Harari challenged both optimistic and pessimistic views of AI&#8217;s impact on society, arguing that treating information technology as either purely beneficial or destructive misses the unprecedented nature of our current moment.

Of course, this was back before Google became, as Cory Doctorow so eloquently put it, &#8220;enshittified.&#8221; This week, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols had an interesting article entitled &#8220;Guide&#8230; <a href="https://bwatwood.edublogs.org/2024/12/18/what-does-ai-know-about-me/" class="more-link">Read more <span class="screen-reader-text">What Does AI Know About Me?</span> <svg class="icon icon-next" aria-hidden="true" role="img"><use xlink:href="#icon-next"></use></svg></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There have been some interesting posts in my feeds recently regarding the intersection of AI and the future of teaching and learning. Lance Eaton had a post last month on Jailbreaks and Teaching and Learning.  He reminded us about the limitations of these tools to actually understand.
