The superrich cash in on burning the planet, and then they cash in on repairing the damage they have done. Make them pay!

"It also worsens global inequality as those least responsible for global heating end up having to pay those most responsible in terms of higher food prices, repairing homes damaged by extreme weather or relocating to other areas."

Against popular opinion on bsky, i think this is a measured & sensible approach. The material explicitly doesn't say kids should *write* but *draft* after coming up with ideas and a plan for themselves, which is fine, especially for that age group of 14+. (I'd personally go for 16+ but ok.)

Luddites opposing AI literacy in education is backwards, regressive ignorance of new tools for exploration & research, and for these age groups of 14+, this is damaging and harmful. If you think we should keep AI literacy out of schools, get out of your reactionary luddite circlejerk & touch gras.

Teenagers are encouraged to explore questions of identity and deepfakes aswell as cognitive offloading and cognitive surrender, to discuss questions of AI policy in school and to think critical about AI. All of these make sense.

The material explicitly states that arguments and counterarguments should be developed before and that AI-drafts have to be rewritten and developed further. This is fine. (My approach would be that kids come up with the draft, and only then consult an AI system. Arguably, this may count as "plan".)

This is a good summery by @jayvanbavel.bsky.social of what social media has done to societies, creating a hyperaffective media environment that favors extreme partisanship and distorts our image of the other.

The tragedy here ofcourse is that there are real issues in the world worth fighting for and over, and this media environment makes any activism suspicious to anyone with knowledge of how the media environment operates, because the media environment itself already activates. That's a huge problem.

Anyways, i became interested into socmeds effects on human psychology around 2010, and watched the shitshow going sideways in awe since gamergate. Back then i coined the german descriptor "Das neue geile Internet", which is a nice pun and both means "The new awesome/arousing internet".

These are the reasons why i nearly completely stopped listening to 1. people with a monomaniacal focus, especially politics and 2. anyone overly partisan. Partisanship itself can't be dismissed if one side actively dismantles democratic institutions and erodes social norms and values.

"Social media is now the primary source of moral—and especially immoral—content. This dwarfs our exposure to similar content from print media, TV, and radio combined, as well as the real world."

"While only 3% of active accounts are toxic, they produce 33% of all content; 74% of all online conflicts are started in just 1% of communities, and 0.1% of users shared 80% of fake news."
