New awareness campaign

I've been thinking that if LLMs existed in 1934, prompts asking about Reconstruction would probably elicit output trained largely on Dunning School writings and Birth of a Nation. Luckily modern LLMs can't reproduce such bias 🙃

I am in a Facebook group where people ridicule AI slop. Someone shared a Sora video in which Hitler was giving a TED Talk about how he was forced into World War II by the Poles & the Brits. I reported it & FB said it was not "hateful." Also, Sora apparently has no qualms producing vids with Hitler.

Are there any examples my academic followers on here know about of *student* resistance to the use of LLMs, among undergrads or graduate students?

Columbia University forbidding faculty from moving classes online to protect students from ICE. The email also lists "resources" for concerned students, which is rich, given that Mahmoud Khalil contacted Columbia the day before his apprehension to reach out for help: zeteo.com/p/scoop-emai...

Horrible. As a past recipient of a Fulbright scholarship, as well as an educator who has touted the Gilman scholarship to my own students (who tend to come from disadvantaged backgrounds) this really hits home.
