PhD-level intelligence (derogatory)

[Peter Raleigh @PetreRaleigh]

I gotta be honest and say I was nowhere near prepared for how many people apparently want to live like this

@liviadrusilla90 @Sturgeons_Law decade. you get it

[Lizzie Kumar | lizz-iek @ bsky @ziebrah]

@liviadrusilla90 @Sturgeons_Law you really don't see the connection between the past decide of culture war attacks of "i can't believe they give PhDs in these junk departments to these woke freaks", and what the administration is doing to our academic institutions?

when even ann coulter is going "hey that seems a little authoritarian"

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

Unlike many millennials, Stephen Miller's brush with downward mobility came early, thanks to his parents' woes in the roaring 90s.

But sociology only explains so much; it's hard to escape the sense there was something fundamentally malevolent about Miller https://t.co/b8ybWSn3e9

How I sleep knowing that AI will never be able to sufficiently understand Hegel and Adorno because dialectics and negativity are incompatible with its hardwired Aristotelian logic. AI is literally unable to process contradiction.

CMU's Engineering & Public Policy Dept has a tenure-track opening in AI & public policy!! EPP is interested in both *policy for AI* and *AI for policy*

If you're in CS, it's a SUPER exciting opportunity to use ML methods for real-world impact and learn from a dept that's done so for decades

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?

I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.

"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...

Our members aren’t falling for anti-union scare tactics 😤 Read more responses to the Provost’s message https://t.co/Nkn7KvAMGL from workers who aren’t convinced because THEY CAN’T PAY THEIR BILLS on Stanford’s wages!

[Eric Lee @EricLeeAtty]

MIT suspends student & bans student publication for article opposing Gaza genocide, claims article supports "terrorism."

Read this statement from my client Prahlad Iyengar detailing the facts of this chilling attack on free speech. Now more than ever we must defend 1st Am!

Yesterday, Provost Jenny Martinez and Vice Provost of Student Affairs Stacey Bent sent an email intended to discourage our Nov. 12 strike.

Let’s see what our members had to say about it! #stanfordgwu #strikeready #unionstrong

[Lizzie Kumar | lizz-iek @ bsky @ziebrah]

actually kind of helpful that the tech billionaires have gone mask-off. liberal software engineers who have been working at companies like "ah well at least it's being run by democrats, probably not evil" look again!

[Sasha Costanza-Chock @schock]

Hey tech workers. If you're asked to work on systems to support mass deportations, fuck those systems up as much as you can. Drag it out. Whistle blow. Leak. Shut it down.

[Lizzie Kumar | lizz-iek @ bsky @ziebrah]

@mattyglesias giving up entirely on trans rights and climate change? great idea. that’ll be a real winner with young people!

[Lizzie Kumar | lizz-iek @ bsky @ziebrah]

@davidshor @markos did you really just post chatgpt results as numerical evidence for something

[Lizzie Kumar | lizz-iek @ bsky @ziebrah]

yes. let's open this can of worms today. why not

[John Ganz @lionel_trolling]

im sure somebody who understands math is gonna set me straight but it seems to me like probabilities can only apply to repeatable events, which an election is not

[Willie Agnew | [email protected] @willie_agnew]

I'm on the job market for tt faculty positions! I conduct research to resist harmful tech, data and AI and empower communities to imagine and build better data and AI futures. Please let me know if there are any positions I might be a good fit for!
