the thing about trying to rebrand AI as a "tool"/"normal technology" is that such things are also bad when they are used in social relations of worker suppression and dispossession. in this sense, yes, AI is in continuity with the fucking loom, but not in a good way.

I've been really blessed by academics who've been willing to do guest appearances in my classes despite my relative lack of dept resources (e.g. $). So, I'm not exactly an expert on anything, but FYI I'm always happy to do this for you if it's something in my wheelhouse.

insanely useless Q, but can anyone think of just a platonic example of an extremely coherent, well written, well argued scholarly article for a general audience as like, an example of the genre? perhaps on a poem or other "small" object the students could also read for 1 day?

fascists and right-wingers got really mad about this on the other site, but here's the film list for my class "Hollywood on Hollywood," an introductory history of Hollywood told through movies about movies

if you're ever in a situation where lots of people are passing out (supervillain gassed the bank, etc.), pretend to be passed out too. there's no downside. you can always pretend you woke up early once you've had time to assess the situation.

working on a class I'm calling "Hollywood on Hollywood," an introductory history of Hollywood cold through movies about movies. Singin' in the Rain, Sunset Blvd, The Stunt Man, The Player, Mulholland Dr., Nope are all musts, but would love to hear folks' more obscure favs.
