When I’m accused of “technopessimism“ I counter that I’m not “pessimistic about technology“; I am opposed to the economic, political, and social project of upward wealth transfer that “AI” is being leveraged to bring about. If that phrasing is useful to others, then go ahead and use it.

The battle is not keeping AI out of Canvas— that’s already been lost. The battle is giving individual faculty (not administrators, not campus IT, not ed tech consultants) the power to turn it off at will. That can happen through governance and advocacy.

We write for PEOPLE. These folks think I’m just waiting to automate everything that makes my job worth doing — reading what young writers have to say, and talking to them about it.
“…faculty members will be able to click an icon that connects them with various AI features…, like a grading tool, a discussion-post summarizer… Canvas’s parent company, Instructure, is also in partnership w/ OpenAI… so instructors can use generative-AI technology as part of their assignments.”
Instructors Will Now See AI Throughout a Widely Used Course Software
New features integrated into Canvas include a grading assistant, a discussion-post summarizer, and even a way to pair assignments with generative AI tools.

Laughing so hard at this ChatGPT "Agent" that immediately fails at the first task, second try takes 21 minutes and results in a vague plan for a wedding and what suits to buy. A PRE PLANNED example of an itinerary for visiting every MLB stadium leads to this image

Higher education is being called to provide services that have previously been done by companies: job training, market research, content creation. AI, as a manifestation of big companies, is extractive and that isn't new, just insidious on a new level. (Sano-Franchini #4C25)

“There is something deeply offensive in knowing that some LLM is probably crawling through the tattered fragments to churn out mockeries of the very real sources, research, and energy that once backed my words. They’ll be vomited back on the shores of my browser, squirming and stinking.”
I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.
What happens when the internet disappears?
Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?
