Dear @erc.europa.eu , we DO already have common standards & frameworks. 'AI' likes to pose itself as 'special' but we do not need to reinvent the wheel. We already have established codes of conduct for research integrity. We just need to apply them. See below + more resources in thread🧵

Protecting the Ecosystem of Human Knowledge: Five Principles
We must protect and cultivate the ecosystem of human knowledge. AI models can mimic
the appearance of scholarly work, but they are (by construction) unconcerned with truth
— the result is a torrential outpouring of unchecked but convincing-sounding “informa-
tion”. At best, such output is accidentally true, but generally citationless, divorced from
human reasoning and the web of scholarship that it steals from. At worst, it is confidently
wrong. Both outcomes are dangerous to the ecosystem.
Olivia Guest, Iris van Rooij, Marcela Suarez, et al. (2025, n.p.)
Knowledge production is supposed to be safeguarded by (inter)national codes of conduct for research
integrity (ALLEA 2023; KNAW et al. 2018). Such codes forbid, for instance, fabrication of data,
falsification of results, plagiarism, and, generally, distortion of the scientific record. Many argue that
new rules are required to regulate academic AI use, but pre-existing guidelines fit the bill (cf. Tafani

To all the ethical and cognitive reasons for not using LLMs, add: why bother living if all you do is prompt a cat-vomit machine for everything? AI-hater since 2019 - here's a book excerpt about it. lithub.com/were-already...

....a vision of what they thought a human life was for. What, after all, will we do when A.I. frees us from doing our jobs and thinking our thoughts and, ultimately, leading our lives? Use more A.I. so that we can use our newfound free time to—use more A.I.? The result is a kind of Ponzi scheme that bottoms out in nothing. Staving off the A.I. apocalypse can only matter if there is something, anything, worth preserving. Who cares if we are alchemized into paper clips if we have become spiritual paper clips already?

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God

Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Leo PXIV

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

Any talk of "independent AI auditors" & FTC enforcement actions is meaningless when the ppl who do not want enforcement have actively captured both a) the people who'll choose the "independents" & b) the *FTC Itself*. Folx who aren't ex-Googlers who left on great terms maybe might tell you that.

there is a generation of current college students who didn’t realize that #MeToo didn’t end rape culture, in part because the adults around them ridiculed it for going “too far”; the generation in between was silenced and punished, while the schools let student turnover free them from accountability

this picture is from 10 years ago in October. as students we took it upon ourselves to organize bystander intervention and consent workshops because our institutions let survivors down. it popped into my head this week considering how in some ways students today have worse material conditions

Here's Backpack as a yearling in 2007, unable to put weight on the injured paw. Holly took her cub & moved upriver, away from aggressive bears who might harm him at Brooks Falls. Fishing was harder for the pair, and she risked both of them struggling or starving, but he was SAFE.

Backpack in 2007, nursing an injured paw that is turned under, so that he can't put any weight on it. If you're wondering why they didn't provide vet care, it's their policy not to interfere when an injury is natural and not caused by human activity.

I think this photo is by David Kopshever, National Park Service? It's on a blog linked below.

Also, as you might imagine, survivors had horrific experiences trying to get their images taken down. According to the survivors we interviewed, web platforms did better 10 years ago. Which makes their institutional betrayals even more enraging. We’re going backwards. Here’s a link to that study:

I worked on a study about online nonconsensual image sharing. We were shocked by how many women found their images on 8chan forums where men posted challenges to each other like, “Find her workplace and get her fired,” or, “Get a nude photo of one of your girlfriend’s friends.”
