"Just as we cannot define the shape of water without reference to the container in which it exists, we cannot define capitalism without reference to the society in which it operates." #amwriting #oncapitalism

@ddwitzz You're definitely not! Though people seem to think not listening to music is a badge of shame...or at least proof of just how uncool you are.

[Inara Scott @NewEnergyProf]

@AngRaymond Congratulations!

If you're feeling a bit of imposter syndrome, try this: copy your resume (leave name out and delete personal details!) into ChatGPT and ask it to write you a letter of recommendation for whatever the next job is you want. Tell it which characteristics to stress. It's awesome.

Please read, and don't fall into doomerism-as Professor Hayhoe says, every bit of warming matters and the efforts we take to mitigate temperature rise matter, even if we can't stop it or reverse the clock. #IPCC #climatechange @KHayhoe

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

@AnaKSpalding Oh, absolutely! The challenge is that there’s no natural limit once they start using it, particularly for someone juggling lots of credits, work, family, etc. Or someone doing work in a class they didn’t want to take in the first place, or feels meaningless to them.

[Inara Scott @NewEnergyProf]

Thought of the day: Yes, all of your students are using ChatGPT to complete their assignments. No, I have no idea what to do about that. Thank you.

Proud to have contributed a chapter to this fantastic book, co-authored with @AnaKSpalding, on ocean governance! #oceans #governance

Finally got up the nerve (and money) to buy an EV. Was so excited! Ford Mach-e. Battery is faulty. Can’t drive it. BRAND NEW. And the response? “Guess you can call service.” Enjoy that new car you can’t drive! @Ford #SkylineFord

It’s mind-numbing to imagine, in the era of universal video, that five police officers could participate in the brutal beating of Trye Nichols, which led to his death three days later. That their body cameras were switched on and filming… https://t.co/J89OqdRczF

Spent some quality time this morning chatting with #chatgpt about #capitalism. It's like having a conversation with a slightly out-of-touch but well-intentioned colleague who pretends to know about everything and can usually fake their way into sounding like an expert.

[Inara Scott @NewEnergyProf]

Everyone can relax now. #chatGPT

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

So, I just entered a bunch of very basic constitutional law and employment discrimination questions into ChatGPT.... they're all wrong.

@HaskellMurray @BelmontUniv @BelmontMassey @ProfessorOrozco @KKisska13 @Prof_Schuster Delighted to hear the good news!! Congratulations!

🚨🚨 new white paper! We used ChatGPT to write exams and graded them blind alongside real law students at Minnesota. ChatGPT got a C+ average and a low but passing grade in Con Law, Employee Benefits, Tax, Torts. 1/5 https://t.co/sN8uW4qtnR

Just as we cannot define the shape of water without reference to the container in which it exists, we cannot define #capitalism without reference to the society in which it operates.

[Inara Scott @NewEnergyProf]

If you're interested in #capitalism or #sustainability or both (#sustainablecapitalism?) please check out my latest work on SSRN: Defining the Undefinable (From Sustainable Capitalism: Contradiction in Terms or Essential Work for the Anthropocene?) https://t.co/D9TlItLswc

[Inara Scott @NewEnergyProf]

Capitalism will always create contradictory understandings and experiences because capitalism does not exist in a vacuum—it absorbs, shapes, and is shaped by its social, economic, and political context.
