avoidance purity is incompatible with increasing AI literacy
"Avoidance purity" is both a strawman and a dogwhistle. Nobody serious is doing either of these things, and a lot of bad actors use this phrase to cudgel people into submission or sow doubt. A strange take, frankly.
That said, the conclusion is false. I practice an extreme form of avoidance purity when it comes to experimenting with whether murder would enhance my life. Nevertheless, I am "murder literate". I contend the overwhelming majority of folks can say the same.
(I recognize that I too am whacking a strawman, but this is for effect; the point gestured at stands regardless).

Neil SelwynEd-tech as climate criminal?
Colm O’Neill is doing some really interesting work around the need to rethink ed-tech in light of its environmental costs ... I got to talk to him about the environmental harms associated with ed-tech and the possibility of taking alternate ‘perma-computing’ approaches:

The environmental harms associated with our tech use are becoming increasingly apparent ... so how should the ed-tech community be responding? Colm O’Neill (South East Technological University) talks about the need to rethink ed-tech in light...

PS: A deeply revolting idea. Apart from destroying Earth-based astronomy, boosting satellite collisions, and overpopulating orbital space needed for other purposes, this would be the largest enclosure of a commons in human history.
It would be like spray-painting graffiti on the walls of the grand canyon, but worse because not everyone can see the walls of the grand canyon. Or like carving Elon Musk's initials in every tree on Earth. Or like destroying silence with an omnipresent 60-cycle hum.

Laura HilligerStephen Colbert and Edward Norton talking about Walt Whitman reminded me of the piece I wrote last year about "Song of Myself". I reread and it's pretty decent. https://www.laurahilliger.com/fbt/fbt-on-awkwardness-and-anti-conformity/
