Reposted by Ivan FlisLuke Stark @lukestark.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There are a number of folks who have written extensively on this problem. The fact the critique isn't better known is in part because the critics don't have the money and media power of the AI lobby. Also they're often women, BIPOC, queer, or some combination of all three. 518945

Reposted by Ivan FlisBerna Devezer @devezer.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Science will always appear to be in a crisis if we insist on comparing it to an ideal that has never existed and can never exist.

Reposted by Ivan FlisMartin Paul Eve @eve.gd · 23/06/2026I agree with this - amid all the creative ideas people have had for new assessments, we also need an explicit, robust defence of the essay.
