friendly reminder: ai being pushed so hard and so vehemently into education is not because "this future is inevitable and we have to adapt"
it's because companies have invested billions into this technology and they need everyone to use it to make a profit.

In all seriousness, how do I bring my Twitter engagement back up bc it was literally vital for getting funded. Do I just have to dive back into hardcore tweeting again?

But actually it's interesting to consider how astronomers told Native Hawaiians that they had to accept the Thirty Meter Telescope on their land because it counted as progress but don't like it so much when Elon Musk tells them this about satellite constellations in low-earth orbit 🔭
Planned satellite constellations may swamp future orbiting telescopes
Planned orbital observatories would see satellites cross nearly all of their images.

The thing about pre-compliance is that it’s going to look a lot like making rational choices of harm reduction to avoid targeting in the short run.
Dropping the most vulnerable groups from protective orgs in the name of preservation for the larger group is an example of this.
