“African Tech Workers Rising is organising for better wages, mental health protections and professional standards in Kenya and beyond. We are doing this because AI is not magic.

@alexhanna.bsky.social I enjoyed your presentation at LMU today on AI. In particular, I loved the notion of ridicule as a tool for resisting AI. So much of what we are seeing is just silly, let's just call it out! #civicsoftech

I received a desk reject for a journal article... it reads like it was written by Chat-GPT. It's frustrating because they write that I don't have a theoretical framework, but there is a whole section titled theoretical framework. Same thing for analytic plan. The review system is broken.

I STAND on feeling like this much advertisement should be illegal. It cannot be good for our eyes or for our mental health. It’s just too much.
