@aelkus.bsky.social I think everyone's favorite abusive drunk may have just created room for a rapprochement between liberals and AI.

Hey look, it’s that art stuffs I have.
I’m in extra need of any money folx can throw at me because:
-an asbestos ceiling fell on me
-My landlady used it as an excuse to try to evict us
-She’s holding the rent I paid hostage until I turn over the keys to her

Am I wrong to think that I actually feel my humanity is increased by self reflecting on my own nature as a human being. That understanding the extent to which we are built of systems yet still very much us can actually allow us to recognize something beautiful about ourselves and our autonomy

Is "working memory" the only thing we need to understand here? No. We work beyond the constraints of our working memory constantly with technology, and we need to understand broader things like motivation, goal setting, and large over-time cycles of skill building.

Plus I wish people would stop linking to and crediting pseudoscience, like crappy EEG studies that claim people's brains are melting from copy-pasting, when we have a ton of really good psychology research on all of this.

Students are responding perhaps even more than faculity are to what they percieve the future as likely to be. How we engage with that isnt something this article posits but is something we do need to think about

One thing people dont tell you about spinal injuries is it doesnt just impact your external body, but your internal body too especially early in recovery. This can lead to conflicts of its own especially if you are required to live with someone in some capacity

Talking about the virulent ableism that runs through significant chunks of the anti-ai set is shunned lot like with talking about spanking children being child abuse - on some level they absolutely know the truth of it, but it hits too close to home for them to openly accept it.

Even anti AI folks who aren't ableist feel queasy about calling out the ableism because they know it's an attack on their own people - just like people don't want to accept that spanking is child abuse because then they have to confront the reality that a lot of people they know are child abusers

we have been talking with @43081j.com about IRL events, my preference will be a oss retreat across our alliance of communities in some nice european spot, as a lot of us are closer then. maybe a week of coworking in an old castle with the npmx, atproto, and e18e communities

Rigid bans on AI use are unenforceable and prone to immense collateral damage. We cannot put this genie back in the bottle, and the longer educators try to do so instead of learning how to live *with* it and best equip their students to do the same, the more people like this who get needlessly hurt.
Though it appears the individual likely did not use AI, stories like this are a example of how improper enforcement of policies can end up being used to discriminate aganist disabled people for their tool usage even when they did not truely violate the policy
