do you know you have 30 minutes?

If a company can break the entire internet, they are too big. Period. It's time to break up Big Tech.

bad news guys

kids are committing suicide after talking with AI chat bots and a lot of people are asking “how many children have to die before things change” and i would like for you all to look at the statistics of school shootings and tell me when you think the government will care

what people don’t realize is that to write is to think. by outsourcing your writing you are outsourcing your thinking. you are paying for the degradation of your own mind. don’t use AI to “structure” your thoughts. structure them yourself. a shortcut to nowhere

Read fiction books. Read nonfiction books. Read classic books. Read modern books. Read science books. Read sci-fi books. Read psychology books. Read philosophy books. Read business books. Read biography books. Read history books. Read poetry books. Just read.

Reading isn’t a maths problem. It’s a habit. Reducing it to “one book every 3 days” is exactly why some people think it’s impossible.

No amount of budgeting or not eating at restaurants will make up for the fact that we do not make enough money anymore for this economy.

"let me ask chat gpt" me:

I find Gmail’s new “write this for me” feature deeply sinister. They’re trying to convince you that you are dumb and helpless. Don’t let them steal your ability to formulate thoughts and communicate. You were capable of writing an email in 2022 and you’re capable now.

iPhone: heyyy we updated your iOS! me: oh ok. is the new one better? iPhone: no!! ❤️ everything is weird now

There can be no ethical use of AI when its trained on copywritten sources, reliant on labor exploitation for its training, leads to cognitive deficits in children, and data centers are simultaneously poisoning communities, polluting the air, and using our limited water sources

A child who can pass standardized tests but can't question authority isn't educated. They're trained.

I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.

Not enough people talk about the grief of realizing your diagnosis SHOULD'VE come decades ago. It's not just "everything makes sense now." It's... "who could I have been, if someone had seen me sooner?... damn... You are allowed to mourn.

Classroom teacher here to remind everyone that this is cognitive decline caused by repeat COVID-19 infections. Screen-less classrooms and conversations with parents have shown significant declines that can’t be explained with just the change towards screens

There are many reasons to resist AI (e.g. environmental harm, the power it gives to states/corporations, intellectual theft), but perhaps the biggest one for me is that, despite it all, I still believe that the human intellect is miraculous, irreplicable, & worth fighting for.

Yeah I know what an AGLET is

and this is why education is important because the republican party under donald trump and the republican party under abraham lincoln are two very different things

Most important thing here is that Zohran's video team uses "POV" correctly
