SocArxiv @socarxiv.bsky.social just released an AI policy, which I had a hand in crafting.
@phillewis.bsky.social sums up the spirit of the policy well.

15% cuts across faculty and staff at The New School 😢
Take control of AI at your uni! @aaup.org now compiles guidance and tools for artificial intelligence, including working group reports, bargaining and union resources, auditing and public records request tools, and sample syllabus language. Please share widely: www.aaup.org/issues-highe...
"First, we vaccinated the bats" is an excellent sci fi world building premise
It's a community school in Brooklyn. They get all meals free and they draw from about 10 different cultural traditions for meals every month. The Black Panthers have a bigger daily impact on her education than any tech company and I seriously hope it stays that way.
Many of the teachers at my daughter's NYC elementary school uses the flat screen TVs they were given a few years ago as bulletin boards, and the hallways are decorated with students' handwritten essays. I love it there.
I have been fighting with our ISP for months over bad service. But I've learned things. Did you know Netflix streaming is so compressed that it can run on 4mbps download speed???
omg you know what, iit was @erinbartram.bsky.social!!! I should've known. I found the piece, yay!

I am looking for a quote I saw ages ago - I'm having trouble finding it again. It was something about how burnout is partly the phantom limb pain of where your coworkers used to be (reflecting deep staffing cuts to maximize profits that then leave more work for the 'survivors,' plus the grief).
Oh shit, Wiretap Mother was there all along and I left it on the table!
you ever sometimes think about how Frankenstein was a cautionary tale about instrumentalizing life by boiling it down to only its parts, and withholding love and the ability to learn in a safe environment, ultimately undermining personhood?
I think about that sometimes.
oh cool we’re doing the Wire Mother experiment again, but on all of society
Spending today, in part, making zines about an AI girlfriend forum reacting to the end of the AI bubble (+ thus cheap compute + thus their girlfriends getting deleted).
I like my job!
Afterlives of slavery are manifest in the global distribution of labor and infrastructure that is used to harvest human brainpower and convert it into “AI”
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
It's always "AI can do art for disabled people!"
and never "we need to provide inclusive art education and appropriate assistive devices!"
Oh absolutely fuck them using Susan Leigh Star to gaslight the writers they impersonated.

I just gave a whole talk yesterday arguing, yes opposing AI in the classroom IS moral. Any ideas who might want to quickly publish it??
Just repeating to myself "the university system is not a house of straw to buckle in the storm" over and over again this week

Partner said the package "looked like it came from the fabric factory," which, yes it did lol
Most excited for a pink/green/cream/black/blue/brown stripe? plaid? patterned fabric. $6/yard so I got enough to make a matching dress for Ms Four and flowy summer pants/top set for myself 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Fun conference today, but after one day talking about AI for ten hours, I'm ready for ten days working through my shelf full of Indian handloom cotton fabric with my phone turned off
On the other hand, the most VALIDATING thing about my work these days are the student applications I receive for my lab twice a year 💓
