#juliaangwin — Public Fediverse posts

“#RulesforRadicals” was written at a time of epic social upheaval in the #UnitedStates, and it was read avidly by #VietnamWar #protesters, #feminists, #civilrights #activists and warriors on #poverty. More than half a century later, a new mini-genre of “how-to” #books about #dissent and #activism has emerged, drawing lessons from past #protests for the era of “#NoKings” rallies, #BlackLivesMatter marches and the campus pro-#Palestinian #encampments.

Coincidentally but intriguingly, three of these books were #written by #Jewish #authors who, explicitly or not, are offering advice on resistance drawing on Jewish wisdom, role models and historical precedents.

The three books — “How to Be a Dissident” by #GalBeckerman; the forthcoming “On Courage” by #JuliaAngwin and #AmiFieldsMeyer; and “Be a Refusenik!” by #IzabellaTabarovsky — arrive at a moment of #protest fatigue and #political #polarization.

News Summary: Guardian Exposes AI-Powered Publishing Scams; Grammarly Sued over Expert Review Feature

Naughty AI has generated (pun intended) a lot of column inches this week. I want to start with a really important longform piece in the Guardian, which shows that mainstream media is catching on to the most obviously predatory use of the new technology.

It's great to start reading of #HarryFrankfurt's work on #Bullshit.^1

I just learned of it while reading a conversation between #JuliaAngwin and #ArvindNarayanan^2about #AISnakeOil. It keeps making me think of #NeilPostman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, and marketing... lack of humility, "irrational exuberance"..

I find it troubling that journalists let a single ad-funded business take over and centralize this function, and took so long to realize it was a bad idea :/

> Twitter has been my second home for more than a decade. It’s where I post articles, read articles by other journalists, and keep tabs on researchers and newsmakers. Long ago, Twitter replaced the newswires—AP, Reuters, etc.—that I used to keep open in a tab on my computer desktop.
