“Artificial intelligence (AI)–synthesized text, audio, image, and video are being weaponized for the purposes of nonconsensual intimate imagery, financial fraud, and disinformation campaigns.

had to explain RSS to two fellow gen z-ers
me: its kind of like subscribing for updates on a website, before "following" was a thing.
them: oh, is that something new?
me: actually closed "following" on walled gardens, like twitter, kind of killed out a lot of RSS for our generation, but there are people who still use it and find it handy
them: wait, so i don't need to make an account?
me: no.
So very tired of U.S. higher education's love of metacognition, or the notion that students must always reflect on what they do & why they do it.
Part of my pedagogy advocates for something else entirely, something summed up in these words:
"I am trying to check my habits of seeing, to counter them for the sake of greater freshness. I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I’m doing."
- Robert Rauschenberg qtd. by John Cage
