15/ Like Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and too many other wealthy & powerful men, Elon Musk is a toxic mix of narcissism, insecurity, sexism, and a particularly cruel form of unkindness that seems especially gleeful about punching down on those with less power.

'You are completely entitled to opinions that are not supported by evidence. But the moment you spread that opinion as fact, you are a liar. And if you spread it as fact knowing it is not supported by evidence, you are both a liar and a fraud.'

Sounds good to me.
Supermarkets with no distorted piped music, politicians who say what they mean, lots of trains, no tags in clothing, subtitles as standard in all movies, unperfumed cleaning products, no platitudes or small-talk...
What's not to love?

Dr. Jonathan N. Stea This is a collapse of division of epistemic labour. I don't think it is an exaggeration to say it is civilisation-threatening.

8 of my students chose to reflect on AI feedback for extra credit (in addition to peer review and a required tutor visit) through MyEssayFeedback.ai.
The main reactions?
*Surprise at how accurate, specific, and useful the feedback was.
*Desire to use AI for feedback again.

We theorize 'platform governance' as a way to understand how platform technologies are remaking existing governance regimes in education and the implications for educational equity.
