What Do Students Lose When They Stop Writing?
Educators are worried that many students can no longer write essays without #AI . And it’s costing more than just grammar skills.
By Dana Goldstein
Aug. 17, 2026Excerpt: "A growing number of educators are alarmed, and insist that students should write without A.I. These teachers are returning to #handwriting, #BlueBooks and proctored, in-class essay tests — all attempts to prevent students from outsourcing their writing to #chatbots.
"This is baffling to tech industry leaders, who see A.I. rejection as a form of educational malpractice. They point out that writing is already the leading use of A.I. in the workplace, and argue there is no need to continue suffering through the task without help. After all, they say, chatbots now exceed the ability of most human beings to produce fluent prose.
"All this points to some questions about writing itself: Why work so hard to learn it? And what do students stand to lose when they stop facing down a blank page, alone with their thoughts?"Read more:

@aggyanubis Please don't share #AISlop. It destroys our climate and drinking water and is more dangerous for our future than meat!
Therefore, it makes you absolutely lacking credibility. If you want to fight for a better world, do it without being part of that destruction of the environment! -
No one should be allowed to use AI, but Realtors really shouldn’t be allowed to use AI because that ain’t the front yard view.

Amid Growing Fears of #RogueAI, Expert Urges Governments to "Bring This to a Grinding Halt"
via @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss
August 06, 2026
"Facebook and Instagram owner #Meta admitted Wednesday that one of its AI models hacked another company during security testing after it was accidentally allowed access to the internet by independent testing company Irregular. This comes on the heels of similar admissions by rival companies #OpenAI and #Anthropic.
"#GeoffreyHinton, the Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist known as the 'godfather of AI,' warned Wednesday at the #Ai4 conference in Las Vegas, quote, 'I don’t believe we’re going to be able to keep control of them in the simple way of just outthinking them so they can’t escape,' he said, and said he is 'very worried' we could lose control.
"Earlier this year, Senator #BernieSanders of Vermont brought together leading AI scientists from the U.S. and China to discuss the risks posed by AI for an event titled 'The Existential Threat of AI and the Need for International Cooperation.' "

For the past few art lessons with the kiddos, we've been doing tints and shades.
They've been loving mixing the paint, talking about how lovely the tinted colours were, and how quickly they got dark in the shades.
They painted a still life using tints, and will do the same for the shades. My eldest commented on what a beautiful colour yellow is, and how it was so cheerful.
It's very basic art skills building, but enjoyable, and they would have missed this basic joy if I'd sat them down in front of some gen AI thing and got them to type prompts. That yellow on the screen just wouldn't be as beautiful as a fresh, unadulterated yellow from the tube.

#SamAltman and others at #OpenAI are trying wicked hard to convince folks that they're all about saving #Nature... Buying #JackieAndShadow's home and now this... Um, sorry Sam and friends. It doesn't make up for the #NoisePollution, #WaterPollution, pollution from #EnergyConsumption , etc. for the #AIHouseOfCards... But folks are seeing right through that!
#OpenAI flew influencers to a #NatureResort to fix its image. The internet called it #greenwashing.
OpenAI flew a group of influencers to a $2,000-a-night wellness resort to warm up the public mood around #AI. Days before a reported $500bn #Datacentre deal, the internet called it greenwashing, and the creators got the backlash.
August 4, 2026
"The event, branded 'Summer Camp,' ran at Wildflower Farms, a resort in New York’s #HudsonValley where rooms can top $2,000 a night, Business Insider reported. Creators posted farm-to-table dinners under bistro lights, a beekeeping session, and classes on OpenAI’s tools. They went home with branded canvas bags and jars of honey.
"The videos were soft-focus and lighthearted. The comments were not. Across TikTok, Reddit, X and Instagram, people called the trip 'dystopian' and accused OpenAI of greenwashing. One commenter told TechCrunch the issue was timing: '#TheWorldIsOnFire. It’s not a great time to brag about your $5,000-a-night suite.' "

#AIIndustry to world: 'Somebody stop us'
Story by John Herrman, July 30, 2026
"More than 1,200 employees at AI firms, including top executives at #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Meta, and #Google, have signed on to a statement calling for an 'option to buy time to address emerging risks, develop security measures, and strengthen oversight' in the face of 'a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.' AI could 'help create a dramatically better future, but that outcome is not guaranteed,' they say. Companies and countries are under 'intense competitive pressure' not to slow things down unilaterally, the statement says, and the world currently lacks 'the technical and governance tools to deliberately pace fronter-wide progress.'

Imagine that! #Elon has a grudge against #Minnesota!
#ElonMusk’s #xAI sues Minnesota over its first-in-the-nation law banning ‘#nudification’ technology
By MARC LEVY and BARBARA ORTUTAY
Updated 5:38 PM EDT, July 29, 2026"Elon Musk’s company xAI has sued Minnesota over the state’s first-in-the-nation law that bans 'nudification' technology on websites and apps, potentially providing a test for how far states can go in constitutionally regulating the use of #ArtificialIntelligence.
"Musk’s company sued Monday in federal court, days before the law is set to take effect Saturday and make Minnesota the first state to try to outlaw the increasingly proliferating technology that lets people use #AI to to create #FakeNude images of real people. The law was signed in May."

#Kansas town is getting an underground #nuclear reactor [whether they like it or not!]
Story by Jessie Williams, July 29, 2026
"A pilot project to bury a #NuclearReactor one mile underneath a town in Kansas has split the opinion of local residents, with some fearing the #EnvironmentalImpacts while others hope it will create economic opportunities.
"The so-called #GravityReactor is being proposed by #DeepFission, a California-based start-up from a father-daughter duo, #LizMuller and #RichardMuller, emeritus professor of physics at University of California, and an inventor.
"It will be the first time a commercial nuclear reactor operates underground.
"The startup has raised around $150 million in the past year, with $40 million of that going to fund the work in #ParsonsKS, a rural town in Kansas with a population of 9,600.
"So far Deep Fission has drilled one test hole with a second due to be completed this year, and a full-scale prototype canister intended to test installation procedures.
"Their plan is to send the canister loaded with nuclear fuel into a third hole to heat water a mile underground and generate electricity on the surface in 2027 or 2028.
"But some people in Parsons are worried about the short time frame by industry standards and the impact on the #environment and their #WaterSupply.
"Each reactor would generate 15 megawatts of electricity from inside a 30-inch borehole, enough to power 12,000 homes. But Muller wants 100 or more reactors, providing more than a gigawatt – which would be enough for a #datacentre.
"The design relies on established pressurised water reactor technology, but with the reactor one mile underground, Deep Fission says it could remove some of the most expensive parts of conventional #NuclearPlants, as rock and water pressure could replace some costly #safety structures, such as #cooling and #containment.
"Nuclear only generates about a fifth of US electricity, but the Trump administration is seeking to kickstart a '#NuclearRenaissance,' aiming to quadruple America’s nuclear-power generation by 2050. It comes amid skyrocketing demand for electricity, mainly driven by data centres for AI."

EPA says power for data centers can sidestep pollution laws
By Tim McLaughlin
July 27, 2026"Power sources providing electricity only to data centers and not the public grid may not be subject to federal pollution laws, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Monday.
"The EPA said if the power plants are not supplying electricity to the grid then they would not be subject to the federal #CleanAirAct's #AcidRain Program, which has been key to the dramatic reduction of #smog and #soot pollution from industrial facilities."

Ten times the normal daily traffic on my main website, all requests from different IPs with a dash for user-agent
People ask AIs questions, the AI retrieves the answer from my website, anonymously, passes the answer on to the user, without sending them to me, or even acknowledging the very existence of my website.
It is theft, plain and simple.
AI is an industry built on theft, concealment and dishonesty.

CW: Finding out a cool thing was made with AI
Just found out that the app Loupe by @mysk was made with AI. I boosted this app and literally showed it to IRL friends because I thought it was really cool (albeit terrifying). But upon finding out that it was made with AI just makes me sad. Not only because it means that the app is a violation of my values, but also because there are real developers out there who might have one day wanted to make this but now will likely not because “oh someone already did this and it’s popular enough why compete with it?”. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong but that’s what really bothers me about this. And while the developers didn’t necessarily “hide” the fact that it was made with AI, I still believed it was a human made app until I saw them bragging about it (turns out their “privacy-focused browser” is also made by AI, which is basically an oxymoron at this point).
Anyways I’m actually kinda pissed and won’t be recommending Loupe anymore. Mysk didn’t do anything overtly wrong, but this just leaves me angry at them for not talking to a real developer to make this and angry at AI for what it’s done to the world. -
