An underrated genre of dudes rock entertainment are when medieval monks have to solve murders. Guys love investigating manuscripts and discovering dark secrets and wearing tunics.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄
NO CHATGPT Or other artificial stupidity: motivation First, clarity on distinguishing AIs: Non-generative: grammar aid, translation, dictionary, text-to-audio (e.g. Natural Reader): no problem As long as you use the appropriate tools (least intensive in data and server energy use). Why? Because you provide the content. Your brain is doing the most important work Generative: ChatGPT & Co. You only supply the prompt, the AI supplies the content. Why is this delegation of work problematic? 3 domains: ethical, environmental, intellectual engagement. (Caveat: generative is probably ok for computer programming, where it can be useful and save time. Not relevant to this class.) 1) AI and ethics Mass theft of all and everything «learning» on books, articles, blogs, social media, images, music, cultural production, without permission of authors/creators, and leading to their mass joblessness. Profits are not reditributed to originators. Permanent destruction of the mental health of underpaid precarious tech workers in the Global South (Kenya, Philippines …): «correction» to avoid production of violent and pedophile contents etc, tech workers are obliged to watch and correct super violent contents for days on end, leading to extreme psychological suffering and trauma, from which recovery is doubtful. No or little compensation (certainly not at the level of the suffering inflicted). In short, an industry built on theft of real human creation and sacrifice of real human health, profiting a few megafortunes. 2) AI and (un)sustainability Massive consumption of electricity, water, server capacity for generative AI. Outcome: keep fossil fuel companies in business, using up new renewable capacity, without any satisfaction of basic human needs. Massive misappropriation of the finance necessary for climate and ecological action (renewable generation, efficiency and retrofit for buildings, public transit, infrastructures for cycling etc) towards AI industry. Overall: undermine climate action, reinforce fossil industry, waste resources necessary for human development. 3) AI and intellectual engagement First, what learning is (or should be) about: The goal should not (only) be the reproduction of «correct» knowledge, But mainly personal engagement and experience of thinking about topics of interest. Personal engagement = using one’s own brain. The most important activity for learning and intellectual engagement is the experience of making one’s own mistakes, by trial and error, corrections based on new ideas, starting over again. Learning to recognise nuances, knowledge gaps, better explanations This kind of learning is possible only through using your own brain, not AI. Also, Ais are not «intelligent». At all. They simply reproduce pre-existing patterns. They «bullshit», invent false references, false facts, false data, simply because those sound plausible. VERY DANGEROUS. If you learn how to NOT use AI, and how to research facts and data on your own, this will serve you and your communities for the rest of your life.

I don't want to live in a meritocracy. I want to live in the world where you'll be ok even if you don't have an iota of talent in your body.

A cybertruck got stuck because it didn't have recovery/pickup points and because the software locked up the rear brakes for some reason. That and it had the wrong tires. Very funny stuff

The way Andrew Tate has only risen in prominence since being investigated and jailed for rape/human trafficking — in conversation with a presidential candidate and tech billionaire today — just goes to show how easy it is for alleged traffickers to achieve status and power in full public view

I’m sorry it’s just so fucking funny that they built an entire AI just to give them the answer they wanted to this question and they couldn’t even do it

Last year a student said "Can I just give up on math? I can't do this." Fast forward to one week ago "Math is actually, low-key, kind of fun. And doing the work in class makes me feel so smart." 😀

I'll take low-key kind of fun!

people say the only reason Sun Tzu’s Art of War was important was because most leaders of his time were inbred failson nobles which to that I say, have you seen a typical boardroom today?

it's just so viscerally apparent that these people aren't very bright even by the standards of, like, sci-fi geeks who've read a few books but never really studied science past high school

Heute ist der internationale Aktionstag gegen Gewalt an Mädchen und Frauen und ein erster Schritt wäre es, die Dinge beim Namen zu nennen. Es sind keine "Familiendramen" oder "Liebestragödien" und Frauen haben auch keine Angst vor Tiefgaragen.
Das Problem sind gewalttätige Männer.

Man kann Gendersterne oder Schreibweisen gern doof finden und sie daher nicht benutzen. Wenn aber eine Regierung beginnt, Sprache zu verbieten, ist das ein Warnzeichen: es geht ihr ja nicht um Rechtschreibung, sondern sie will eine Ideologie erzwingen. Sowas hört nicht nach einem Schritt wieder auf.

In Hessen plant die neue Koalition ein Genderverbot für Schulen, Unis und Rundfunk.

Dieses verfassungswidrige Vorgehen trifft den Rechtsstaat im Kern, zeigt ULRIKE LEMBKE.
