Call your representatives today. They are counting, and it matters.

every example of how AI could be useful is like “if you were eating cereal, AI could tell you what cereal you were eating”

It does! i-share.carli.illinois.edu

Everyone who wants to push generative AI in teaching because it allegedly speeds up the learning process, should be forced to eat microwaved steak for a year.

Time is often what ensures a good outcome, especially in teaching.

Ok so I have only watched all of the tv adaptations of poirot and Marple but yeah Hastings is annoying. Why does poirot keep him around?

For S5E3 of the WPHP Monthly Mercury, join us as we interview @meganpeiser.bsky.social and @embrarian.bsky.social about their work on the Hicks Collection. This episode has it all—a badass woman book collector, a Boston marriage, and even a heist (!!!): womensprinthistoryproject.com/blog/post/143

Folder says 1970-1971!

Found some radical pubs misfiled as “fliers” in the university archives, including a significant number of feminist/pro-abortion newsletters and manifestos!

To all who are grading AI papers at the end of term, I have made this for us:

Sure! Available free to print or read online at violetbfox.info/against-ai/

Omg and it’s “I Think You Should Leave” themed? (Big Detroiters fan, here). THANK YOU.

Wait wait wait is it possible to get a copy of this AI critique zine????? @violetbfox.bsky.social

This is absolutely charming

Haha yes, they would’ve! But we have to have some way to talk about the T.S. Eliot stuff in the collection—DMac wrote his thesis on Eliot and sent it to him. Eliot sent it back with commentary.

Magnificent. Thank you, Kieran! We’re looking through some Anglo-Irish items acquired by my library in 1968, including Donagh MacDonagh’s personal library…

Seeking help with some Irish! Can anyone read the inscription?

Oh, awesome, Liz!!!

This constitutes misuse of telephonic communications in the state of Michigan. Go to the police. And yes, get out ASAP. Is your landlord the owner of the unit? I can help find out who owns the place if you’re not sure. Let me know if you need help with cats or want to stay in Ferndale TONIGHT.

Omg I just went thru and blocked like 5 just now

NOOOO

It really was so sweet of those frat dudes down in Mississippi to restage their grandparents’ college photos

Hey @colleenlovesbks.bsky.social my school out-sported your school last night. Anyhow, back to rare books 😎😎

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

The problem with slightly veiled right-wing censorship like this is that people who are into civil disobedience can flood it with fake (and possibly hilarious) reports.

Detroit Public Library, main branch!

Shitty ai being integrated into everything despite it being ass is like nepotism with a bunch of tech billionaires insisting we have to work with and take seriously their idiot robot son

I’ve been secretly using this practice but glad you’re approving it publicly for me thanks
