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

I strongly support #BTS's decision not to submit their music to the #Grammys. To me, and I could be wrong, the category of #Asian pop exists to sideline artists, not to celebrate diverse music. And the category has limits in how much English can be used.

I love how this makes it seem like they stopped monitoring RFK Jr

I started watching "Royal Nemesis" and if you don't know, there's a sort of time slip, and a woman from Joseon is suddenly living in modern Korea. She doesn't know a lot of words, like slang and esp. English loan words, and she speaks like a Joseon person, #Kdrama #RoyalNemesis

You might not be aware, but currently it is *very* hip to do long bike journeys in Korea. In that people come to Korea from other countries just to ride their bikes here (or they rent bikes locally). GCN is one of the biggest cycling YouTube channels,

메타 "변태 안경" 한국에서 어떻게 합법인지 정말 이해가 안 돼요. 한국에서는 상대방 허락 없이 사진이나 영상을 촬영하는 것이 불법이에요. 그리고 그 내용을 나중에 공유하면 책임이 더 커져요. 한국에서는 몰래 촬영을 어렵게 하려고 휴대폰 카메라와 동영상 촬영할 때 셔터 소리나 녹화 시작 소리를 의무적으로 나게 하고 있어요. 원칙적으로는 그 소리를 끄면 안 돼요. 물론 끄는 사람도 있어요. 그런데 이제는 메타 안경의 녹화 표시등을 끄는 방법까지 다들 퍼뜨리고 있어요.

참고문헌, 특히 로마자 표기와 번역을 확인하는 편집위원 일을 하면서 느낀 점이 있어요. 한국 학술지의 공식 영문 제목을 보면, 정말 절반 정도는 문법이 틀린 것 같아요. 어떤 것은 거의 영어 단어를 그냥 이어 붙인 수준도 있어요.

One of the side benefits (??) of having the students work on google docs so that I can go through their version history to check their process seems organic and not AI, is that I can see the struggle of all night writing sessions. (When I was an undergrad this was me, too, no judgment).

Same sentiment for LGBTQIA+ or any other minoritized group. Being an ally is great, but literally calling out bullsh*t especially IN PERSON in your OWN COMMUNITY is where we will see more change. Please never let anyone get away with racism/transphobia/homophobia/misogyny within your hearing

Damn. Knocking it out of the park

People don't support "artists" that make this sort of orientalist ick. Get official merch. Get merch that is made by an artist that is Korean. Don't buy AI designed pan-Asian schlock.

The recent issue with Korea Observer has exposed another issue in academia that definitely needs to be addressed. Publications ABSOLUTELY must include bibliographies that make it possible to find the sources.

Have you heard of the Korean drama called “My ID is Gangnam Beauty”? Well, I watched it a while ago and I’d like to address the cosmetic surgery theme.

So, if the #starbucks #korea disaster was caused by #AI, as Michael Breen and Raphael Rashid have said in the Korea Times and the Guardian, then this is yet again another example of how HUMANS need to get a decent education and DOUBT and DOUBLE CHECK anything from AI.
