We're not living "in the age of AI". We're living in a moment of unproven AI-related claims.

These are profoundly different scenarios.

And it's disturbing how many folks in education are eagerly, uncritically amplifying the first framing.

Please help us!

I'm so sorry to have to ask for help. But I'm so worried about Arwen, and I'm so sad to see her struggle...
I wish I didn't have to ask for help...
But I've stepped over the big pile of shame and I started this GoFundMe.

It's set up in Dutch, but it tells all that I've been sharing here.

The nasty infection that's now in both her ears. That her piggy bank is empty, and my savings have been used for the house/move.

I'm asking for help with the vet bills, for testing, consults and medications.

Arwen is my best friend, she saved me from suicide, she's all I have... She's the sweetest soul you'll ever meet and she deserves the best! Which I now can't give her... 😢

Please help me when you can! I'm so sorry to ask this... But I want to provide the best for Arwen and I feel I'm letting her down. 😢

Boosts are very welcome.

Yup.

We are in a whole new era.
As bad as we can imagine it to be, it will be much worse.

Before, we had the luxury of time to work on fixing problems.

That is no longer the case.

The climate clock ticks faster every day.

Let me start with a question. Why is it we never hear media report that in the year prior to 10/7/23, Hamas killed 240 Israeli civilians including 47 children, kidnapped 800 more Israeli children, held 8000 Israelis hostage, and built more than 12,000 homes on Israeli land?

The answer: Because Hamas did none of those things—the Israeli government did. Let’s Address This.

Hello fellow math lovers! I have a uni student who would like to interview (via zoom) someone who incorporates Art into their math classes. If you are willing to be interviewed on this topic, can you let me know? DM me your contact info and I will pass it along to her.

I’m not usually a fan of comparisons, but it’s difficult to stress just how obsessive the Israelis have been about specifically murdering children

There's long been one mantra in mainstream economics: Growth is good. But recently, an alternative term has begun taking root in popular culture and policy: "degrowth." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/10/05/economy/degrowth-kohei-saito/ #business #economy #globaleconomy #koheisaito #universityoftokyo
