Maybe if US science education wasn’t such a shambles, more Americans would be qualified for these jobs. And we should want the best and brightest in the world to come here. But JD and his ilk know that keeping people uneducated will keep them compliant.

That’s (a) capitalism and (b) not a thing.

In some circles, eating vegetables is considered a sign of weakness or unmasculinity. My husband works with a lot of people like this. It’s…strange.

A few months back they were mocking Talarico for eating a turkey leg at the Texas State Fair, then they mocked him for having a perfectly normal potato egg and cheese breakfast taco, and now he’s a vaygan?

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."

Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

I’m generally reluctant to reduce to individual psychology what are clearly deep systemic problems in our society and economy. That said, this guy is a straight-up lunatic.

These pro-AI whiners can't fathom why everyone's so hostile on Bluesky. This is a knowledge-worker bar. You couldn't go into a steelworker bar and brag about outsourcing their jobs. Why would you expect a warm welcome here? Plus, you're always bragging about ending life on earth.

Some sacrifices are too profound for words. On 9/11, the men and women of the FDNY showed us what extraordinary courage looks like — answering the call when our city needed them most.

Mayor Mamdani, FDNY Commissioner Bonsignore and other officials stand with their hands over their hearts. In front of them, portraits of fallen FDNY members blow in the wind

Idiot, racist Trump is talking about eugenics. Eugenics (a phony science) gave us the Holocaust, slavery, and countless other sins against humanity and decency. I also believe in blood. All humans have blood and it’s all the same. What a nightmare.

3/3 Boas’s arguments about racial categorization/explanations & the comparative method (as is STS symmetry principle) is relevant. You don’t get to blame universal/deterministic nature until you can rule all else out b/c society/culture are almost always locally more determining of specific forms

Hello, human geneticist here. There is no scientific basis for attempts to define people in terms of “good” or “bad” genes - these are discredited views in service of racist ideologies. For consensus & concerns of experts in our field, see e.g. this 2020 statement from @geneticssociety.bsky.social:
