Il premio "nobel" per l'economia è una farsa ideologica!
Ottimo pezzo che spiega come l'economia neoclassica sia un progetto ideologico sotto spoglie "neutrali", perché la crescita infinita è impossibile e indesiderabile, e cosa fare come provare a salvare la disciplina economica ⤵️

Il Nobel per l'economia è nato per imporre il primato del pensiero neoliberista proprio durante una stagione di rivolte, crisi e contrattacco del lavoro

In 2010, anti-copyright activist Aaron Swartz hanged himself after being prosecuted to the full extent of the law for making copyrighted academic publications freely available. Today, academic publishers are insisting those copyrights be lifted to feed the corporate AI slop machine.

Eleven counts. The first two both invoking terrorism. The ruling class is treating killing one of their own, with the motive being related to the evils of our health care system, as a fundamentally different act than if you or I were to be murdered.
Breaking: A Manhattan grand jury has indicted Luigi Mangione on first-degree murder, second-degree murder as a crime of terrorism, and nine other offenses linked to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

I understand calling for individualized responses or even mass resistance to AI in academia. It's important to do what we can individually. But if unionization isn't part of the conversation, then we're not giving ourselves the best chance to win. Unions are the best institutions to help control AI

💯 As I tell my students, having AI write your philosophy paper is like sending a robot to the gym for you and expecting to reap the health benefits.
Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

Israel has invaded Syria.
The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation.
A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to.

Israel has invaded Syria - with Western complicity
This is a blatant land grab - and an attempt to hobble any new Syrian government - by an Israeli state cheered on by Western politicians and media.
