Bob Boynton

I am a professor of new media and politics. I like being ahead of the game. For example, that selfie was taken before selfies existed.

This is a wonderful, wonderful political communication. I watched and I cried. Hooray for AOC!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half.

A #GreenNewDeal is our plan for a world and a future worth fighting for.

How did we get here?
What is at stake?
And where are we going?

Please watch & share widely ⬇️

@andyguess Hi -- I have been off Twitter for a long time, but what he does with it seems interesting to watch.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@j_a_tucker Assuming the 'audience' is humans that sets a limit on paying attention to the lower costs. There are only 24 hours and one might want to spend less than that with such information. But the mix would be interesting.

@HelenMargetts Classic mid-century modern chairs for the sparrows to occupy. That's class.

@yelenamejova @IC2S2 HI

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

How long do you think it will take before it becomes embarrassing to call large language models AI?

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@djeditorialteam I have not noticed much intelligence in what is now being characterized as AI. LLM would be more appropriate since intelligence seems in short supply.

@EvelynNFarkas @frontlinepbs Why is the word protest not appropriate? If mutiny it was an awfully weak mutiny. They stopped before it even got started good.

@HelenMargetts @LordsCommsCom The text used in these computer programs need much more attention. Copyright is an obvious matter. But the information/values embedded is a lot more important.

@chrislhayes If you cannot get the votes you deserve what you get -- ignored.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@HeerJeet Checks and balances mean you operate with appropriate force. You do have to have the guts to do it or they will ignore you senators should note.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@imillhiser @davekarpf They depend on congress for their budget. If it went to zero they decide they are accountable.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@maya_sen The appropriate response is -- if you cannot find time to talk with us we will find we are too busy to appropriate a budget for you.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@dfreelon None the apples are for sale. This is the US after all.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@dfreelon @AnnenbergPenn Definitely congrats. That is terrific.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@claesdevreese So, do you think one could do it via zoom? 🙃

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@LOLGOP @davekarpf I hope he gives up on trying to charge large sums for research use of the tweets.

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@Pranavmalhotra8 Thanks for the news/recommendation

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

@davekarpf Right on -- but only after he destroys Twitter

[Bob Boynton @bobboynton]

It really is a horror given how completely irrelevant it is except for killing us and our children and our friends.
