Shockingly bad statement from Drawn and Quarterly, manages to insult academics generally
Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · last mo.I think, on reflection and reading back through it, that this statement (which is, again, theoretically on behalf of Tillie Walden) actively makes a complicated and messy situtation significantly worse. Excellent PR work, man

hope you don't mind but i had chatgpt generate some dirty talk for us. Hmm alright it says here you're a little slut
I hate to say it, but the colleagues positioning themselves to be pro AI in teaching and curriculum, are probably also positioning themselves to be administrators, and probably aren’t thinking about or don’t care how it will affect teaching, learning, or the careers of those around them.
Hahaha You expect to stop the son of the man who wrote Politics and Class Formation in Uganda published by Monthly Review Press in 1976?!?! HE RUNS THIS TOWN!!!
Seems like it should be a slam-dunk lawsuit. Double-blind peer review is not the normal standard for articles/books humanities and social sciences. Funny that it should be suddenly demanded after the fact for the junior scholar who is critical of Israel trinitonian.com/2026/04/09/j...

The circle of death is: Cut faculty (or non-replace) so you offer fewer classes so fewer people enroll so you cut faculty so you offer fewer classes so fewer people enroll so then the market has spoken.

people will never feel like the economy is good when they can see complete ruin as a realistic possibility in their immediate future, even from a fairly secure present.
Colin Spacetwinks@spacetwinks.bsky.social · 4mo agoone thing about all the arguing about money is it doesn't account for *precarity*. say you really are getting enough money, more than before even. GOOD money. more than just matching rent and food increases, better. does any part of you feel like this will *last*? that it's *stable*?
Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

Great question! It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider. The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

I think we’re reaching a new, even worse turn of the Ai cycle, in which students who have been exposed to so much Ai in their short conscious lives are already imitating the sound of it, even when not actually using it
I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.
