You will be surprised to learn that I do not believe there is a “moral imperative“ to teach educators about AI.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 23h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Income isn't wealth. Companies can and do raise prices which eats away at transferred income. Actually transferring significant wealth eg landlord and business owner property would shake things up if it was really about power.

Economics is a pseudo science. When will economics accept that the environment is the economy. Harm the environment you harm the economy. How many trees burned? How much is each tree worth? How much is breathing fresh unpolluted air, and water worth?

Prof Nisreen Alwan@nisreenalwan.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m intrigued by the recent resurgence of the ‘Long Covid is not real’ nonsense we saw back in 20/21. The refusal to learn is one thing, but the dismissal of reality is another. Long Covid is too painful, too common & too present in many people’s lives to be denied. The story is hard to rewrite.
