, across eight separate agency accounts with funding that expired Sept. 30, 2025, the Education Department left more than $75 million unobligated last fiscal year. For the same eight accounts from fiscal years 2015 through 2024, the department left unspent a total of just $9.9 million.”

I can't even. I already have a hard enough time explaining to students how there were no formal parties in the early republic and then later the parties change names, stances on subject matter issues, and voters w/ electoral realignments over time. AI: Artificial, but certainly not intelligent.

OMG Google AI just spit out this crap: "A Federalist Congress refers to the early United States legislative bodies (roughly from 1789 to 2001) dominated by the Federalist Party ..." You all remember the Federalist Party which was really big in the 1990s like Nirvana. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Quoting s'thing @cnygren.bsky.social & I are publishing soon: "the literacy argument is being made in advance of its necessity...it presumes a state in which those who are “AI illiterate” are disempowered, precisely in order to make an argument in favor of compulsory indoctrination in its use."

I gave a talk at Miami U. called "Why Can't Machine Vision See the Past? Analog Art History and the Future of the Humanities," & while I can't speak for faculty there, I can say that the response was overwhelmingly in support of my criticisms of the forced insinuation of AI into humanities research.

White parents telling their children 'race does not matter' imply racism does not exist. Their children may not "understand how their own life chances are shaped by the same racist forces that limit opportunities for others" writes @insurgentprof.bsky.social theconversation.com/white-parent...

White parents who tell their kids that race doesn’t matter are ignoring the long shadow of racism

18-year old Nolan Wells’ death in Mississippi has raised again the importance of ‘the talk’ that Black parents have with their children. But what do white parents tell their kids about race?

Anti-abortion groups' latest strategy in their push to ban mifepristone is disguised as "advocacy": They claim that telehealth access to the pill enables abusers to force their partners to have an abortion.

Across Europe, gendered narratives, anti-gender mobilisation and misogyny are reshaping how extremist movements recruit, radicalise and organise online. Yet these dynamics are still too often treated as separate from broader efforts to prevent violent extremism. www.emmelo.eu/posts/the-ro...
