I also think GenAI summaries of conversations and personal emails are fucking wack and disrespectful
Either you have time to genuinely engage with what someone said or you don’t

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AI’s massive power demands—and Trump’s done a lot to make it easier for them. Heidy Khlaaf, the head AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, tells us why that’s dangerous.

I've signed up to do a short talk/presentation on demystifying "AI" at the parent volunteer group at my kids school. Really nervous about it, I've never done this kind of public speaking or presenting before.

Just read a talk announcement about "AI" and K-12 education that looked like it maybe, maybe embedded a critical perspective but was still dressed up in the language of AI hype, presupposing both job market & education "reshaped by AI".

In the personal space, I'm always late to the tech/gadget party and I think I like it that way. Slow and steady works well for me. I don't want the latest and greatest. I want what works well and will keep working well for the long haul. Recent consequences? None of my tech is "AI" ready. 🙏😌

"This long-running war on knowledge and expertise has sown the ground for the narratives widely used by AI companies and the CEOs adopting it. Human labor, inquiry, creativity, and expertise is spurned in the name of “efficiency.” With AI, there is no need for human expertise"
AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge
"Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

So is there any reason to not use the official app on here instead of the web interface?
(I'm thinking about how over on Mastodon the official app strips away a lot of the functionality and accessibility functions that are available in the web interface.)
