Aaron's Bluesky Activity — April 24, 2026

Aaron engaged with a handful of distinct topics on a light day.

He reposted concern about the misuse of AI detection tools in education, amplifying a story about a child being flagged for suspected AI-generated writing after using sophisticated vocabulary like "the titular character." The accompanying commentary argued that AI detection pseudoscience is uniquely harmful to bookish, nerdy, or neurodivergent kids, flattening their genuine abilities into suspicion. The underlying story illustrated the real-world consequences of AI panic in classrooms.

He also reposted a thread warning against tolerating health-related misinformation — specifically the kind that frames infrastructure like solar farms or data centers as disease vectors — arguing that this "medieval peasant brain" thinking doesn't stay contained, and pointing to RFK Jr.'s tenure at HHS as evidence of where such credulity leads. That was paired with a ProPublica piece on unfounded health fears around Michigan solar farms. Separately, he reposted alarm about Texas Tech University's policy barring students from writing dissertations or theses on LGBTQ+ topics, with the original poster noting the silence from press freedom advocates who had previously been vocal about campus speech issues. Aaron also posted a brief, standalone note wondering about what a post-Trump Iran policy should look like, framed as a question rather than a take.
