Sorry, but this is just a fully radicalised perspective, and anyone espousing it should be going through Prevent not advising it.

The real problem isnt chatGPT, its that universities (in the UK at least) are not genuinely invested in good academic standards. They just want to get students through the program, and chatGPT actively helps them in that it can be a lifeboat for students who don't attend or engage with the material

Going through the For Some Women decision, and something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the court took it upon itself to define lesbians in a way that excludes some cis lesbians and includes some straight trans men.

It's happening - I'm on strike next week. The university shouldn't get rid of 170 permanent academics and countless more casual lecturers, they shouldn't hold back national pay rises, they shouldn't cut taught hours, they shouldn't force classes online. But here we are

I’m always proud of skill issue but coming up to one year of it and I think we’ve written the best one yet. We’ve found a voice, a niche, and a way to make it work for us outside of generating capital. Sub here if you like video game, rave music, and how it’s all politics skillissue.substack.com
