As higher ed institutions pay tech companies millions to provide students and faculty access to custom AI-powered tools, some faculty in Colorado and California are pushing back.
this article is a few things: it outlines what i mean by palliative political ecology; it's processing grief through writing (and sharing it); and it's an attempt to write in a way that ai cannot (easily) replicate.
