iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Now that all the llm companies have successfully stolen literally everything ever written, they're all pivoting hard to "let us surveill you 24/7 here put this camera on your face and wrist c'mon enter the panopticon"

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Not to nit pick but I suspect there would be lots of bomb plot related follow-up that might make a note compelling narrative

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

from my experience genAI is (at this point) pretty garbage at generating any insightful comments or content that could be created by anyone medium-expert level in the field, but it can be useful for boiler plate things and editing suggestions (as you said). i'm curious why the resistance

experienced this strongly with the first wave of covid as well i'm not sure how to handle beyond being more or less selective on what news i keep up with as my baseline anxiety fluctuates. how actionable different kinds of news is has been my hand wavy measure for filtering.

Was not expecting the issue to be that people are using genAI to do their critical thinking -- I've not had any experiences with the most recent genAI where it generates anything coherent for tasks beyond intern level difficulty.

@anildash.com really enjoyed your article on AI-first mandates! I would like to share with colleagues, but basically need a less sarcastic version to not introduce tension. Do you have any recommendations on similar articles that may be less abrasive to people who have been promoting such mandates?

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for. And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel. I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience.
No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent.
And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.
... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day. Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.
