AI is shaping what you see. And what you see is shaping you.
Most people never notice the system doing it.

The tech industry spent twenty years turning users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos. They succeeded.

AI Myth vs Reality
Myth: "AI understands what it's saying"
Reality: AI predicts likely next words. It doesn't "understand" anything.
It's pattern matching at massive scale, not comprehension.
Still useful. But know what you're working with.

Code.org's shift from "Hour of Code" to "Hour of AI" sparks debate: While AI streamlines coding, foundational skills remain vital for critical thinking, innovation, and ethical tech use. Balancing both is key for tomorrow's workforce. #AIEd #TechLiteracy #FutureOfWork #CodingSkills #EdTech

Algorithms shape our online world. Teaching students to audit them builds critical tech literacy—helping them ask, “Is this fair? Who’s left out?” From social media to AI, students explore how algorithms work and where bias might hide. This modern skill prepares them to think deeper, ask questions, and become smart, responsible users of tech. It's a key step toward digital fairness and future-ready learning.

My first big punishment as a #communicator of #techliteracy is having to go through my own files.
Years of neglect has made my storage HDD simulate the conditions of a wild jungle boobie trapped by the natives.
As I brush aside misplaced documents and videos I chance upon an old GIF, i realize:
Hi, I'm Thor and I'm a digital #hoarder.

So many people insist on making shitty GIFs from the 1990s, instead of any actual video format that came out in the 30 years since.

@hexaheximal Lets be honest:
The average #EndUser is most likely so #TechIlliterate they'd not even know how to file an issue on #GitHub, much less provide any patches to it.
#GPLv3 harmed #FLOSS as a net negative for being more of an ideological manifesto than a useable license, demanding stuff that goes completely against existing laws and reality (espechally in terms of patents) and basically opened up the floodgates to what I consider "asshole licensing" that solely exists to stifle any competition and enshure said FLOSS can't be freely used. (see #SSPL, which is worse than a CC-BY-NC-SA as it literally has provisions that may not be strictly legal in many juristictions)...
"Freedoms" also don't work if they ain't real choices:
We can't claim people ain't forced to do wagework when not having a job will cause them to get homeless, die from starvation and sickness.#TechLiteracy is seriously underdeveloped and in fact we see massive amounts of #regression.
The Idea of OS/1337 is to build something that is actually auditable and reproduceable even at the cost of functionality...
Because only the freedoms one can actually exercise against the will of the state are effective!
