it's also quite different than insisting that every teacher/professor now turn their class into an "AI literacy" class.

Also I didn't mean to take the honour from you, obviously that list doesn't trump your actual reading, which I'd love to see too 🫡

Well, besides the engagement baiting via controversy/skinner boxing.
That was and is "ML". Twitter, YouTube feeds, and absolutely anything Mark Zuckerberg Touches suck so bad in no small part thanks to ML (or as I've seen a bunch of people call it, "the algorithm").

I’ve seen the ‘crank’ claim used too much by people unwilling to ‘yank’ their head out of their ass.
Put more politely, they’re too enamoured with the supposed consistency of their ideology or way of thinking, that they cannot stand someone saying confidently that they’re flat-out wrong.

yeah, I actually pouted a lot of pain and suggestions into this because of all these types of experiences, indeed Guest, O. & Forbes, S. H. (2024). Teaching coding inclusively: if this, then what?. Tijdschrift voor Genderstudies. doi.org/10.5117/TVGN...

Got my CS degree early 90s and misogyny was rampant in the department. Dept head was known for it. One of my fellow students who later went to work for NSF did prescreening of grant applications and let’s just say one with his name may have found its way to the bit bucket. She had no regrets ;)

I felt the same way as him at the end of last year. Thanks to people like @olivia.science, @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social, I've changed my mind.

They're still going. It is all quite bizar.
Argument seems to be "but superficially it seems that what you write is creationist"
Folks don't seem to realise they are telling on themselves and the superficiality of their own reading/understanding

I’ve been reading a lot of Mary Midgley lately & she nails what happening on here. It’s very strange to be reading her right now, because things she brings up in the books I’m reading appear ‘in the wild’ as it were.

even his own baby daughter??
I unfollowed Arson after he posted about using ai to train on his baby daughter's face and generate fake images of her (a baby!) in different situations she never actually lived, just to mess with her later on in life. What a sick fuck to even have that thought about his own daughter.
