like a lot of other people now, the easiest way to *lose* my Dem 2028 primary vote is to promise some sort of "turning the page" bygones be bygones. it has only been seven months into a four year term and they are laying our government to waste. even small things like this feel humiliating
I will also say that if you've ever had a problem with Airbnb and needed to deal with Airbnb's customer service: that person is now running the design of federal government websites.

Any time Serena Williams so much as reacted badly over a bad call the media would say she was either having a meltdown or called it “embarrassing”.
Just sayin’.

"Oh no"
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

This is exactly the kind of energy educators need going forward. Plagiarism has always been very dimly viewed in academic and educational circles; why are we suddenly accommodating the plagiarism machine?*
AI policy I'm putting in my Fall syllabi. Feel free to adopt & adapt it.

Art is freedom. Art is rebellion. It is defiance. There are people who don't feel a thing. Hollow men. We put them in charge of our souls.

This is where their "AI" stems from, btw. This is their attempt to turn the act of creation into an automated assembly line that punishes a person who does something they can't. They have two goals: to be liked, to be creative. Failing that, they made a blow-up doll to tell them they're good enough.

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

As I've said in the past, I love Superman. He represents the best of everything humanity could be, but isn't. Yet.
As a counterpoint, Lois represents the best of everything humanity currently is. It's why they're perfect together.

Stop using AI.
Yes, even just for fun.
AI is built on STOLEN images and text.
That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI.
Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment.
(Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

If A.I. was used to make a comic, I simply do not want to read it. Period. I buy books to support actual humans making art, not guys being paid a dollar to type shit into the plagiarism machine.
