Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

‘Foreign experts brought to the Ministry of Economy, at a meeting’. The photo appears to depict the visit of American Assistant Secretary of Commerce Julius Klein to Ankara in November 1930 (personal collection of the author).

This article took me to unexpected places! Ostensibly about a Swiss sociologist in Turkey in the 1930s, it touches on global right-wing ideologies, the nature of Kemalism, and the politics of experts in the early republic. Open access in @conteurohistory.bsky.social 32:2.

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Mind you, this will be a coalition of the corrupt. Not that capitalism before Trump was apolitical. It just resurfaced its ugly face more strongly and openly than ever before.
