One reason big tech developers seem so keen to set up data centres in Australia apepars to be that the social license for these centres in the US has evaporated

Just as bad in Aus. Vice-Chancellor/President on a min of a cool mill. Some even have second jobs. Depressing

I did I hallucinate but there was like within-grant fellowships right? In the draft? researchers could have like two years of fellowship time?

What a joke. How many stories have we heard of researchers on fellowships who were turfed out once the fellowship ended!

“…its most severe and widespread heatwave on record—an oppressive force made hotter by carbon pollution and less bearable by repeated failures to prepare for it.” rare capsule description acknowledging both human-caused pollution and human-caused inaction?

Unflinching refusal to use or allow the use of A.I. in reading & writing should be the uncontroversial, default position of teachers from K-12 to colleges & universities. If our administrators tell us we "have to" we tell them to eff off. We will not kill the planet's water for systemic plagiarism.

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

Thrilled to see this paper finally out in #BJS, which delves into the work of getting work on project-based platforms. It's hard work! Often invisible, affective and always gendered #Sociology @bjsociology.bsky.social

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.
