The ChatGPT-driven disruption of education is often presented, including in today’s viral NYMag piece, as a surprise event for which ed workers were caught unprepared This ignores dynamics & decisions that, in some cases, go back decades, without which we could’ve metabolized ChatGPT competently 🧵
"As the disruption has mounted, many college and university presidents have kept silent. But unions representing higher ed employees have stepped up to the plate (...) Union leaders say they are filling a void in an existential fight for higher ed’s future." @insidehighered.com

They promise good paying jobs assembling cell phones at factory plants while they aggressively oppose: 1) increase minimum wage. 2) right of workers to unionize. It’s dystopian. And it’s a bunch of lies. Don’t fall for this.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.
