Internet technology advocate, collaborator, player with string.
The advent of the printing press brought significant change, too. We couldn't now imagine life without it. Where is AI taking us, in terms of literacy?
AI is changing how we learn and communicate and it's not the first technology to do that. It's not all bad! Join co-hosts @alexaraad.bsky.social and @lesliedaigle.bsky.social to learn more from Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope of @educationillinois.bsky.social .

Online advertising is not going away -- by tracking and selling your shopping data, retailers (on and offline) are able to put data behind which ads are successful. And make money doing it.

Traditional journalism has to compete for attention with social media. This is set up as an unfair fight.
How can we address the structural problems at the heart of today’s social media platforms rather than merely applying “fixes around the edges”? Co-hosts @alexaraad.bsky.social and @lesliedaigle.bsky.social talk with Courtney Radsch ( @courtneyr.bsky.social ) .

It's 10am, and do you know what your IP addresses are up to? I had fun doing the keynote presentation at ARIN 55 this week -- illustrating the threat of attacks circulating on the Internet, and how collaboration among infrastructure operators could address them!

While this approach has powered extraordinary growth, it has also created "discourse dumpster fires".

How can we move beyond the “promote and police” model that dominates today’s platforms? And what practical steps can create digital spaces that bring out the best rather than the worst of us?
Social media has turned human communication into “content” units for processing and ranking -- rewarding sensationalism, replacing trust with surveillance. Co-hosts @alexaraad.bsky.social & @lesliedaigle.bsky.social talk with @jbellack.bsky.social about it
