Brutal irony is that "AI labor" is only cheap because it's a market capture gambit. Nobody is paying real cost of using #genAI tools.

Once genAI vendors think everyone's locked in on AI-driven business processes they'll jack up prices to closer approximations of what it actually costs. Any apparent* cost savings will have been temporary.
_
*pretty sure imagined cost savings are a human hallucination, resulting from failure to examine the actual business processes being replaced.

WeekNotes for 2024 Week 16: What I want from AI is an on-demand committee of cocaine-fuelled Franklins remixing and probing my ideas with me – Wilding the Makerspace

We had about 100 people come through the TRU Library Makerspace yesterday for the student-organized repair event in partnership with Kamloops Repair Cafe. A really nice thing about these events is the intergenerational teaching that happens and opening our space to community members.

My kinks are well written governance documents and well facilitated meetings.

Call for Proposals: #NeuroGLAM2023 Conference

Online
August 11th 2023

Neuro-GLAM-orous Canada emerged from the success and elevated feelings around the Ontario College and University Library Association’s 2022 Neurodiversity in the Library conference when it was seen just how badly there needs to be a place for neurodivergent GLAM workers in Canada to share their interests, experiences, research, and support.
