I started studying AI in 2016 and existing in the world today is like watching the band from your neighborhood bar go on to sell out Madison square garden. And then die and play Coachella as a hologram

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

Back when I was a k12 teacher in watts I had 3-4 students who were legit funnier than anyone I knew, including professional writers and comedians. Consistently funny. Not formulaic and good writers. But there were no arts programs that could help them develop into working creatives

Norovirus is surging, which reminds me of one of the grosser studies I read this year. Researchers wanted to see if high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP) of oysters would get rid of norovirus, so they tested it on humans. But norovirus spreads through fecal contamination, which means... 🧵

2 people who I respect published a paper, used former teachers for model tuning. Paid 2/3 of the minimum wage in the city where their university is located. Please do not do this. I used a teacher for my dissertation to make knowledge graphs. As student, I paid 40/hr. Plz do better

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless. But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.
