“Should we use AI or not in the classroom? @emollick says we’ve gotten past that question on the #ISTELive 24 stage. It’s here no matter what. Trackers can’t properly track – Using AI to see if a student used AI doesn’t work.
“My thoughts on Suno/Udio lawsuits (and really any Gen AI model trained on ‘publicly available data’)
Publicly available data is a euphemism for scraping pretty much anything you can access via an internet browser – including YouTube, podcasts, and clearly commercial music libraries, and as a consequence pissing off record labels and celebrity artists. The crux of the issue? What is ethical is not always legal, and what is legal is not always ethical.”
“Yes robots.txt is not law. It’s a negotiated norm from the pre-AI era. Note the next turn of the ratchet is agents operating the website on behalf of user. OpenAI and other firms are heading here. Who’s going to pay for impression linked ads then?” / X
“Not enough IT security people know how much AI has compromised traditional approaches to security. They are perfect spear phishing machines, solid autonomous hacking systems, and great at voice & video cloning with just a few seconds of audio. And this is just the public stuff.

“Perplexity’s CEO responds to claims they are ignoring robots.txt and crawling websites by saying it’s the vendor they use for crawling that’s does it not them and robots.txt isn’t a law anyway. It’s interesting to watch AI companies break the social contracts the web is built on
““Perplexity is not ignoring the Robot Exclusions Protocol and then lying about it. (…) We don’t just rely on our own web crawlers, we rely on third-party web crawlers as well.”, said Perplexity cofounder and CEO Aravind Srinivas. Srinivas also noted that the Robot Exclusion” / X

“Figma will train AI on private user data — and people are excited about it. None of the backlash Adobe experienced. Similar AI strategy, yet drastically different reactions — Figma excites, Adobe alarms. This is like people being excited about Apple Intelligence, yet shuddering at the thought of Microsoft’s on-device Recall, which eventually got recalled before it even launched and made opt-in only. It’s a stark reminder that in tech, it’s not just what you do, but how you’re perceived doing it.
