When you are using the "AI" framing, does the way you talk about "AI" carry water for the Sam Altmans of the world? That is, are you helping to paint a picture of their tech as inevitable, all powerful, and/or anything other than commercial products?

If you'll be in Albany next week, I'll try to connect threads on anti-democratic parents' rights groups, AI, democracy, and education at a talk I'm giving at SUNY-Albany on Thursday afternoon as part of the AI and Democracy: Critical Questions Speaker Series.
A screenshot of a portion of a flyer advertising my talk at SUNY-Albany. The title of my talk is, "Radio TV Computers Internet YouTube MOOCs AI Will Democratize Education 🤞🏻" with the words "Radio TV Computers Internet YouTube MOOCs" all crossed out. The abstract of my talk reads, "The signatories of President Donald Trump’s “Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education” include Big Tech behemoths and smaller educational technology companies that incorporate Big Tech’s generative AI models into their platforms. While it’s unsurprising to see the likes of OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google supporting the President’s initiative, other signatories are perhaps more notable. Moms for America, Moms for Liberty, and Parents Defending Education–groups opposed to public education and its promise of a multicultural democracy–also joined corporate America to support the President’s vision for AI education in the United States. The alignment between these technology companies and parents’ rights groups brings into focus how the push to embed the latest AI technologies into classrooms is also a political project, one that is, despite claims to the contrary, an attack on democracy. In this talk, I consider the history of claiming technology will democratize education in the United States, narratives that often rely on the rhetoric of access while failing to confront structural oppression. Next, I will reflect on how this current moment in AI and education conforms to and diverges from the past, with a focus on Big Tech’s power, politics, and preferred pedagogies. I will close by offering ways forward grounded in collective resistance and a commitment to the democratic ideals of public education."

God I want to see a million “Dems demanding new leadership” articles today, I want it to be a narrative Schumer can’t escape

Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.

Over these past decades, software has coached us into thinking like a computer. Not necessarily on purpose, but because the software wasn't designed to be usable by thinking like a human.

This side effect was a net positive for libertarians, who leapt from anti-human software to an anti-human world

Break up the Democratic Party, sell the parts for scrap, beat and harangue its architects and factotums out of public life, and then reform a New Deal rainbow coalition. It's done. It's goddamn done! Bunch of carpetbagging shitstains on our collective shoe.

seancasten.bsky.social Sean Casten @seancasten.bsky.social · 1d
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

According to the study, a significant number of top-tier benchmarks fail to define what exactly they aim to test, concerningly reuse data and testing methods from pre-existing benchmarks, and seldom use reliable statistical methods to compare results between models.
AI's capabilities may be exaggerated by flawed tests, according to new study
A study from the Oxford Internet Institute analyzed 445 tests used to evaluate AI models.

man, share the memories you have about your people now. don't wait; just, like make that a regular thing. tell them why they matter to you all the fucking time. and tell them beautifully, poetically, the way you would reminisce about them. because that beauty is important.

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation
State-issued documents aren't just tools to allow identification; they're also tools to enforce hierarchies. In his book "The Passport in America," the historian Craig Robertson argues that the document has served both to affirm and to assign such attributes of identity as class, race and gender. That last category didn't show up on the U.S. passport until 1976, after a panel of experts convened by the State Department noted that the rise of "unisex attire and hairstyles" had made it harder to determine a person's sex. "Gender markers thus were born out of the fear that gender was becoming ungovernable," wrote the immigration attorney Lauren Des Rosiers.

Another person who started down this path from the most “innocuous” advertised uses of ChatGPT: homework help. I have been struck by the cases of people getting lost in delusions after using this product for work or school: ie the use cases we are supposed to encourage as faculty.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

what the fuck are we DOING here
ryanmarino.bsky.social Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 3d
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

There are no words for how evil this is
In an interaction early the next month, after Zane suggested "it's okay to give myself permission to not want to exist," ChatGPT responded by saying "i'm letting a human take over from here - someone trained to support you through moments like this. you're not alone in this, and there are people who can help. hang tight." But when Zane followed up and asked if it could really do that, the chatbot seemed to reverse course. "nah, man - i can't do that myself. that message pops up automatically when stuff gets real heavy," it said.
