Åtstramningspolitik och AI-teknologi, eller kort och gott ”institutional auto-cannibalism”
„CSU—US’s largest public uni system—went all-in with a $17mill partnership with OpenAI. . .CSU unveiled its grand technological gesture just as it proposed slashing $375mill from its budget. While admin cut ribbons on AI, they were cutting faculty positions, academic programs, student services.“
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Läste den här och tänkte på fenomenet att avkräva andra människor hopp och tro. Och hur det nog handlar om obehaget det väcker hos den som avkräver att möta någon som inte har hoppet kvar. Som att vi är oförmögna att stå ut i den råa känslan av att inte längre tro. Men hopp krävs inte för handling.

Great story about cultural heritage and place as being something more than just location. How parts of an iconic Philly skate spot moved across the Atlantic to Malmö, Sweden.

organized through U. of Minnesota “a campaign called ‘Save Our Signs’.. ask[s] the public to take photos of existing content at national parks and upload it. The group is using those images to build a public archive before any materials may be altered. So far, it has more than 800 submissions”

"It’s fortunate for someone who's trying to make a film, because skaters, in a lot of ways, were trailblazers. They had cameras [+ they recorded their friends doing tricks]... When you think about it, they were the original content creators."

Birgitta Eds existentiella herrgård ger mig mardrömmar
Plötsligt vill alla tala om existentiell hälsa. Åtminstone alla i regeringens närhet. Men behöver samhället verkligen lägga enorma resurser på undersökningar som visar att man mår bra av att vara i…

Critical humanities discourse on AI will be doomed if it does not come up with better metaphors. Corporate AI is not a «cognitive entity» or some «other intelligence». It's a political project and a system of surveillance, extraction & exploitation

The question is, which university in Europe will set up the Institute for Social Research first for the scholars fleeing from the US? - like the US did for the scholars escaping from fascism in Europe in the 1930s and 40s.

Besides consistency in mobilizing crowds for rallies, I guess there would also have to be institutional changes if they can win the next election, for Mouffe to be proven right. Also feel that Borriello and Jäger’s question about membership is relevant in this context.
Keep seeing incredible turnout at these Fighting Oligarchy rallies and thinking...is left populism back? Is Mouffe going to be proven right - just about a decade later than we expected?
BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

It’s wild that the most successful ‘burn it all down’ political movement in recent history is led by people who have become wealthy beyond their dreams within the system they want to destroy.
