when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.

I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.

Under a video of a girl talking about how her face was being put on nudes using ai. I left a comment to express my frustration with ai and empathy towards her situation. I ended the comment with “I hate AI” Now I know this comment was probably made with good intent. But let’s break this down, because this isn’t the only comment I got in reply. Comments like this have been increasing where they acknowledge the surface issue but immediately pivot to a technicality, exception, or unrelated positive. Medical AI helping doctors is great. Using AI to create fake nudes without consent is disgusting and should be illegal. Those aren’t the same thing. There’s a term for this, “deflection by exception.” This happens a lot, especially in online culture. They prize “nuance” above all. Strong opinions get automatically labeled as extreme, so people feel compelled to “both-sides” everything immediately. An oddly specific positive example is an easy way to signal sophistication. This kind of reply isn’t really engaging with the core complaint. It’s a verbal sidestep that lets the responder feel intellectually superior while dodging the actual harm. “Deepfake election interference or propaganda” → “Misinformation existed before AI too.” Each time, the specific, worsened vector enabled by generative AI gets diluted into generic human flaws.

Just a reminder that no Republican even showed up to these hearings, which lets you know just how badly they wouldn't be able to spin this.
