Anti-trust enforcement is important to competitors and consumers, but don't forget workers • Minnesota Reformer
Sen. John Sherman, author of the Sherman Antitrust Act, said in 1892 that a monopoly “commands the price of labor without fear of strikes, for in its field it allows no competitors.”

A newly translated collection of Pedro Lemebel’s crónicas—a Latin American hybrid combining observation, memoir, reportage, and fiction—focusses on gender-nonconforming locas living under Chile’s dictatorship and the AIDS epidemic.
Pedro Lemebel, a Radical Voice for Calamitous Times
Lemebel’s writing was entirely focussed on those living on the farthest margins of society—people escaping the norms and seen as different.

One thing that needs to get repeated until it sinks in is that “AI” does not simply function as a tool that people in power are using; it’s even more powerful as a permission structure for the destructive & extractive things they wanted to do in the first place.
Every time someone says they won’t try to use ai to replace teachers, you should put “yet” at the end of their sentence.
