If we're going to have a chance at fighting technofascism, we need cities like NYC to stop enriching the fascists via their contracts

At the August PEP meeting, 30+ parents testified against @nycschools.bsky.social contract w/ techno-fascist Larry Ellison's Oracle, & the PEP voted against it. Now its back on the agenda for the Sept. 29 meeting.

Just gonna say, the NHJ piece will be used by charter schools and segregationists to further their agenda. I know that wasn't her intention, but that is the impact. Same with the impacts for PS307-- did she think about what it would mean for the teachers/ families there now?

We asked Big Tech about AI’s fossil fuel problem. The responses were atrocious.
Responses from Microsoft, Google and Amazon raise serious questions about their stated commitments both to responsible AI and a livable planet

Is the heat feeling different there too? Parents across Italy, Canada, Poland, and the US say the same thing: this isn't the future they feared, it's the present their kids are living. Coal, oil, and gas are driving this heat, and we're done staying quiet. #OurKidsClimate #EndFossilFuels

I don’t care if you’re a parent or not. We need everyone showing up at school board meetings to make noise about AI contracts in the same way they’re doing about data centers. This is a five-alarm fire for our democracy.

Climate hushing is so obviously serving the interests of fossil fuels and big tech do not believe anyone who tells you it’s good politics- if your house is on fire you don’t sit there and refuse to call the fire department and comment on how warm the new normal is , you yell FIRE

The evidence about AI in education remains terrible as a basis for policy or practice. As schools in some places come back from summer next week (oh Scotland it's too early), here's a wee roundup on just how truly woefully AIED research has stood up and why educators shouldn't call on it 1/

The Trump Regime is banning the mention of climate change by the DOE, and we all agree this is authoritarian, right? But the mainstream news media reports on extreme weather without mentioning the words "climate change" *all the time*. Just think about that for a second. #EndClimateSilence

It is so obvious that this is a ploy to train AI on teachers work so that they can market ed tech to us to replace teachers The billionaires at the helm of these companies already embrace ai schools. Giving them free data so they can replace your members is the opposite of union leadership Randi

To the people claiming a pause on AI in schools will "leave kids behind," if we don't stop the rapid growth of AI, kids will inherit a world on fire with no food, water or breathable air. THAT is leaving kids behind. @nycschools.bsky.social should not be fueling fossil fuel expansion. Period.

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.
