This one is for the educators out there, especially those wrestling with AI in the classroom. “The Digital Sugar Rush: AI as the Refined Sweetener of Social Learning” by Dr. Flux of CU Boulder. So much gold in this talk! @fluxinflux.bsky.social youtu.be/wceud79nRz4

I am flabbergasted that we need a whole bunch of (very good) context to justify “Don’t get involved/sleep with students in your department.” Again, I’m not looking for people to be altruistic (though good), serving your own interests works—the phrase “Don’t shit where you eat” exists for a reason

What kind of prosecutor questions (really , cross-examines) a witness without a firm understanding of the facts and what the witness essentially has to say?

Reposting this with alt text: Near as I can tell, you can't see a home Atlanta Hawks game from section 109 row 1 - the rows in section 109 are lettered not numbered. Not the case for the DC-area UMD Terps, who Catlin Clark put 38 on during the Feb 3 game. Their 109 has numbered rows.

Yes, Mr. President, surely this will bring down the price of food, gas, and housing. Definitely reopen the Strait of Hormuz as well. I feel like there should be a Dem ad about how Americans are struggling, but the President/GOP is worried about the name they call the tech that threatens jobs.

$5k for each of ~250M adults in the United States comes to $1.25T. For the love of God, if we have that just sitting around, why wouldn’t it be going towards this “debt crisis”?

Every time I start to accept AI a little bit I see a story of our bullshit capitalistic society using AI to do something completely distasteful and it makes me run in the complete opposite direction. Between this and clips of sad people with AI relationships/“families”, I hate everything today.

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.

Being military, I wonder how many voted for the current administration? Doesn’t make this right, but my attitude right now is that until people are forced to deal with consequences of their choices rather than hypotheticals that things might veer away from the sheer lunacy we’re living under.
