"So let’s get one thing out of the way: I think '#AI literacy' is a dangerous device of neoliberal education and it deserves to be dismissed out of hand.

"I don’t like that declaring this will immediately turn off half my audience, but I think it’s only fair to say it up front.

"This has a lot to do with my feelings about generative AI technologies, their developers, their #BloodDiamond genesis, and their ugly consequences for those who use them and those who are impacted by their use.

#Movies

Just watched #BloodDiamond again which is a highly under-rated & seldom mentioned movie.

#LeonardoDiCaprio gives one of his best performances on screen in this film, right up there with his performance in #Revenant.

#DjimonHounsou gives an equally powerful performance, right up there with his performance in #Amistad.

#JenniferConnelly also performs well in a supporting role, as she does in so many other movies.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend that you watch it &, if you haven't seen it in awhile, I highly recommend that you watch it again.

An 8 out of 10 for me!

In Ghana 🇬🇭 when posters can't be imported, local artists will bootleg them to the best of their abilities. Some often are more imaginative than the official studio releases.
