![]() "There is no one way to think, hell, often there is no way to think at all as one grieves. How does one, how can one ever even think about the loss of a loved one – parent, child, lover, friend – before or after it occurs? So I appreciate too the heavy work that other writers have undertaken to try to express the inexpressible, to try to understand the unfathomable.
Here's where I pause for the refrain, the reminder: artificial intelligence "knows" nothing. It "knows" nothing because it "experiences" nothing.
Debate all you want about "reasoning" and "reasoning models." The provocative and disruptive ways of thinking lie elsewhere – in imagination, in curiosity, in hope, in unraveling... in how we grapple with love and loss."

![]() Storytelling and the Art of Tenderness: Olga Tokarczuk’s Magnificent Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech –"She calls for something beyond empathy, something achingly missing from our harsh culture of dueling gotchas — a literature of tenderness:
Tenderness is the art of personifying, of sharing feelings, and thus endlessly discovering similarities. Creating stories means constantly bringing things to life, giving an existence to all the tiny pieces of the world that are represented by human experiences, the situations people have endured and their memories. Tenderness personalizes everything to which it relates, making it possible to give it a voice, to give it the space and the time to come into existence, and to be expressed."

![]() Over a decade ago, at the height of the MOOC madness, many people crowed excitedly about "the end of college" – not because the various technologies they believed would enable this were any good (by "good" I mean either "pedagogically sound" or "at all pleasant to use"), but because they hoped

![]() "(...) But here's what I think: most people don't want "AI." Most people are exhausted by the onslaught of technology "upgrades" that have consistently made everything worse. Most people stopped being wowed by technology a decade ago because they don't have a stock portfolio or consulting gig that demands their ooohs and aaahs. Most people know "AI" is bad for their future – that it's something their bosses want in order to surveil, control, and probably fire them. (According to Bloomberg, tech companies are no longer bragging about the "hyperscaling" of their user-base; they're boasting about how few people are on their payrolls.) There's a reason that one of the big backers of Cuomo, alongside the Democratic establishment, was DoorDash incidentally: the future of work is piecemeal employment algorithmically organized."

"There is a deep disorder in the discourse of generative artificial intelligence (AI). When AI seems to make things up or distort reality — adding extra fingers to human hands, inventing nonexistent court cases, or generating surreal advertisements — we commonly describe them as AI hallucinations. But a metaphor of hallucination reinforces the misconception that AI is conscious; it implies that AI experiences reality and sometimes becomes delirious. We need a new way to talk about AI outputs when they don't match our expectations for realism or facticity. For this paper, we analyzed the implications of more than 80 alternative terms suggested by scholars, educators, and commentators. Ultimately, we chose a more fitting term: AI mirage. Just as a desert mirage is an artifact of physical conditions, an AI mirage is an artifact of how systems process training data and prompts. In both cases, a human can mistake a mirage for reality or see it for what it really is. We propose the general use of the term AI mirage in place of AI hallucination because it can help build AI literacies, prompting us to explore how AI generates outputs and how humans decide what those outputs mean."
![]() "From reactive to predictive design: Rather than designing based on past experiences and receiving feedback after development, we can now simulate learner responses before committing resources to development phases.
From generic to psychologically informed design: Instead of treating learners as cognitive processing units with preferences, we can engage with them as complete psychological entities with complex motivations, concerns, and contextual pressures.
From assumption-based to evidence-based iteration: AI personas provide methodologically sound alternatives between expensive learner research and assumption-driven decisions, offering evidence-based insights with superior reliability compared to conjecture while maintaining greater accessibility than comprehensive learner studies."

(...)
Artificial intelligence – not just generative AI but particularly generative AI – is one way to do this, and it functions quite neatly as a package of ideologies and practices that seeks to destroy education. I mean, I know that many folks think they can bend these technologies to "make easy" and "do good," but under our current political and economic conditions, that is dangerous, if not impossible. I am appalled – truly appalled – to read calls to "reconsider reading" because of AI; to outsource not just teaching but thinking to AI; to shrug off research and writing because of an imitation of inquiry that comes packaged with a friendly chat interface; to allocate care and service with AI; and, in the end, to mock those who question and refuse AI – to actively undermine others' choice and autonomy – just because the marketing copy insists "things are changing so fast" and someone's got the stats to "prove" it.

Virginia Woolf summed it up beautifully:
“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.”
Today I would say that to write, a woman must have a space of her own and wifi.
