Today, @DAIR@dair-community.social is releasing the Luddite Lab Resource Hub. The hub hosts case studies, resources, and political education for unions, labor organizations, and workers who want to fight โ€œAIโ€ and automation at work. https://labor.dair-institute.org

    As part of this Hub, we feature case studies from three initial labor partners detailing their strategies of resistance: National Nurses United, the New York Times Tech Guild, and the Ziff Davis Creators Guild. From these case studies, we learned about the diversity of tactics available to workers in the fight against AI at work and how these struggles are fundamentally tied to the broader fight for worker power, agency and dignity. https://labor.dair-institute.org/case-studies

    @alex@dair-community.social This is great, thank you and everyone involved! I love that Luddites are referenced here in the context of labor organizing, and not as an anti-technology movement as they're often portrayed. @DAIR@dair-community.social

    @alex@dair-community.social @DAIR@dair-community.social This rules so hard. If there were a zine 1-pager of the key points, I would print and fold them and cover the office with them.

  • @alex@dair-community.social @DAIR@dair-community.social this needs a t-shirt to spread the message. Something along the lines of "This is what a Luddite looks like".

    @alex@dair-community.social @DAIR@dair-community.social Hopefully this guide will be used by some of the city and county governments that are talking out both sides of their mouth, banning AI data centers within their boundaries but spending taxpayer money on "AI tools" for their police & other departments and pushing employees to 'incorporate [LLMs] into their workflows'. Who do these NIMBYs expect to bear the costs of their trend-chasing AI usage?
