I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift.
AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it!
Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

We have reached the discussion. @JuusoNieminen makes the point that self assessment is a social and collaborative *practice*. It doesn't happen in a vacuum, rather within the world.

The education system is so outdated now given the state of AI. It's mostly about memorization of facts. With AI, we should be totally rethinking education.
Why aren't we teaching children how to think and helping them to create things?

Everyone wants to know: are new models better than ChatGPT?
But why limit yourself to just one model? Create a panel of AI advisors, where you’re the chair.
Here’s how👇

Flipping this around: now presents an exciting opportunity for HE leadership to try something different. The universities without the reputation of a toxic culture will attract staff, and become more competitive. That's useful to neoliberalism, is it not? #creativethirdspace
"a sense of profound institutional neglect and distrust of university leaders has hastened the exit of many chronically fatigued academics and professional services staff" #highered buff.ly/3Q5HBCG
