Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.

Appalachia & the South's not the west so how is it supposed to be Wild West? That just irks me because that's the region I was raised in whose culture I know best. Sounds like they're making up a culture out of scraps of myth.

The invisible labor of people admin, being an asst, & caretaking, is like being Penny + Brain the Dog in Inspector Gadget. The inspector never has a clue 80% of the time his ass is managed - and saved - by Penny and Brain.
He's allowed to do his job without ever needing to thinking of the details

Alt: Cartoon opening to the INSPECTOR GADGET series. Inspector Gadget is crossing a rope strung between the rooftop of two buildings. But they way he crosses it: Brain the Dog has two footplates on posts that he balances Gadget on as Gadget takes each step, while Brain is doing the actual highwire balancing and crossing act.
