I just listened to this young woman, and I have to say: it’s rare on X to hear someone speak with such sincerity. Listening to her, it’s immediately clear there is a real person behind this account – thoughtful, genuine, and speaking in her own voice. It would be a real loss if a presence like that disappeared from this platform because of reporting campaigns. @Support

Please, @Support. Restore the account of Atieh Bakhtiari (@UnboundedVoice)! She is not a fake profile, as you absurdly claimed in your suspension notice. She is an Iranian American activist and my friend. Monarchists are mass reporting her because she opposes this war on Iran.

@lorenzokamel I've heard "resilience" critiqued as well, but never this clearly. There's also the question of what word or concept to use in its place. "Sumud" is a new word for me, and some of the English synonyms (which include resilience, but also perseverance & tenacity) seem useful.

I've often argued that "resilience" is a flawed (at times racist) concept. This medical doctor explains the point in clearer terms, and compares #resilience & #sumud.
Lorenzo Kamel@lorenzokamel

#Resilience is a flawed concept, unsurprisingly loved by those who know nothing except for Europe's interests, policies & languages. In Sara Mourad's words:

Artificial intelligence models overly affirm and validate users, even when users propose harmful or illegal actions, a new Science study finds. The resulting effect on users is notable: Receiving advice from affirming AI made people more self-centered and less able to see the perspectives of others. Yet people prefer the overly affirming AI, which may further promote this behavior in AI models. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/4lZmdwU

Very smart observation.
Katherine Argent@effthealgorithm

A lit publishing friend said her company screens submissions for the likelihood they’re AI, and turns down subs with high likelihoods. Ironically, they’re using AI to do this and don’t seem to understand that, in doing so, they’re giving AI more content to digest and train on. Now add to the mix this high degree of inaccuracy and you get writers submitting original content that’s being used without their consent to train AI which prevents them from earning a living from their personal work. Humanity can’t keep going in this direction.

@arisroussinos I think they're both exquisite writers—just two very different writers. Having said that, Woolf (my favorite of the two) comes off badly in this haughty, classist assessment of Joyce.

The strange thing in this is that, apart from being the better writer, Joyce was also objectively better educated than Woolf
Bret van den Brink@BretVDB

Virginia Woolf’s diary entries on James Joyce’s Ulysses: “An illiterate, underbred book it seems to me; the book of a self taught working man, and we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, and ultimately nauseating. … I finished ‘Ulysses’ and think it is a misfire. Genius it has, I think; but of the inferior water. The book is diffuse. It is brackish. It is pretentious. It is underbred, not only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense. A first-rate writer, I mean, respects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts.”

AI claiming Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is AI - Are we surprised? I mean the monster was created with random parts that used to belong to other people, and it was reanimated using a lot of electricity...

Which isn't to say that ghostwriting doesn't face a whole new set of issues because of AI.

There is a division of labor in which the hard work of writing mostly gets delegated to the g/w. But the hard work of thinking everything through remains, and is shared with the client. There are no shortcuts.

@ConversationUS (2/2) In ghostwriting as it *should* be practiced, there are no such shortcuts. My clients and I talk through and think through every aspect of the book. It's a highly collaborative effort that feels very much like a co-creation. There is no cognitive offloading.

@ConversationUS (1/2) As a ghostwriter, I would say these are two very different things... The knock on using ChatGPT isn't just that the named author isn't writing all of the words; even more so, it is that they are bypassing the hard work of thinking those words and ideas through...

Read the AI con by Dr Emily M Bender and Alex Hanna. You’ll be able to see through the hype. Listen to Dr. Timnit, she truly knows her shit. Listen to labor unions, who are deeply in this fight and know the ins and outs of these models and its dangers to workers. Especially-

“we’re not angry enough” is off. it’s more that we aren’t organized enough. what is anger with nowhere to go? nothing to do? we won’t spontaneously combust our way out of what’s to come. what’s already here. take the fact of yesterday on the chin. build today, for tomorrow.

@g_shullenberger Right after the 2024 election, I found myself thinking: "It's time to go back and read some Lewis Mumford." This looks great, thanks.

Lewis Mumford argued that a quasi-religious faith underlies our culture’s embrace of technology. The AI revolution is the latest reminder of the value of this insight: compactmag.com/article/ai-and…
