The UC system and individual campuses have been capitulating to the feds. The only ones holding the line are faculty.

Is the #PlatformWorkDirective a blunt tool for women? Together with Eva Kocher @cillas.bsky.social, I show how ignoring gendered experiences in care & platform work risks leaving protection gaps. New in European Labour Law Journal: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Dernièrement, trop de discussions sur le "bien-être de l'IA" (si vous le suivez vous savez ce que j'en pense🤮).
Pour contrecarrer ce délire, venez à notre séminaire DiPLab sur le ^bien-être des travailleurs^ des plateforme de data work!
📌Paris 26.9.25, 15h

Le chercheur @casilli.bsky.social révèle un (autre) angle mort des chantres du «tout-à-l'IA»: on sait que nos algos ne seraient rien sans les millions de travailleurs du clic, exploités dans l'indifférence générale. Le nouveau dada de la Silicon Valley? «Pourquoi ne pas donner des droits aux algos?»

Would you listen if Nike told you to disregard the rights of sweatshop workers and instead focus on the rights of sneakers? Then why listen to Big Tech pundits raving about ‘model welfare’ and ‘unions for AI,’ while ignoring labor welfare and crushing worker unions? www.casilli.fr/2025/09/15/t...

Les luddites sont un refouloir des thuriféraires de l’industrie. Le luddisme s’appuie sur un personnage fictif et sur une vision fantasmée de technologies toute-puissantes, qui profite en réalité aux marchands de “solutions” miracles.

Should AI unionize—or should "AI welfare" nerds just fuck off?
According to AI welfare advocates we should focus on the wellbeing of machines & nonhuman entities, while the tech companies that fund their studies blatantly disregard the humans who create said machines. www.casilli.fr/2025/09/15/t...

Reminder @theguardian.com has a partnership with OpenAI; which explains this thinly sourced excuse of an article that relies on ONE Masters student and OpenAI's International Education Lead countered by measly words of "caution" from ONE university admin.

Vacuous, generic and scattershot advice for incoming 1st years on the use of AI at university. Especially liking 'Chin recommends giving it class notes and asking it to generate practice exam questions.' Surely we can't be the only programme that supplies students with past & practice exams?
How to use ChatGPT at university without cheating: ‘Now it’s more like a study partner’
The ubiquitous AI tool has a divisive effect on educators with some seeing it a boon and others a menace. So what should you know about where to draw the line between check and cheat?

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Every time I think about someone saying "it's inevitable" when it comes to some tech thing, I think about Toronto stopping Google from creating a 'smart neighborhood' with their Sidewalk Labs project. A bunch of people worked very hard in their community to say absolutely not, not here.

The more AI looks like a scam, the more I notice it's a scam also meant to try to put workers in their place by threatening their jobs while AI has proven incapable of replacing them.
