#Infrastructuring
We wrote about a few alternatives to this private re-infrastructuring of public education in the paper. These alternatives remain in the periphery but represent different pathways to better futures of education than the dismal narrative we're being told is inevitable right now. /end

The result of what we call this re-infrastructuring of education by tech companies is likely to be increasing loss of control of pedagogic and administrative processes to automation and - our current big concern - "AI agents" that undermine the entire enterprise of education. 4/

It's still their plan.
Don't get got, this is still a self-coup. If we cant settle this in a civilized manner, well...

It's hard to move jack anything if the soft infrastructure isn't soft infrastructuring. Don't let folks near the bolt cutters, all the cows might get out. That'd be a hot mess.
If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway.

To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

It feels relevant, albeit a bit of a squeeze in some/many ways (I'm working on it!), but the community-led ethos and actions participate in collective infrastructuring is, to me, directly related to the thrust of what is often termed 'scholar-led' approaches to contemporary digital publishing.

labour: um. well. we're using private companies, see, but it's not privatisation. it's restructuring and... idk, i guess modernising, and maybe infrastructuring with private capital

We have @benpatrickwill.bsky.social talking about how gAI represents a trend that stretches back to terms like "big data" and "data analytics" - gAI represents a re-infrastructuring of HE around "edu" platforms. #EdAIHE

Here is our article for aarhus2025.org on Infrastructuring for Aesthetics of Access wherein we reflect on the potential of designing accessibility not as a technical obligation, but as a situated, co-creative process. Based on work at kisd.de with un-label.eu dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
