"Sorry, Bluesky, but I have to say it: Al can already do social science research better than most professors with PhDs. And, for the first time in my life, I really have no idea what happens in five years.
Things are changing already, we just need to wake up."

Image from Wallethub. Graph chart whose source is the US Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2026.

“The average American spends $518.67 on groceries per month. Grocery costs jumped 56.74% between 2014 and 2024.”

It was $3000 a year in 2000. It is now over $6000 a year.

Prices seemed to start increasing more rapidly around 2016.

See last RT. I went to look up the author of the screenshotted post
Text in screenshot from Jasmine Sun:
I define AI populism as a worldview in which Al is viewed not only as a normal technology but as an elite political project to be resisted. It regards Al as a thing manufactured by out-of-touch billionaires and pushed onto an unwilling public to achieve sinister aims like "capitalist efficiency" (layoffs) and "population management" (surveillance).

Al populists don't really care whether ChatGPT is personally useful, or it Waymos eke out some safety gains: Al's utility as a tool is immaterial relative to the unwelcome societal change it represents.

Man that is racist. Re-posting screenshot w/ alt text.
Text in screenshot. 

A post from H elen A ndrews from the Bad Place owned by a billionaire.


“We gradually transitioned from a democratic welfare state to full-on race communism between the 1960s and today for two reasons:

1. The beneficiaries of our race laws went from 10 percent of the population to a majority in places like NYC and soon a majority nationally.

2. We bent a lot of rules to give black Americans a one-time boost thinking they'd catch up. That didn't happen, so now the choice is either go back to colorblindness and the rule of law anyway even though it means unequal outcomes, or let the government keep meddling more and more in the name of racial equity.

His tweet: “have I mentioned yet today
that tiktok hysteria is a manufactured moral panic by unserious people who don't actually care about privacy, but are keen on using a gullible press to help transfer TikTok's fat ad revenues to allies under the pretense of privacy and national security?”

Tweet by Cheryl Hines In reference to RFK Jr. Posted 1/25/22 @ 7:44: 

“My husband's reference to Anne Frank at a mandate rally in D.C. was reprehensible and insensitive. The atrocities that millions endured during the Holocaust should never be compared to anyone or anything. His opinions are not a reflection of my own.”

Reminder of the predictions Edison made in 1922 about textbooks & education.
“I believe that the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our
educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks..I should say, that on the average we get about two percent efficiency out of schoolbooks as they are written today. The education of the future, as l see it, will be conducted through the medium of the motion picture... where it should be possible to obtain one hundred percent efficiency.” (Thomas Edison, 1922 cited in Oppenheimer,
2003)

@bakerdphd.bsky.social fyi about github
Chomba Bupe tweeted yesterday:

“I deleted my GitHub account a long time ago because I was suspicious that if I hosted my work in a private repo on GitHub Microsoft would still access the code.

From the looks of it, the hunch was correct because private repos were scraped for training Copilot.”

Five year anniversary of this tweet. She has completely dropped out of the public view since she suspended her run for President.
Text of tweet by Nikki Haley on 1/9/2021

“There are no excuses or defense for this moment. There is only one way forward. Those who broke the law must be punished. We must condemn those responsible. We must recommit ourselves to upholding our American ideals.
And we must all promise: We will never let this happen again.”

Happy Five Year Anniversary to this tweet
Ari Fleischer tweeted (on 1/6/21 at around 10:49 Pacific Time):

“If you don't like what's happening today, maybe you should go back four years, look in the mirror and ask if it was a good idea to declare #NotMyPresident, declare yourself the Resistance, and boycott an Inaugural. When one side violates norms, the other side will too.”

STATEMENT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA:

A student's claim of religious discrimination on an individual assignment in an online Psychology Course taught by a graduate teaching assistant has come to resolution. As stated previously, the student followed two available processes at the University: the grade appeals process in the college and she made a formal claim of illegal religious discrimination. As already announced, the grade appeal was decided in favor of the student, removing the assignment completely from the student's total point value of the class, resulting in no academic harm to the student.

The claim for discrimination has been investigated and concluded. The University does not release findings from such investigations.
At the same time of the investigation, the Provost-the University's highest ranking academic officer- and the academic Dean reviewed the full facts of the matter. Based on an examination of the graduate teaching assistant's prior grading standards and patterns, as well as the graduate teaching assistant's own statements related to this matter, it was determined that the graduate teaching assistant was arbitrary in the grading of this specific paper. The graduate teaching assistant will no longer have instructional duties at the University.

Because this matter involves both student and faculty rights, the University has engaged in repeated and detailed conversations with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee to ensure there is an understanding of the facts, the process, and the actions being taken.

The University of Oklahoma believes strongly in both its faculty's rights to teach with academic freedom and integrity and its students' right to receive an education that is free from a lecturer's impermissible evaluative standards. We are committed to teaching students how to think, not what to think.

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices."
