So far, on this Saturday, I have spent 2 hours out of bed. The need for horizontal is real.

it’s okay to hate everything about GPTs. Ai is mass damage and completely pointless unless the point is to dumb down all of humanity while the planet warms exponentially faster because billionaires have decided everyone should be groomed, stolen from, and lied to.

it is a colossal fucking grift by the absolute worst people in the world and there is no excuse for the university executives who give our students’ money and the legitimacy of our institutional reputation to the pervert billionaire sector.

ai in education causes huge increases in workload for no increase in pay. It dramatically lowers our productivity for our employers and gives it to the pervert billionaire sector. Time for being an academic instead goes to ai guidelines, ai interviews, ai detection and referral, ai this, ai that.
Can I quietly ask we stop talking about what "AI" *could* do in education and identify instead what's actually happening with AI in education? I'll start...

This is spot on. Unless we challenge the architecture of influence breaking our shared facts, we’re all screwed. Climate, work, home, affordability. Everything is on the line.
Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

I’m 51 and I feel as if life is over already…
Too many reasons to list.
Not least the pandemic - risks every day, intolerable denial and obfuscation.
But mostly it’s because of people. There are so many of them and yet so few.

I’m in such a state this morning that I yelled out the window at a tradie who was about to park me in, as well as the car behind (which he hit softly when parking and I let him know I’d seen). So he yelled back “F you” and then moved his car. Nice guy. 🙄

Apparently the US alliance controls even this. The damage cause by a nuclear waste dump can literally be written off if the Environment Minister wants to.
