I’ve been wondering how the art would shift in opposition if the ubiquity of AI-Gen art and its plasticy, uncanny style. I figured that we go back to analogue, old tech, but this repurposing of surveillance tech is brilliant and makes so much sense.

I thought they were being paranoid; even with the interfaces you actually have to read the words, preferably all the words. Sometimes non-augmented humans don’t do that. Sometimes augmented humans don’t do it either.

The good: it’s book one of a series. The bad: it was only published a couple of months ago, so it’ll be a while until I get the next book.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

📣 For those who can't host or attend a teach-in, one of the most impactful #HandsOffUSPS actions you can take is to tell your Reps to support H.Res 70 and S.Res 147. In brief: Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure the USPS remains independent and is not subject to privatization.

Jay is the lead author on a fascinating paper I was involved in, about how male mimicry by female hummingbirds provides the first example of a type of signaling system that we predicted from theoretical principles over a decade ago. This is infuriating. And I believe it's due to anti-trans bias.

Me on Independent Bookstore Day

Gru with a large white pad that says "First we get a book". In the next panel it says "Then, we get another book". In the next panel it says "And then we say no more books". In the next panel it says "But then, we see another book". In the last panel Gru looks excited and it says "So we get two more books!"

Censoring mis/disinformation research is just the beginning. All scientific research in the US is under threat. Now is the time for scientists in all fields to act. Some small steps each of us can take:

Eight tangible things you can do: 1. call congressional representatives 2. push universities to advocate against cuts 3. activate professional associations 4. attend a protest 5. follow researchers working in these areas 6. educate your neighbors and friends 7. join a group that supports science 8. demand federally funded research be free of partisan interference

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context* Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Read Maris's piece, then go show your local indie bookstore some love. They're so much more than places to get books--they are places to engage with ideas and others in your community. Staffed by actual humans to help you find the books you didn't know you needed!

I’m very very saddened to hear the news about Michelle Trachtenberg. She was an always-bouncing goofy kid, a ray of sunshine. Awful loss.

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Michelle Trachtenberg. She was such a talent with a unique look and the ability to make even the most bristly characters fan favorites. 39 is way, way too young. May she rest in peace.

So just as an odd fun fact, the world record for sheep to sweater is 4 hours, 45 minute, and 53 seconds and the team who set that record included Miriam Tegels, the record holder for most stitches knitted in one minute.

@jessesingal.com 's first anti-trans piece in The Atlantic had a photo of a trans 22 year old for a child-transition piece that forced him to come out to his family and friends. Shrier-esque in infantilizing adult transmascs as kids/ daughters with no agency www.poynter.org/ethics-trust...

poynter.org

The Atlantic tried to artistically show gender dysphoria on its cover. Instead it damaged the trust of transgender readers. - Poynter

A 2018 Atlantic cover story about families with transgender teenagers misgendered its cover model and crossed ethical boundaries in the process.

A good overview of the “primary energy” fallacy. Basically, renewables waste far less energy for the same service as burning fossil fuels. So we actually need a lot less energy than you might think. Read more here: medium.com/@jan.rosenow...

Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy?
