- So now the EPA officially provides resources for data center developers to get around the Clean Air Act. That's nice. www.epa.gov/stationary-s...
- Just when I thought my days getting riled up about Kyrsten Sinema were over, she comes back into my life. I was reading about data center fights across the U.S. and found that Sinema, former enemy of real climate policy, has now taken to AI lobbying zeteo.com/p/kyrsten-si...
- When is enough enough? The U.S. violence against Venezuela is an indication that our society is off the rails, totally uncontrolled. I wrote a brief response on my blog discussing how we need to build back the means of controlling our rogue nation. ricknabb.medium.com/the-attacks-...
- Reposted by Dr. Nicholas RabbOver and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.
- This morning from @wsj.com. Trump admin is looking to override states regulating #AI. The contradictions from the party of States' rights are thick. Tech companies' actions are already deeply undemocratic. This techno-authoritarianism is unacceptable

- Had a fun time revisiting Heidegger to comment on AI's potential to create massive alienation through AI-driven production -- making us see the world of human creativity as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself #AI #tech #philosophy #bigtech www.instagram.com/p/DR40cuBDot2/
- Yesterday, at my university's Academic Senate, we raised critical questions to the administration about the CSU's $17m purchase of ChatGPT-Edu. This blog post contains the questions as well as lengthy context on AI and education ricknabb.medium.com/my-universit... #AI #Education #HigherEducation
- Came across this interesting article a bit late: edsource.org/2025/ai-assi... CSU used AI in a legal filing as it fights against RAs joining the Employees Union & it hallucinated a court case in its argument Embarrassing for the system pushing to be the "AI leader" in higher ed #AI #highered
- Well this article is a nightmare. When your technology is so unpopular that you have to force usage of it through firing the unwilling and hiring proponents, you have an issue. WSJ of course pushing forward the fear of retaliation on behalf of Big Tech www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-w... #AI

- An excellent example of AI bias and how it stands to influence thought & media production. This is a GenAI tool in YT Studio to help creators get ideas for videos based on previous content. It gave me "The Future of Work: Automation and Human Purpose," which I expected to be totally different 🧵
- Just read this post by @404media.co about Google hosting CBP's new app on the Play store while removing ICE tracking apps. What struck me most is how the CBP app reminded me of surveillance systems used to police Palestinians 🧵 www.404media.co/google-has-c...

- I created a list of 5 books you can read to develop more critical takes on #AI, cutting through the hype. I have my students read most of these. Take a look at the list and let me know which other books you'd recommend! www.instagram.com/p/DQp3afejL7... #BigTech #tech #critical #sociotechnical
