At 4p ET/1p PT, I’ll have a one of a kind interview with Joaquin Oliver. He died in the Parkland school shooting. But his parents have created an AI version of their son for a powerful message on gun violence. Plus TX Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social - see you soon on Substack and later on YouTube.

Hank would *never* vote for Trump for several reasons, least of which being that Trump’s from New York City.
Oct. 2024 poll: 66% of U.S. adult citizens who were familiar with Hank Hill thought if he were to vote in the 2024 presidential election, he would vote for Donald Trump
16% said he would vote for Kamala Harris

Andrew Cuomo's debuting a new campaign logo and slogan ("to build a new NYC") at his presser in Midtown, where he's expected to make a law enforcement-related announcement.
His campaign says the logo's supposed to evoke both a rising sun and the crown of the Statue of Liberty.

Unions need to be leading this fight. It is absolutely a labor issue
Outsourcing to AI might deliver more “free time,” but also removes (at least part of) the faculty member’s claim to promotion and pay raises. If the AI can do it (and the Uni is already paying for the AI), why does Prof X need a raise, since they are teaching 4 classes and AI does 1/2 the work? 6/x

In my work with teachers, two beliefs about AI are becoming "common sense:"
1. AI is inevitable, resistance is futile.
2. Not including AI in a teaching + learning will hold students back in terms of career + college.
Building permission structures for #AIResistance is urgent + critical.

Teaching about and against AI means working with students to analyze the connections between AI and environmental racism. In addition, educators, students, and community members can build coalitions for civic actions against Big Tech and its plans for more extractive, harmful infrastructure.
AI infrastructure may exacerbate past harms that previous fossil fuel industries have imposed upon communities of color, excusing its extractive and harmful impacts in the name of progress and innovation, writes Kapor Foundation tech policy associate Cecilia Marrinan.

We must examine data center locations in tandem with cumulative historical and societal contexts, writes the Kapor Foundation's Cecilia Marrinan.
