My research into educational theory and philosophy and how to relate them to the teaching practices in film and media arts schools continues. Here are some notes from a talk I gave on April 16th, which I believe will form the basis of an article I plan to finish before the summer.

Thank you for expressing the argument eloquently, succinctly, and without aggression.
I confess, I often tire of reading information that's repetitive. My feelings go way beyond ennui when predictability is coupled with writing that's selfish, sloppy, and divisive. This wrong style of writing has become a norm for some of the people are right to be concerned.

"I can't help but wonder if the US economy backs itself so hard into a corner funding these research labs, and if these research labs receive a bailout, what does that mean for China? Why is China releasing these models for free?" https://ghuntley.com/warfare/

AI as economic warfare
People often ask me how I feel about open-source models, and to be clear, I'm very supportive of them. But I can't help pondering about the following... Open source always was and always will be a financial weapon by design. You see, one of the primary goals of open source

Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

Following California implementing a law raising its minimum wage to $20 for more than 500,000 fast-food workers in the state in 2024,
Christopher Thornberg, founding partner of research firm Beacon Economics, offered a warning about the state raising its minimum wage.

—our youth, particularly those from lower-i…

Economists warned California not to raise the minimum wage to $20. They were wrong in almost every way so far, another economist says
“The results are nowhere as dire as predicted,” Berkeley’s Michael Reich told Fortune.
