10 years ago today I exited my own company to go all-in on digital accessibility as a solo consultant.
I spent my afternoon in the office getting dizzy. I was also the only one there.

This thread on devious US Army recruitment practices is likely similar elsewhere and already cause for parental/peer concern, but what struck me most is how that first post on policy reads EXACTLY like the complaints of LLMs seditiously feeding 'engagement'.

Open vs. Closed: The Fight for a New Internet
The Story Behind — A federated internet is forming. It's built on open protocols like ActivityPub & connects services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Tumblr, Wordpress and more into a connected network known as the fediverse. And everyone from tech enthusiasts to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey seem to want in.

"Writing your idea down is not starting the damn game. Writing a design document is not starting the damn game. Assembling a team is not starting the damn game. Even doing graphics or music is not starting the damn game. It’s easy to confuse “preparing to start the damn game” with “starting the damn game”. Just remember: a damn game can be played, and if you have not created something that can be played, it’s not a damn game!"

"Release dates didn’t really have the same heft in 1959 that they do today — distribution, unsurprisingly, was far less efficient. But Art Blakey’s seminal album Moanin’ — which was originally self-titled — was released on Blue Note at some point in mid-January 1959; at least, it was reviewed in the January 19, 1959 edition of Billboard."

"Microsoft was an early investor in many of the latest AI companies. It ended up with a serious stake in OpenAI and benefited from early access to its models, creating Bing Chat and Copilot when Google, Meta, and Anthropic were just getting started. But now its momentum has stalled, and like everyone else, it's not making much money from its AI products. That's because no one is buying them, and that is because very few people actually find them useful, The Information reports."

This extract in particular is an excellent summary of why people turn to AI, and (as well as what follows, namely the "raising the standards and lowering the stakes" bit) an excellent guide to recentering education as a process & practice rather than a series of benchmarks students are required to chase.
