The idea that people want AI oversight to happen "all of a sudden" ignores years of research, warnings, and policy efforts. The delay hasn’t been a lack of awareness; it’s been because of years of industry lobbying against regulation, political resistance, and inaction.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

#OTD in 1773, Phillis Wheatley's "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral" was published. Born in W. Africa, sold into slavery at age 7, she is one of the best-known poets in 18th-C America and the first Black women to publish a book of any kind. #LitSky #BookSky #Poetry

Open antique book showing the engraved frontispiece portrait of Phillis Wheatley on the left page. The right page reads: “MEMOIR AND POEMS OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY, A NATIVE AFRICAN AND A SLAVE. ALSO, POEMS BY A SLAVE. THIRD EDITION. BOSTON, PUBLISHED BY ISAAC KNAPP, No. 25 Cornhill. 1838.” Beneath the main title is a short abolitionist verse beginning “Some view the sable race with scornful eye…”

Excellent response to Vanderbilt report on literary studies: “The actual epistemological crisis we are entering now is one better exemplified by the Vanderbilt report’s AI-generated analyses: automated data collection, sloppy analysis, and a growing sprawl of LLM-generated pseudo-evidence.”
