"I think refusing is actually the more hopeful, expansive vision of the future than the one that is telling us that the future is already settled and decided. That's my daring idea. Just say no."
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Please stay home if you’re feeling sick.
If you absolutely can’t stay home, wear a mask.
There are people who can’t afford to get sick. People without paid time off, people who are disabled or immune compromised, people who are caregivers.

“To make sure that fascists don’t win (i.e. in order for us to stay in power) we will adopt & implement fascist discourse & policies. In doing that, we will also normalize fascism for larger parts of the population because some idiots still describe us as ‘centre-left’”.

"After removing restrictions on weapons exports.. Germanys signed the largest weapons export deal in Israels history"
The point of the 'ceasefire'. Not to stop genocide but to allow countries to more easily resist calls to put pressure on Israel & reverse actions already taken

In Lebanon. Can hear the Israeli drone constantly now. I’ve only been back for a day but folks here deal with it 24/7, for months. It’s psychological torture. You can even see it, just flying around. The Israelis want to let everyone know that they can kill whoever they want whenever they want.

I ended up drafting an email that didn't really lean on research specific to grade school education, but expressed my concerns in the most basic terms.

![Dear [TEACHER],
I want to make sure we're on the same page for the rest of the year, because I was surprised and disappointed to hear that you uploaded student projects to ChatGPT.
We have always found [SCHOOL] to be a place that encourages students to express themselves creatively, to be responsible and aware of how their actions affect others, and to be intellectually honest – doing their own work, rather than copying from others.
I know ChatGPT has been heavily marketed as an educational tool, but everything about it is the opposite of those values. AI tools are built by training models on stolen work. They have huge and terrible environmental costs, because their data centers generate enormous amounts of pollution and are cooled with drinking water. They're also incredibly dangerous: tools like ChatGPT have taught children how to start fires and even encouraged them to commit suicide.
And in a classroom setting, it teaches students that a machine can express their ideas better than they can. I told [ CHILD ] I was interested in seeing what they had to draw, and my heart sank when they told me "but I can't draw that pretty." Children deserve to draw what they imagine.
These environmental, ethical, and pedagogical concerns are why I don't want [ CHILD ] to use AI tools (or for you to use them on their behalf). For the same reasons, I respectfully ask that you stop using them in your classroom.
If you do plan to use AI this year, please send home a permission slip requesting consent. There are important privacy concerns when you upload student work into a for-profit service like ChatGPT.
Thank you,

it's worse than that: the machines could crank out a larger volume of shittier cloth *and* didn't require a lot of training to operate
so instead of paying the same workers the same price for more cloth, they got a bunch of orphaned kids to work the machines

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

This was brutal.. (haven't read the book)
In 2021, Lea Ypi put Albania in the international spotlight with her bestselling memoir, “Free.” Now arrives its prequel, which takes liberties with historical fact in pursuit of a philosophical truth it can’t find. Daniel Petrick reviews “Indignity.”
A Philosopher After All
Lea Ypi’s “Indignity” tries to be too many things—and doesn’t quite succeed at any.
