A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

trying to go watch your kid play a JV soccer match will have you sounding like Allen Iverson. as in, playing on the baseball diamond because the football team has practice. NOT a game, practice!

Universities squeeze billions of dollars of profit out of “student athletes,” often destroying their health in the process. In the last few years those athletes finally started to get a share of the profits so of course they had to be reigned in. Meanwhile nobody is regulating the diarrhea lettuce.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I feel like the fact that America used to have an EV national champion whose CEO destroyed the company and committed huge sums of his wealth to support the destruction of US green industrial policy raises a lot of weird and difficult questions about green industrial policy

I hate it so much. This can happen to you too. A year ago, almost everyone doubted this would happen. I had faculty at other schools telling me I was hysterical. (Irony!) Watch for the installation of right wing figureheads without an academic background. Watch for assaults on faculty governance.

For long-term residents of DC, there has never ever been anything on this scale of graft ever before. Trump 1 veterans have set up lobbying firms that do nothing more than funnel 500K to the right pockets to facilitate meetings without which routine business with the federal govt no longer happens.

Today is the first day of school for DC Public Schools. Nearly 100,000 children in DC are returning to school today with armed soldiers in our neighborhoods, harassing young people and working as an extension of federal agents. DC students need the #NationalGuardOutNow.
National Guard soldiers cross a residential street on a sunny morning. They are walking past a school building with playground equipment in front of it.

It’s important to be clear that the truth value of a subject does not become debatable just because somebody wants to debate. Ether. Wandering wombs. Devils in red heads, the cursed left handed. Flat earth. Phrenology. Humors. Race science. “Debate me bro!” It’s fine for the answer to be: no.

Teachers don't need an LLM to create packets with a map and a periodic table. They don't need to "create" them at all in any meaningful sense of the word. These materials already exist in vast quantities, and it's beyond my comprehension why it would occur to anyone to use an LLM to replicate them

I’m seeing a lot of people hang their hopes and all their attention on the midterms. Electoral organizing matters, but full-time spectatorship won’t build the power we need. I wrote about checking in with yourself about where your attention is going and what you’re doing with it.

Resisting Total Electoral Absorption
It may be worth checking in with ourselves, from time to time, about what, if anything, our attention is cultivating.

Looks like if you're one of the 300miliion who ever took a MOOC with Coursera or Udemy, your data just got turned into assets for Andrew Ng's latest "AI native" edtech "personalized learning" scheme, which Coursera just invested $100m in. investor.coursera.com/news/news-de...
Our strategic investment in LearnVector has the potential to be a force multiplier for our growth. Andrew's unmatched AI expertise pairs his agentic AI with our platform and assets that turn learning into validated mastery — a clear competitive advantage that we believe can accelerate our business and expand the impact we deliver for individuals and enterprises around the world.
— Greg Hart, CEO, Coursera 

Source https://learnvector.ai/ Building on the broader reach we’ve gained through Udemy, this investment reflects our conviction that AI can help grow the market itself by making learning more continuous, more personal, and more embedded in people’s daily lives. In other words, we’re focused on creating a much bigger opportunity for learning overall.

As LearnVector develops new AI-native learning experiences, we’re exploring powerful ways to combine those advances with Coursera’s unique strengths: trusted content, insights from more than 300 million learners, and one of the world’s largest ecosystems of university and industry partners.

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

The rape of Palestinian detainees is so commonplace that it’s no longer hidden. It’s filmed, joked about, and celebrated in parliament. This is no mistake; it’s core to Israel’s colonial project.

" I don't give a fuck about your war or your president." I wish I could say the same, Snake. I do care about these things. I'm angry and I'm  disgusted but I can't say I don't give a fuck.
