  1. Americans are having to hide receiving basic healthcare like vaccines (not to mention abortions.) This sounds like the underground railroad that used to run when slavery was legal to help people escape. Unbelievable. #giftArticle #populism

  11. The three structural trends shaping the AI crisis in higher education

    1. The sociotechnical transformation of AI. It’s not simply that the technology is improving, it’s that the space for reflexivity is diminishing because the burden of articulation in chatbots is going down, inline automation tools are being built into everything and wearable AI blurs the boundary between human and technology.
    2. The political economy of the bubble. Either the investment bubble will burst, ranging from a ‘correction’ through to a systemic crisis, or the big AI labs will go to IPO. In either case there will be a new attention on business fundamentals and likely many firms getting destroyed in the process. It means that current offers aren’t stable (particularly from smaller startups) and that current pricing models will without a doubt change significantly.
    3. The political economy of higher education. In the UK context there’s a financial crisis in the sector which is going to get progressively worse. If we’re moving towards a post-pandemic economy defined by ecological and economic volatility globally then higher education will be under structural attack. It will be very difficult to reopen funding settlements while degree-based models contingent on the expectation of economic advantage will rapidly struggle if degrees no longer offer any advantage

    What do I think follows from these for what universities do under present conditions?

    • We can’t lock in reliably until the post-crash/IPO pricing models are much clearer than they are now. Otherwise we’re embedding products for we can reasonably expect the prices to be ratcheted up a few years down the line.
    • The prospect for securing the existing assessment system is extremely limited in the medium term and the long term. It’s not going to be possible to separate out technological practice from non-technological practice in the manner which assessment security presupposes. This means that we urgently need to begin working towards assessment reform.
    • The manner in which we respond to the first two challenges will be shaped by the financial and political pressures the sector is under. A dash for productivity through automation risks locking in unreliable system and incurring much greater costs later, as well as further undermining assessment integrity in a way which accelerates the declining (perceived) value of our degrees. A failure to address assessment integrity (and to be seen to do so) furthermore hands ammunition to critics of the sector for whom ‘ChatGPT degrees’ will figure alongside ‘woke degrees’ as economc criticism fuses with culture war criticism.

  12. ‘The Most Radical Thing About Master of None’s Islam Episode Is That It Isn’t About Religion’: slate.com/culture/2017/05/mast. slate.com/culture/2017/05/mast ‘What’s the Monarchy for?’ bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m00 Religions? Can monarchs and or governments protect the people from the stupidity and projected popularity of celebrity death cults? Not if their rights depend on driving the finance of ecocide. Defenders of Empire’s faith, masters of none!

  13. FROM ROBERT TO ADAM: ON TWO FORMS OF PARADISE

    There is no doubt – the social paradise prepared for the citizens of the Slovak Republic by Robert Fico's fourth government, and presumably hoped for by the voters of the current coalition, is within reach.

    " #Thaksin's proposal sounds good on a pamphlet, but it #needsmorework to ensure #fairness for all. The use of #publicfunds to fulfil an #unreasonable #populist #policy where only certain groups will benefit is #inappropriate. The era of #populism, in which #politicians just make big #promises without showing clear plans & a source of funding, should be over. Populist policies must come with thorough #explanations of where the money will come from"

    disgraceful that charlatan gets any airtime at all - he should be confined to GB News where he can blend in with the other fringe #populist purveyors of nonsense

    Sooner or later the #toriesOut will shake off #rightWing #populism as the political cul-de-sac it is - let us hope #labour have some years under their belt in power before the general public realise that and threaten to re-elect them

    #fartage is a bust flush, as is the #vacuumOfIntegrity

  17. 'The #CanadaFirst #mentality that characterizes so much of the #PopulistMovement here also runs deep in some of the very #unions that are the most concerned about the rise of #FarRight #politics .

    If unions are serious about understanding the appeal of #Poilievre ’s #Conservatives & #confronting the rise of #RightWing #populism within their own memberships, they also need to #reckon with their long & ongoing #history of #reinforcing #nationalism among their members.'
