The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

And another question for educators and anybody pushing AI hype: if you’re welcoming AI tools and platforms into schools and universities, how are you grappling with what @ruha9.bsky.social names the New Jim Code? With the acute harm these technologies are inflicting on minoritized communities?
While state officials work to craft legislation to attract these new projects, residents and community advocates say this will ramp up environmental hazards, increase utility bills, and exacerbate health disparities. Meanwhile, experts say, the economic promise of AI remains a mirage for Black communities, widening wealth gaps and displacing workers.
