With #ChatGPT there has to be some way for those of us creating legitimate website content to prove nothing we have written was created with anything related to #AI. Something like a mark of authenticity. Sounds impossible to prove in the long run, I know. But maybe an organization in which members are accepted for proving they really wrote their own content. More than a "club." Perhaps an academic would be better able to verify if a writer is really a writer? @academicchatter
Why was July chosen for #DisabilityPrideMonth? Because the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990.
What does it mean that laws are being distorted and torn apart in the US right now? Well, 34 years post-ADA, most places in the US still aren't accessible. Things are better than in 1989, but a "compliance" based approach doesn't work as well as an approach of viewing disabled people as part of your community.
You can make a difference by volunteering accessibility! Don't wait to be compelled by law. Now more than ever, offer accessibility because you want to.
As always, finding the way to login and actually logging in was the most painful part of completing a peer review. Not mincing words when Springer Nature asks me to comment on the quality of the experience.
Them: what would you like to see improved about the system?
Me: The login for god's sake! You must be aware that it is of meme-level atrociousness.
Marine Le Pen, a central figure in contemporary French politics, has garnered significant attention as the leader of the far-right National Rally. Her political stance and rhetoric have sparked varied and intense reactions across different feminist perspectives.

When abled people become temporarily disabled and heal again, most forget the #ableism they noticed.
When this high school student actually spoke up, at least partly because of a school project on accessibility, she got a taste of how fiercely systemic ableism trains us to defend it.
This doesn't suddenly get better in higher education - it often gets worse.
Finally remembering to post here, but my first peer reviewed paper was published a week or so ago! Many thanks to @Sophie for giving me the opportunity to write for the Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship and to my editors for helping guide me through the process! You can find it here! @academicchatterhttps://repository.lsu.edu/jcdl/vol3/iss1/5/
Donella Meadows book Thinking in Systems is a good (but dated) introduction to feedback modeling and systems design in ecology. I've always held-out hope that Agent-Based stimulative modeling would advance sufficiently to simulate the behavior of actors governed by these broad systems patterns. And in a way that could include spatial processes in the modeling. Our computers are big enough now.🙂
Nothing says "We care about accessibility and equity for disabled people in STEM like 'Go to Google and let their AI handle it"" #Ableism#DisabledAndSTEM
@ml and the point is not that it is a "zero effort" solution or "not done by human professionals", the point is that AI-generated captions are not good enough in quality to provide sufficient accessibility, and therefore using AI as only accessibility measure is a fucking poor excuse.
