I didn't know the company behind Canvas was called Instructure. It's the perfect name to reflect how ed tech is infrastructure for our schools, but also the corporatization of education and how just because something costs a lot doesn't mean it's actually good.

@adamgreenfield@social.coop we disagree about Tarkovsky in that he thinks Stalker is a better film. I like it but it doesn't make me feel existentially hollow like Solaris.

A summary of my relationship:

My partner's favorite space movie is 2001. My favorite space movie is Solaris (1972).

I'm working on a presentation about how hype and imprecise language about AI is polluting the information ecology. Does anybody have any good examples to think of?

Everyday I'm insulted more by Elsevier forcing me to prove my humanity when I want to read an article they are gatekeeping.

It's funny when websites and programs shut out humans from doing work because they think we're bots. It's like a cousin of enshittification.

When I see transportation articles in Cell, it reminds me that publishers will do anything to increase their reach (read: profits) and authors are always chasing the impact factors.

This just came through a listserv and it's so close and also wildly misses the point.

Worried about AI slop? By all means, ask the slop machine how to avoid slop.

I am looking for a space to have discussions to work through big questions and theories for higher education and libraries. Is there a club I can join? Or who wants to start one?

@dsalo agreed! It’s frustrating but also fascinating to see how individuals are acting as tools of the state for a sense of personal security and convenience.

Replying to @dsalo@digipres.club
@dsalo I think there’s an aspect of power where the shift to the state/corporations from individuals surveilling people is part of the shift (for me at least).

I am going to start asking all library workers who tell me I need to adopt AI to be relevant, "are we dead yet?"
