NO AI ART/WRITING | 🚫 No Zoos or pedos! 😡
- Okay, I needed a good laugh. XD Maybe look up slang on Urban Dictionary before spouting it out on live television.
- Reposted by R. A. Meenan (Sammie)I was raised by educators who instilled in me a lifelong love of learning, critical thinking and discovering new things. The thought of offloading that onto a LLM, of being so uncurious and uninterested in not just the world around you but also *your own thoughts,* makes me sick to my stomach.

- ...What even is this timeline.
- After watching the AI video of the deceased victim, the judge told the family, "I loved that AI, thank you for that. As angry as you are, as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness...I feel that that was genuine.” I am speechless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
- Reposted by R. A. Meenan (Sammie)Instead of ensuring that everyone had their basic needs met and could live comfortably no matter what they happen to do with their lives, we convinced ourselves that schools were magic boxes that would solve inequality for us fairly instead. That they would train people for success in the economy.
- There's a lot of good stuff here. The education system is so very broken. I teach at a community college and one of the things I do is tutor. These students bring me wildly advanced essay prompts that I was doing in grad school. They're in freshman English.
- Don't have anything new to say about AI here. One thing I will say is that higher ed has long been broken. If elites had spent more time thinking through the point of education and how well we really do it than stoking woke panic, maybe we wouldn't be staring at this abyss. nymag.com/intelligence...

- Reposted by R. A. Meenan (Sammie)I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere. They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.
- Reposted by R. A. Meenan (Sammie)The state of Utah voted to ban pride flags so Salt Lake City Council decided to make official city flags that incorporate the progress pride, Juneteenth, and transgender flags so they can fly them without breaking state law
- If approved, SLC would have 4 flag designs. It's current, as well as one tied to Progress Pride, Juneteenth and Transgender designs as seen here #utpol:
