Great to hear Rowena Harper exposing the uncomfortable truths about the social, environmental and governance impacts of #genAI in her #HERDSA2025 keynote. How can #highered be proactive and lead in critical education, rather than reactive to corporate interests?
I'm so happy to see this out today, this was a truly fulfilling project with a great team.

"All that was left was to strive for normality and wealth, in competition with all the other unwell workers". A favourite line from this excellent book. Highly recommended!
Robert Chapman@drrobertchapman.bsky.social · 2y agoComrades! Now the audiobook's finally out, I have five codes for free audible copies of *Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism*. If you want one just like and share/quote this post. After 48 hours I'll pick five sharers at random to send the codes to.
Controversial take alert: the idea that engaging and 'playing' with genAI, but in a scholarly way, will help turn the tide towards ethical use, comes across as both arrogant and naïve. You are still feeding an unregulated, energy-hungry beast. If you have a choice, be critical, but not complicit.
