I just saw about the cop who made $430k, most of it from overtime

Unless by "truth and reconciliation" we mean forced labor in a gulag in northern Alaska.

no, seriously, a "truth and reconciliation" process isn't going to be enough.

For X, Y and Z reasons, I ended up looking at Dean salaries for various UCs and, omg, I'm not sure they're actually that overpaid.

Also: if you are on X because thats where you find “interesting things”, you might want to put on some sun lotion and leave your basement because, man, wait till you discover irl

I wonder how many bot accounts went dark on BlueSky when Ukraine hit that Russian data center a few days ago. Denial won’t make those numbers untrue…

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

The problem is an issue of scale, so while there may still be those kinds of folks, they might not be enough to keep the system going

I mean, AI doesn’t have tacit knowledge. Like, AT ALL. That’s precisely its greatest limitation (which is a derivative of the indexicality issue I keep hammering over and over). So a society where more and more things are left to AI basically hitting the self-destruct button.

the accelerated adoption of AI in highly technical domains (like software engineering) plus the defunding of educational pipelines means that the tacit knowledge that is *essential* for the modern world to reproduce itself simply starts to die away?

I had an interesting thought while sharing MacKenzie and Spinardi’s Uninventing the Bomb paper: what if AI becomes the thing that uninvents “the world”. I’m being hyperbolic (before y’all go True BSky on me) but what if:

You can travel back in time but you can only do one of two: 1) kill baby Stalin 2) nuke ARPANET

My guess is that lots of it is insecurity (“my community“ isn’t ever 25k people you don’t know, but a smaller set of individual you communicate regularly with; but those 25k generate lots of dopamine)

Reading university press office comms for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to regulate your skeets and not post things that are largely unverified but confirm your priors.

In our course and book _Calling Bullshit_, we posit that If something seems too good, or too bad, to be true, it probably is. Now as a college professor I'm pretty confident that overreliance can AI can harm our thinking ability, but just ten minutes of use? Let's dig into this this study a bit.

Using AI for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to persist at hard things - Berkeley News

A UC Berkeley researcher co-authored a study that raises profound questions about how we interact with artificial intelligence in education — and daily life.

I beg you, @nytimes.com, count the instances of violent speech across the “both parties”. Count them. Do the very basics.

A massive, and massively underrated, threat to a functioning democracy is a media that treats apples as pears and oranges as kiwis.

One US political party has explicitly encouraged, endorsed, and indeed pardoned this....

It’s a bit irritating that now everyone is “concerned” about foreign scientists facing visa issues but no one anywhere across the political spectrum spent half a dime of their political capital with the spousal issue before this crisis.

I think the issue is, primarily, that people realize that when dudes go ubermensch, they mostly become fascists.

I wonder if nuking the US R&D infrastructure will exacerbate this in any way.

(Not) surprising how higher education institutions are effectively abandoned by both blood thirsty right wingers and pliant “left” wing politicians. Really tells you something. Someone should write something about this. Someone.

An LLM isn’t even an insect, and I do blame all the computer scientists who have used neural and biological metaphors to talk about “intelligence” even before actual neuroscientists even had a functional theory of how neurons store memories…

I cannot believe someone invoked Thich Nhat Hanh in an argument about treating chat bots politely. Maybe I should dig out the Tamagotchi I had eons ago from the landfill because, who knows, maybe in this new-age interpretation I might re-incarnate as a transistor or something like that if I don’t

A National Convention-like trial might do the same trick. And be overall much more cost effective.

Think of the opportunities of economic reactivation for Luzerne County, building not a data center but a huge pit into hell.
