The ChatGPT-driven disruption of education is often presented, including in today’s viral NYMag piece, as a surprise event for which ed workers were caught unprepared This ignores dynamics & decisions that, in some cases, go back decades, without which we could’ve metabolized ChatGPT competently 🧵

“We're not hearing those conversations because people have such deep roots in the country,” - Luba Cortés, our Immigration Lead Organizer said. “ They've come to the country, they've built lives. They have children that are graduating college. They might be grandparents at this point.” #HereToStay

They promise good paying jobs assembling cell phones at factory plants while they aggressively oppose: 1) increase minimum wage. 2) right of workers to unionize. It’s dystopian. And it’s a bunch of lies. Don’t fall for this.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

University of Rochester Grad student workers are on strike! As attacks on higher ed, international students, and workers intensify nationally, they’re demanding a fair process to form their union. #highered #union #universityofrochester #gradstudents #seiu

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
