I forgot to post a #Caturday post this week! So Cinderpelt gave me the stink-eye and asked me to remind you all to do your best to pronounce students' names correctly. She says if you can say Tchaikovsky, you can learn to say Leticia & Soogia & Ali!

Best metaphor I've heard is that using AI is like bringing a forklift to lift the weights at the gym. The point is to build YOUR muscles, not to make the weights go up and down.
I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I did not agree with #CharlieKirk, and I believe his death occurred not for his opinions, but because guns are too common in the US.
No human life is so cheap as to deserve this treatment. I hope we learn that while people kill people, a gun grants responsibility most humans do not deserve.
