I appreciate this article but have to say that, once again, responsibility for halting what's happening cannot possibly rest on the shoulders of individual students and faculty! there needs to be broad social refusal of the gutting of higher education https://shorturl.at/rzDR9

The Evisceration of a Public University

West Virginia University is being gutted, and it’s a preview for what’s in store for higher education.

I wrote about how Amazon’s bookstore is filling up with deepfaked authors and AI sludge — an early warning of the challenge that text generation poses to platforms. https://www.platformer.news/p/writers-are-getting-deepfaked-on

August is here. Which means i need to think about teaching. And getting in the last vacation.

Calling art “content” is like calling your pets “meat.” It’s technically correct, I guess, but it’s real reductive and kinda gross.

I felt so much terror and respect when I saw this.
