“Without the True Believers it’s just a bunch of liars lying to each other.” Thanks for your investigative work @eliothiggins.bsky.social - and for sharing it with young people. Great lecture at Leiden Uni on the #information #disorder and the codification of #distrust.
BREAKING | OpenAI CEO rejects Musk-led group’s surprise $97bn bid
A shoutout to our fantastic librarians for beautifully displaying each theme month in our school entrance. February is of course #BlackHistoryMonth.
Street art pushes back. Two striking pieces of stencil art send a loud message. However - they are in the same location. The Trump stencil was first. Was Musk painted and stenciled on top, or is it photoshop? (Why) does it matter?Another #medialiteracy lesson starter. #art against #fascism.
That was fast! TikTok back up. Anyone really surprised? #games #power #BS
Happy birthday ❤️
As wildfires rage in CA, misleading #AI-generated images falsely claim the Hollywood Sign was engulfed in flames. Yet it was never damaged.
Posting fakes for fun and hits? Such dramatic images actually undermine faith in #democratic institutions, says prof Hany Farid.
#TikTok under scrutiny? The Chinese simply launch the next video-based app and kids love it. #rednote Or is its sudden popularity thanks to the massive interest of traditional media? Question for my students: 🐥 or 🥚?
„Look at that hair!“ AI allows the creation of clickbaity fakes like this ‚photo’ of the daughter of former royals Megan and Harry which to date has > 40.000 likes. A quick reverse image search and a check with isthisai.com confirms that the image is AI-generated. #AI I ask my students: is this bad?
The smartphone-free childhood grassroots movement by UK parents is gaining traction. More and more parents wait until their children are 14 before allowing them on social media. For mere communication they use a GSM. smartphonefreechildhood.co.uk Kids deserve this🤞 plus #40hoursmedialiteracy
The Smithsonian museum allows all its images to be shared for free, no asking needed. More than a #cooltool for schools, this is an open door to authentic sources in our increasingly artificially manipulated world, with access to more than 4.9 million 2D and 3D digital items. www.si.edu/openaccess
Sacha Baron Cohen’s sharp critique of social media from five years ago - long before Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter - remains strikingly relevant today. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta... #medialiteracy
#cooltools for media literacy. Practical skills like typewriting; should schools teach it? Typelit.io has students practicing by copying literature classics such as George Orwell’s 1984. What’s not to like? www.typelit.io #40hoursmedialiteracy #digitallearning
David Bowie’s last letter? 🤔 Posted by an account called “This Will Knock Your Socks Off” with no verified source. The photo adds some flair, but the text feels off. Still, it’s racking up thousands of likes and comments! Is it true or false? Does it rmatter? #40hoursmedialiteracy
