Hey, friends! I put my big face in a video like the kids do! Time to join the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social and tell @mayor.nyc.gov to enact a moratorium on "A.i." in the schools! Please share - and please tell the mayor you want a moratorium! www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...
Love the energy of the advocates and especially love the extremely NYC vibe of this photo of @dianaforqueens.com and her pizza baby 🤌
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 6d agoThanks to everyone who came to the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social rally and testified at the PEP meeting AGAINST "A.i." in the public schools yesterday! Here's @dianaforqueens.com with a little pal speaking at the rally!
We officially hit 700 artists on our petition to @nycmayor with the great Dave Eggers, who agreed to sign on in this handwritten letter. He wrote back to a NYC parent who wants to see a moratorium on AI in NYC schools. See the full list of signers and become artist 701!
Big reminder, NYC! This Wednesday at 5:30 pm in Chelsea, we're rallying with the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social and @comixaction.com against "A.i." in the public schools! Come join!!! actionnetwork.org/events/ai-ou...

The tell with all of this is your kids can be taught by sex bots dressed up like John Oliver, but the tech barons send their kids to schools where they don't allow phones and there is an art AND music teacher.
Mashable@mashable.com · 3w agoAI company Realbotix is piloting STEM robots for rural schools.
As a robotics researcher, learning scientist, and author who has followed Realbotix for years, I'm compelled to do a Bluesky thread on this whole pivot that Realbotix is now trying, turning from humanoid sex robots to classroom "education" robots. Buckle up. nysfocus.com/2026/07/14/n... 🧵

I said… BRR! It’s cold in here! There must be a rent freeze in the atmosphere!
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · last mo.Some NYC news: Mamdani just won his rent freeze--one of his biggest campaign promises!
Proud to stand with the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social and @comixaction.com against "A.i." in schools. I said that "A.i." in education is a form of child abuse. Shame on anyone that tells a kid that they are less than by suggesting they generate slop instead of writing and drawing on their own.
Comix Action@comixaction.com · last mo.And here's @gregpak.net's testimony to the @council.nyc.gov AGAINST "A.i." in the public schools! Huge h/t to @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social for leading this fight! youtu.be/7-h3rPb-4G4?...
Claire Valdez is winning Hispanic precincts in NY-07 by 30 points. Hispanic voters in the district are backing the DSA and Mamdani backed candidate strongly.
We can do this here, too! AI is not inevitable and it does not belong in our schools.

I know I sound like a crazy person because we all worship cars now but I actually don’t think it should be legal to drive a vehicle with a hood taller than most women and all children in a heavily pedestrian city

The vehicles on American roads have grown larger — and they are killing thousands more pedestrians, a Times investigation found.

I’ll be there and you should be too!
