- Reposted by Claire JacksonThe defining feature of AI today is infrastructure: the rapacious buildout of data centres; the transnational configuration of labour exploitation; the grafting of AI onto processes of capitalist accumulation.

- Reposted by Claire JacksonGonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.
- You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonIf you haven't been on X the CSAM app recently, I can tell you the first response to literally EVERY news post is 'Grok Is This True' in case you're wondering if people are gonna be influenced by a lying AI which also happens to be used by the Pentagon

- Reposted by Claire JacksonIt's kind of amazing how the worst consequence many of our most powerful people can conceive of is someone being mad at them online, to the degree that they are driven to distraction about it even in the abstract.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonGuess who is once again displaying their ability to hyperfocus on being a hater? It's me, I spent all evening writing my own compilation of all the reasons I think AI sucks so I can post it under genAI-made FB posts. Work-in-progress, suggestions welcome! www.skwinnicki.com/single-post/...
- Reposted by Claire Jacksoni hate how predictable and avoidable this shit is and yet we don't avoid it at all, because some people see the opportunity to run little authoritarian fascist domains on their phones and their eyes roll back.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonWhile reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
- Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...
- Reposted by Claire Jackson“Defending the university is not about defending the institution itself, but rather understanding the institution as a condition of possibility for other things to emerge.“
- I'm in the new look @publicbooks.bsky.social talking with @anniemcc.bsky.social, Vineeta Singh, Dan Nemser, and Rana Jaleel about higher education, how we have studied and organized around it, and what possibility lies therein.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonHaha I recently made a seven-part youtube series in exactly the same "hyperfocusing on AI hatred" spirit! Your compilation is awesome. FYI here is the reference list I put together for my video series, feel free to link to it as well if you would like (no obligation at all of course)
- Reposted by Claire Jacksonon the whole, I would not recommend “the long september 11th” as an era in which to spend one’s entire adult life
- Reposted by Claire JacksonAnd instead of seeking out our expertise on AI, which would lead us to abolish it in education, we are asked to be part of a Center of Huambities and AI (or whatever). This is how institutions neutralize dissent.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonA problem is that there are many of us who read about, research, and publish on AI (and have been doing so for years), but the university puts us on the same playing field of decision-making about it with those who have not.
- I’m gonna name it. This isn’t a case of “legitimately differing opinions.” It is blatant professorial malpractice to adopt/allow genAI (or really *any* new edtech) just b/c we are told that we must. Especially in the humanities classroom, the only “ethical use” or reasonable stance is to keep it out
- Reposted by Claire Jackson"Instead of treating AI literacy as a neutral and static skillset [the report] applies an equity lens to analyze it as a social and political construct manufactured by the power of employer expectations, media narratives, place branding, philanthropic investments, and political agendas."
- New! Anuli Akanegbu’s report “(404) Job Not Found” interrogates what it means to be perceived as “AI literate” in today’s labor market, & how those perceptions are shaping the career outcomes of Black workers who are already navigating a wide range of inequities. 1/6 datasociety.net/library/404-...
- Reposted by Claire JacksonCanada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus
- Reposted by Claire JacksonNot enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop. ICE must be abolished.
- I get asked to write a lot more letters of recommendation for med school than I do for law school or grad school so I think that means I'm basically a medical expert

- Reposted by Claire JacksonThe concession of surgeons / doctors agreeeing to do trans healthcare for the benefit of researching us has always been predatory. Jess Ting’s betrayal of the community is a nightmare but should be understood as the norm. We must take the means of production for ourselves and cut out the cis.

- Reposted by Claire JacksonJeffery Epstein collaborated with major figures in tech like Peter Thiel to target trans people, especially trans women. This thread is about how I & many others have been directly affected in the tech industry by this coordinated campaign of transphobia & hatred.

- Reposted by Claire JacksonI took a close look at the latest Department of Homeland Security AI use case inventory, which details over 200 applications across DHS component agencies, including CBP and ICE. DHS is rapidly deploying these tools in US cities, while increasingly engaging in violence and defying court orders.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonAs these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused. So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.
- Reposted by Claire JacksonIve been thinking about this post since I saw it yesterday. And about the (male) profs who told me I’d get funding cause I’m a woman, those who started relationships with their students, the one I was warned about because he asks women PhD students to sit on his knee & explain their research

- Reposted by Claire JacksonOf course there are academics in the Epstein files Academia is not a natural space for radical politics, knowledge and emancipation as many pretend it is, buoyed by reactionary moral panics It is primarily built on conservatism, hierarchies and thirst for power so this should not be surprising

- Reposted by Claire JacksonThe project to distance Epstein’s associates and collaborators from his abuse, a project which has been taken on by the likes of Ezra Klein and people at the elite institutions that enabled Epstein, is a project to prevent fully understanding why abusers get away with it and how they can be stopped
- Reposted by Claire Jacksoni think the fairest solution for everyone named in the Epstein files is to just send them all back to the island and never let them leave. and then we send in the wild dogs,
