"AI is not simply a discursive formation that stands as a ‘common sense’ foregone conclusion, it also obfuscates large-scale, transnational coordination of resources, labor & people who make up the infrastructures that are required for artificial intelligence." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
you are so valid 🫶🏻
I have a late February birthday and I've decided I'm just going to celebrate it later in the summer hahaha
@emmamay.bsky.social, Serita Sargent, and I analyzed the 2023 SAG AFTRA contract on AI to inform bargaining around AI across sectors as a lever for more meaningful worker control technology in the workplace. Out today in Big Data & Society

New article by Britt Paris, Serita Sargent and me in Big Data & Society
We discuss collective bargaining around AI and how organized labor can meaningfully push back on—and even refuse—the pervasive narrative of AI inevitability

I worked with Shannon as an undergrad at Barnard! She's lovely and it's great to hear she's now at the labor archives at NYU (:
yes—"AI literacy" is just another way of manufacturing consent for stuff that no one asked for!

finally had time to read this great new article from Defector about the top-down push for AI in higher ed!
it also links to our AAUP report on ed tech and its impact on academic labor, which you can read here: www.aaup.org/reports-publ...
UC faculty and the @aaup.org demand the end of mandatory surveillance software use across the UC system. The future belongs to people, not to big brother!

those videos of people getting sucked in by corn silos are terrifying!
the wool sweaters and long slip dresses from uniqlo are great ~layering pieces~ for work stuff in a pinch. the realreal is also good for nice sweaters and tailored blazers, although sizing can be kinda iffy!

Thank you so much for your interest in the panel—your work has greatly shaped my thinking! (:

one of my favorite places to work is the cluttered basement of the Jefferson Market Library—it has interesting exhibitions about the neighborhood's history, and I really enjoy how you can find random relics from the library stored seemingly haphazardly throughout the room
Join the Fight The issue is not whether you personally use Microsoft CoPilot to help with slogging through emails, and it’s not about punishing students. Rather, it is about the value of your work, being paid appropriately for it, the importance of learning and intellectual curiosity, being able to have control over your working conditions, and caring about the future of participation in a democratic society.
