What's happening? Well, I'm recruiting a PhD candidate, that's what! If you (will soon) hold an MA degree and want to work on research about public perceptions of political parties and party persuasion, then this may be of interest to you. See the ad:

See, political theory does pay!

[The Philadelphia Inquirer @PhillyInquirer]

Amy Gutmann, former president of the University of Pennsylvania, got a nearly $23 million payout in her final year.

But that’s not all. In 2020, she also got a $3.7 million home loan from the university at a .38% interest rate.

twitter was not meant to make fun of the same person for the same thing this many days in a row, one of you needs to take one for the team and post a 40-tweet thread about how it's abusive to let your child wear shoes

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

One saving grace here is that @taibbi and @weiss are gonna be on this like flies on shit and they’ll get the whole story out.

I can empathize, I too have trouble writing string-matching code

@ElonJet @waybackmachine @elonmusk @JxckSweeney Actually, it flags the Github URL as harmful when the letters are all capitals but allows the same URL when it's spelled in lowercase, even though they go to the same site, because Twitter is a well-oiled machine. https://t.co/h8p6fI0AFd

The solution is more oral examinations!

Students present an argument for 15 minutes and then have to defend it in Q&A.

An adaptive exam form where AI can only get you so far.

@mvinaes I raised this possibility in a meeting yesterday and I'm not sure there were many converts.

[Joshua Robison @JRob617]

In other words: Lau and Redlawsk (2001) but for AI?

[Joshua Robison @JRob617]

How much of the 'chat bot produces impressive results, omg graded work is dead" on Twitter right now stemming from the questions being asked by people with expansive topic knowledge asking precise questions informed by that knowledge?

[Joshua Robison @JRob617]

Still struggling to understand how Google can't get enough people to sign up for YouTube premium but Twitter is going to get enough people to sign up for this shithole?

[Situational Bearrorist Yolo Vision Fund LLC @yoloption]

Former #SpaceX employee explains that $TWTR is a shit show because it doesn't have an intermediate layer of management that knows how to manage Elon to protect the company from him. Sounds pretty accurate. $TSLA $TSLAQ

@M_B_Petersen Congratulations to me for being the person with the most ever uses of the word "gullible" in a Tweet

[Joshua Robison @JRob617]

@M_B_Petersen So we're gullible because we think other people are gullible who are in turn gullible because they think we're gullible but in the end we're not gullible?
