I don't care if Trump "surrendered" to Iran, we should have left Iran the fuck alone to begin with.

"As you get older, you get more conservative" I don't know, man. I've spent my entire adulthood in an unstable economy watching people's rights be toyed with and/or taken away. I have not yet reached a point where I've been like "Yes, this. We definitely need to go back to THIS."

For people who think that AI is inevitable or worry it is, I made starter packs of game devs refusing to use AI, and in less than 24 hours had more than 200 devs ask to be included. Creatives don't want this and won't use it. You just need to support those who won't use it.

like with cops using facial recognition software with known racist biases, the inevitable racist biases of "AI" loan processing are a feature, not a bug. If the software just happens to discriminate, then it's nobody's fault! Software can't be racist! Oopsiedoodle! Can't sue us or the AI company!

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

Jesus, these responses. I am not a paid academic, but I know I must check every one of the references I cite when I write academic papers (or books for that matter). As Dr Waters says, this is basic good practice.

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

also humans making art is active resistance in the era of "AI art" being forced upon us. Humans making art is absolutely essential. It's the opposite of selfishness. It's survival. It's *becoming*.

#put your hand on the wall

#nobody is going to the handprints going "look at the technical proficiency of this hand stencil technique"

#the awe isnt in some prowess but that it is there. there amongst the others.

#thousands of years and the message is clear: i am here i was here

#you just have to be here

#and maybe people will look and go wow they were there

#and just maybe someone will put their hand on the wall through time and space and know that they are not alone

#you dont have to have the prettiest hands

#or the brightest colors

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

so RFK Jr is coming after antidepressants, like he's been saying he will for years. He's strongly gambling on people who think these are optional, rather than life-saving medicines. Fuck that eugenicist sun-dried turd-jerky of a man, may his next raw milk shot turn his innards into slurry.

I have no quality of life without certain medications. Antidepressants save lives & improve quality for enormous numbers of people. Fluoxetine is on the Essential Drugs list (& there should be others). Restricting antidepressant access will kill & fuck up a lot of people.

As a Pluto scientist, it's wild to "make Pluto a planet again" while decimating the careers of those of us that study it! The idea of dominance in space and planetary science supersedes the actual practice of planetary science.
