RE: @404mediaco@mastodon.social

we did not need a study to tell this to us, but I welcome it of course

loneliness is DEFINITIONALLY about needing another person or people

bravely listened back to my own voice, but thankfully @mel_hogan@mstdn.ca @Iris@scholar.social and Andrea Reyes Elizondo also spoke!

> In this episode, Olivia Guest, Iris van Rooij and Andrea Reyes Elizondo discuss why it’s important to the overall purpose and significance of the university to resist the uncritical adoption of AI in academia. The risk of AI adoption is that it’ll hollow out the institutions first, and then society at large.

Thank you for having us, Mél! Loved it.

I wrote something (not directly about AI) on cryptogyny — sorry still depressing, BUT ☺️ I do end on actionable things and some fun examples along the way, such as

"Comparing [the 108 women scholars until 1800] with 58,995 [men], we find that they were on average better"‼️

I don't understand how or why any person who knows how to read can claim AI systems are good at summarising. But then I realise what they are claiming is different:

1️⃣ they don't know what summary means

2️⃣ they don't care about EVIDENCE AGAINST their views like...

comprehensive video answer to "Is it OK to use AI?" by Gwen Varley

an excellent one for students and those mired in the terminological and ethical disarray to start to think more clearly

Category error! I'm sick to the back teeth of wrongheaded comparisons of inanimate objects to humans. It's so rife even colleagues do it. What's next?

> I compared a rock and a person, and challenged them to stay still the longest and the rock won! Wow!

Things thought up by the unhinged & those who wish to dehumanise for profit.

On deskilling, we always knew; it's the AI hypers who want us to forget: "This experience has demonstrated that it is impossible to create an absolutely reliable automatic system, and sooner or later people face the necessity to act after equipment fails." — Valentina Ponomareva
