I wish more academic folks on the left with strong anti-racist views would sign this too.
This is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it.
We're at a crossroads: if we can't uphold academic freedom even for those whose views are despicable, we won't agree on anything else.

Oldest trick in the book - privatization of profits, socialization of losses (while describing ‘socialism’ as the purest form of evil of course).

This article is a very useful reframing of the tired “Europe falling behind in tech” whinge.
Europe has actually build the foundations for socially useful tech, for decades.
What it has not done is attempt to create Empires by extracting cash from that work.

@jenniferwalshe.bsky.social This is really great !
I wrote a piece for @irishtimes.com about OpenAI’s short story. I feel if we don’t make a concerted effort as humans to help people of all ages gain literacy around AI-generated content, we have no chance at being able to have a consensus reality. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
Jennifer Walshe: OpenAI’s short story about grief has critics in floods of tears or outrage. They’re all missing the point
Judging this story as I’d judge a short story published in The Stinging Fly or the Winter Papers is the wrong approach to take. Reading AI-generated stories demands a new type of literacy
