And here’s @henry nailing the key point: it doesn’t matter if so-called AI “works.” What matters is that the value of your labor goes down, and workers are pushed further into precarity.

But what *really* matters, of course, is what we collectively decide to do about that.

"Your use case is, there's a fourteen year old in an emergency room at 3 AM. English is their second or maybe fourth language. They have a battered school Chromebook or a hand-me-down Android device that was the cheapest thing on the market six years ago or a PS Vita their parents don't even realize has a web browser, and they're trying to educate themselves in the middle of the single most terrifying night they've ever experienced.

Update: after 17 sites and 11 CVs I’m pausing submissions. I need to re-focus on my lecture: https://mas.to/@markwyner/116559893895693710
