"There is so much that every one of us can do, and so much to be gained by doing it—not the least of which is a sense of your own agency."

"Experimentation and play can open up space. Instead of making a plan, think of one small step you can take and then see what happens. […] Notice what patch of ground or sky you can see from this new position, and take another step."

"The responsibility of intellectuals is to speak the truth and expose lies."

–Noam Chomsky

#Chomsky emphasizes that those who have knowledge and influence must use their intellect to challenge falsehoods and reveal the truth. Intellectuals, whether scholars, journalists, or thinkers, have a duty to question power structures and educate the public. Silence in the face of deception allows misinformation to spread unchecked.

There is no ethical way to use AI. At least not the Large Language Models (LLMs) we’re mostly talking about these days when we talk about AI.

I’m going to unpack that in a moment, but first let me stress that I am not, for a moment, calling teachers who use AI unethical. The ethical responsibility here does not lie with users of LLMs. It lies firmly with the industry that has created and promoted the use of these machines in wholly unethical ways.

"numerous #conflicts of interest & #ethics issues. #Musk already collects billions of dollars through his #government contracts, & controls #Starlink. If #WhiteHouse employees are using the #internet service, he could have access to their #data... questions as to how secure Starlink’s #network is."
