Once again, if you are a senior researcher spreading doom to junior researchers, shut up shut up shut up. It’s your job to figure out a path forward, even in high uncertainty times. Come back when you have something constructive.

My girlfriend and I had our asses totally kicked by the Covid shot alone this year. Dono what’s up with that but it was like a full 24 hours before either of us felt fine again.

It doesn’t help that places like Wikipedia introduce some of these people as “AI researcher and writer” and some editors get pissed when it gets correctly changed to “self-appointed researcher and fan fiction author”

I wrote a new piece yesterday, called "Confessions of an Unrepentant Slop Snob", about my escalating rage at AI-generated text. It includes a framework for thinking about when AI involvement is fine -- just another tool -- and when it lands as a violation. charity.wtf/p/confession...

it’s a discourse thermonuclear weapon, but I do *wonder* how many of the Americans who are vocally outraged by calls to collectively sanction/punish/disempower red states…..also throughly believe in collective punishment for Israel over its war crimes in Gaza.

It’s a total motte and bailey. He says “Zionist” (a term most Jews identify with) and then when he gets backlash it’s “just the ones who want to expand”. Not to mention the absurd claim that Jews experience all of the same privileges as white people (especially since not all Jews are white).

When people say "bikes" they don't typically mean "just get on a bike and ride everywhere, loser." What they mean is that in a country where the more than half of all local trips are 3 miles or less, our government could do a lot more to make it safe for people to choose to bike if they want.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com
