Ugh, I can’t make myself “heart” this one. This is one of the most depressing things I’ve read in … a while.

I don't know how to teach students who hate reading/writing, when reading/writing are the foundations of what I'm supposed to teach. Yes, I engage with audio technologies, digital narratives, cinema, material culture...but it's all forms of reading. I just don't know what they want out of this.

Transcripts used to be done by people who were in the room (or in a booth attached to the room). They prided themselves on being as accurate as possible and would interact with parties to make sure little things, like name spelling and the word for a particular legal principle, were correct.

Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

OpenAI today said that though Raine’s death is tragic, they’re not liable because he said he had suicidal ideation for years before using ChatGPT, and he also sought info on suicide from other online resources

I'll link my declaration when it's up!

So, the fun hypothetical: Given that you don't have an app, that someone can open a tab and walk off without being present in front of the screen, and that posts to your site can be the length of an average novel and take hours to read, how much horrifying surveillance would it take to comply?

We're at crisis point @jacintaallen. You have ministers for racing & casinos in the inner cabinet & outside, the Minister for 'Creative Industries', Colin Brooks. We need you to step up now. The #StateLibrary, an internationally known cultural jewel, is being crunched in the jaws of incompetence.

Scandal after scandal at the #StateLibrary of Victoria. Exhibitions interfered with & cancelled by people who've never worked at a library, museum, or institution with public requirements, hired without scrutiny. Contempt for staff knowledge. Researchers discouraged from expert staff consultation.

The crisis at the Victorian State Library has caused exhibition and whole floor closures, huge reduction in public access to info & services, decimation of expert staff. Many top-level managers literally don't even know what they're in charge of. Where is the Arts minister? Where is the inquiry?!
