AFT and university administrators may have bought into the AI hype, but we don't have to join them!

A really great resource that includes a page dedicated to labor bargaining (and more evidence that the Luddites were right for fighting the obnoxious machines of automation).

Rotten Tomatoes Score Rotten 26% Critics Consensus: Wherefore art thou, good movie?

I bet Rotten Tomatoes thinks this means "Where are you, good movie?" but it actually means "Why are you, good movie?"
