I teach them what AI actually is, what it does, and all the ways the results are not actually good. I have them read about the labor exploitation and the environmental impact. I tell them that I would prefer their imperfect English to AI. And I tell them I am not the AI police.

@B_DavisJr @BraedenFRev Jambalaya at Coop’s Place. Seafood at Pêche. Shrimp or roast beef poboy at Parkway Bakery (streetcar and a short walk).

More likely deskilling and downsizing are in Victoria’s future. See for comparison: https://t.co/c3d34pL8Ie

“AI Reskilling” is not how I would describe what’s going on here: https://t.co/uX5WXwNoge.

@c_hackett @afrofuturistlib @fsulibraries can help you understand this and other nuances of publishing contracts, copyright, and how to share your dissertation with folks who don’t have access to ProQuest databases.

This @osuehe podcast on the cost of book banning may be my favorite yet--incredible perspective on why "difficult" books are essential resources: https://t.co/JdcvHtXE8Q

After so much superficial treatment of banned books related to #bannedbooksweek, it's good to see this depth.

[Adam Beauchamp @delayedcajun]

Time to share some news. I’m leaving @fsulibraries at the end of this month and moving back to New Orleans where I’ll be Head of Research & Instruction at @LoynoLibrary. Going home and starting a new adventure!

@UFCJCLibrarian Also of posssible interest here: https://t.co/U739AdQKWT

@julezig So sorry Juliann. Keeping you both in my thoughts today.

[Adam Beauchamp @delayedcajun]

@kelseybogan Last year I put up an exhibit called “Against Liberty: A History of Book Banning in Florida” that focused on who bans books and why. Enslavers, Lost Cause Confederate orgs, and anti-civil rights politicians all afraid of losing the power to oppress others.

[Adam Beauchamp @delayedcajun]

@B_DavisJr Is it a title we have at @fsulibraries or should try to add?

[Adam Beauchamp @delayedcajun]

@Jamespqr77 Not a direct solution, but a good read and could spark some ideas. Maybe have students read this too? https://t.co/6heRxq6Q4u

[Michelle Ciccone @MMFCiccone]

Something that will never not bother me is when adults say "kids/students give their data away for free anyway" as justification for any practice. So? Mimicking industry practices of "informed" consent should be a red flag for us to reconsider what we're doing!

@pmrenfro One for birding, one for sailing, and one for watching the peasants toiling on your estate at a safe distance.
