I've said it before and I will say it again many times, people using "AI" to design and deliver 'teaching' to students, to mark their work, and in this case to (!) generate literal voice overs are risking their jobs, and frankly they *should* be at risk if they do this sort of thing:

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

Solidarity to all at @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social! I studied there in 2010-11 and staff were on strike then - I remember one of my tutors explaining that she felt it was part of her responsibility to us as her students to protect the future of academic pay and conditions.

Intervention from @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk on cuts and job losses at Edinburgh university as @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social UCU take three days of strike action this week to save jobs. Strike rally at the Scottish Parliament tomorrow, Wed, at 1pm #SaveHE #StopTheCuts #NoCompulsoryRedundancies
Edinburgh University is facing financial trouble, and the UCU said as many as 1,800 jobs could be at risk.
Our universities are built on the hard work of their staff, and we lose them at our peril.
That's why I raised this issue with the Minister for Higher Education today.

Hi Alex, thanks for raising this; it’s difficult to say that the uni is ‘facing financial trouble’ because the details and provenance of alleged trouble are being withheld by management. We need much more transparent accounting, given the public implications of 1800 job losses.
