Critical refusal and critical literacies have been lampooned in ed tech circles as "burying your head in the sand." In fact, they reflect awareness of the full spectrum of options in responding to emerging tech and the commercial products being pushed on schools.
"Of course, we have to teach our students about AI technologies. Teaching about AI technologies should be just like how we teach ‘no smoking’ or the causal links between lung cancer and cigarette smoke; yet, we do not teach students how to roll cigarettes and smoke them." zenodo.org/records/2008...

Also, this. I can see that cadre of writing studies scholars inuring the field to particular types of ethics and literacies that do not account for power and the machinations of Big Tech.
There’s no A.I. “literacy”. There is only power, to either rebuild or eradicate commonly shared knowledge production. They haz it. Remains to be seen if we haz some too.

"I am for all sorts of literacies, except for the one where one reads books."

"I am for all sorts of literacies, except for the one where one reads books."
The “literacies“ framework is as intellectually bankrupt as polarization right now. We will keep using it because when you’ve got one hammer and the NSF social science funding has dried up everything looks like a nostalgic managerial class nail.
"To fight back, Americans need to learn the counterspy techniques of C.I.A. officers: using multiple sources to check information; testing those sources regularly for reliability; never getting complacent and trusting one source without thinking."
The number of dangers and the amount of work AI is already causing and will cause us is astounding.
Yet we keep getting advice on how to make it work for us. FU if that is your advice.

I met an elem music tchr who had been learning Pashto because she had so many sts who spoke it. That was after learning some Arabic. Her classroom was so beautiful. And I don’t know if she’s even able to do any of the creative, purposeful work she has been doing. #literacies
