Hello. Most of what I do on Bluesky is share fundraisers, especially from people struggling to survive in Palestine. I also often share articles and other people's posts about anything I think is interesting, make jokes, and one day I will start posting about music education.

As an experiment, I asked chatGPT to summarise a really great paper I'd just read. It completely missed the main points of the paper. It took some keywords and turned them into reasonable sentences, but they did not relate to the paper, and they didn't really mean anything.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Taqwa. Taqwa has one of the hardest stories of any person I’ve shared. The building where she was staying with her family, including her six kids was bombed and she was the only survivor. She is now pregnant again and needs help.

Imagine if wages / income were decent enough for us to engage human helpers, thus leading to a circular economy.
Imagine if worldwide education was free all the way to higher Ed, and it focused on nurturing existing natural human intelligence.
I want human art and research summary. Not AI.

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately.
We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice.
Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie

How much water does AI consume? The public deserves to know
Air pollution and carbon emissions are well-known environmental costs of AI. But water consumption is also an issue.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Global warming is a technological advancement.
Global warming is happening because technology does not naturally equal progress, ethics, or ecological balance.
Stop saying they ignore the science. They are using the science.
Global warming is part of what you get from science under capitalism.

It's true, as a European when I meet someone who acts American but says they're Canadian I just think "ah that's why they talk funny and don't know anything, but sure aren't they a friend for all that"

Please help - I'm giving all I can but more is needed
And $50 more received, thank you so much! This brings me to $490.
That's $210 away from rent, with a half hour to reach it. Can anyone please help get me any closer? My survival hinges on staying housed.
