i think this is an important point - not just the way ai coding tools can affect an individual programmer, but the way it interrupts a social practice / a community of people making software

This man would have hated actual Luddites, who would have laughed his knits off out of the market

HARD. AGREE.

At this year’s DICE Awards, Ghost of Yōtei VA @erikaishii.bsky.social used their platform to demand that video game workers are treated fairly and with respect.

If you want to be part of our fight to build a better industry, reach out and get connected with an organizer.

Congratulations, Erika! 💪

Started sketching out historical revisionism (asa retconned fanfic) in which my protagonist and Akhenaten have Tension in Amarna

It's like I have a CS degree and used to work at Google or something

Gone are the days when “cloud” as a metaphor could hide the material impacts of data centers, so now they are sold with AI hype.

Please god let this end the funniest possible way

I wrote down a bunch and will share!

I mean this all tracks, right? It's all trans objectification?

And of course, thank you to @vauhinivara.bsky.social for organizing and the @authorsguild.org for sponsoring.

I'm very thankful to Vauhini for framing the panel around resistance, rather than have to wade through the "but what about all the good things about AI?"

Picture of a panel in a conference center. There is a dias with a black curtain at the front, and a gray podium. Behind the dias sits Carmen Maria Machado, a fair-skinned femme wearing glasses with dark hair, Umair Kazi, a brown masc with dark hair, Alex Hanna, a brown butch trans woman with short brown hair, and Vauhini Vara, a brown woman with long black hair wearing a red blouse.

There were 250 people in the audience, at the biggest available room for our #awp26 panel, Resisting AI in Writing and Teaching.

It was invigorating; hearing about how writing instructors are pushing back against their institutions was inspiring. Thanks to my co-panelists Carmen and Umair.

Maybe stop making TikToks and doing AI crimes

Next @vauhinivara.bsky.social proposition: “the future workforce will be dominated by A.I., and students should be prepared.”

@alexhanna.bsky.social: “A.I. is not inevitable! You don’t have to work with shit. We don’t need A.I. literacy, we need information literacy.”
