So:
🔹️Execs ❤️ AI.
🔹️Workers (who care about getting it right) dont.
🔹️But because of confirmation bias, execs tend to take lesson that it's great for everyone.
🔹️So execs want everyone to use it, and are convinced it will increase efficiency

Good statement on trickle-down.
Would be good also to hear:
"Govts are NOT like a household", and
"Your taxes DON'T fund Govt spending".

Yes, goodness, this is all well said!
"By all accounts, everything we have been doing as a sector has been right...not attacks...not political games. These were the natural, trauma-informed responses of a profession that knows exactly what it looks like when someone in power becomes dysregulated"

The leadership I would like to see is one that doesn’t think it’s a win to deliver what people should already have to survive.
The leadership I would like to see knows the opportunity is in what people need to move beyond surviving, into thriving.
That’s the job - and it should show up in policy.

The Framers anticipated a president who wanted to be a king.
but they couldn’t build a political system to could resist a small cabal of billionaires who purchased and shaped an entire political party, and used their money to select Congressmembers, judges, and staffers who want to destroy America.

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Luke Malpass is not an unbiased source; he has a long history of writing pieces that are solidly grounded in pro-right-wing ideals, he's good at framing the left in a v poor light, and none of us should be taking him at his word without some critical thinking involved.
