With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged...."

Seems like kermit would be agains the use of AI. #Muppets #AI #aiart
Just a reminder that public media (#NPR, #PBS) costs each taxpayer $2.00 for a whole year and provide an uncountable amount of media from currently produced shows to an extensive archive. No private company can even come close to such a value.
Mr. Rogers once read a children's song to a stubborn senator and saved public media—let's do that again.

KIRK: This is the darkest planet I've ever seen...The thralls have no freedom, Shahna. You don't think or do anything but what the Providers tell you...On Earth, men and women live together, help each other, make each other happy.
SHAHNA: I do not think your words are allowed.

We don't have an energy shortage

We don't have a housing shortage

I'm teaching my 5th graders how to use drills and drivers right now. We're going to build a greenhouse and grow some vegetables. This is better than AI. All the 'edtech thought leaders' telling me I need to integrate AI into my curriculum can shrivel up and blow away on the cold cyber wind of 'progress'.
