In 2022, before Chat-GPT and when DALLE was still request-only, I made this AI recipe site to satirize recipe blogs.
I admit that the devil on my shoulder was whispering "aaad revenueee."
It took a weekend. It was fun. Now it just makes me sad.

This is excellent. Does anyone have the citation for the March 2024 paper referenced at 3:06, comparing ChatGPT to Jim Crow? Would like to read and assign.
I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

I have almost changed a bike tire for the first time. It’s been a journey.
And now, at the end of it all, my brakes are permanently on and I can’t solve it.
What happened to WikiHow? Why is everything a hyper YouTube video? Am I in hell?

In case you missed it, this workbook is a guide to thinking through when and how to take risks as a higher ed worker.
It aims to help us differentiate between danger and discomfort, while also offering some practical information about how to protect yourself while taking meaningful action.

Great panel at #DH2025 and it's great to hear more about AI resistance & refusal, giving consideration to whether our methods serve the communities we work with.
Though this ex. does raise questions for me about the impacts of the absence in training data if scholarship is closed.

First @filipa-calado.bsky.social addresses language, copyright, Fair Use defenses, bias, etc. in AI.
Filipa trained two GPT-2 models, one on Heritage Foundation-promoted texts, and the other on ACLU-promoted texts. Hilarity ensues (along w/less-funny stuff).

So I’m walking my dog and suddenly, I am sprayed with water.
I hear, “Oh shit!”
I look to see a woman on her porch with a super soaker. “Did I get you?!”
She launches into explaining about rabbits in her garden. I, groggy, start asking Q’s about gardening. Glossing over—water gun? Rabbits?

I’m frustrated for many reasons at surface-skimming media history takes on AI like “people opposed the printing press too!” If media history is going to help us navigate the present, we have to reckon with something people often omit from those comparisons—the intersection of power & new media (1/4)
