This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

As these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused.
So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.

It's important to remember that Kristallnacht was a political disaster for the Nazis. It was November of 1938, five full years after they'd taken power, three years since they made it illegal for Jews to own businesses or property, or to marry an "Aryan."

Aldous Huxley said, rightly, that everyone's memory is their private literature. What he forgot to tell us, perhaps because it went without saying once, is that for memory to be literature, it has to be cultivated.
No one cultivates such things anymore. They drain their memories for entertainment.
