Anthropic every damn day

Looks like Notre Dame Political Science lowered the tenure bar to hell for this clown to clear it. Just the most midwir reactionary agit-prop ever.

how I feel when open science initiatives choose to publish in Nature

Israël houdt bijna 10.000 Palestijnen gevangen in een netwerk van martelkampen. Uithongering, verkrachting en amputaties zijn geen uitzonderingen, maar beleid. En nu wil Israël Palestijnse gevangenen ophangen. Eis ook dat onze regering zich NU uitspreekt: rightsforum.org/petitie/stop...

Occupation: None. This is how most women are described in #archives. A couple of times I found chocolatera and once a beggar, but women's work (at home, in the fields, owning & renting property) was usually not recognised - much as it is now. [Image from Autobiografía del Algodón]

@unileiden.bsky.social ff opletten? Ik zou graag copilot weg van mijn werkomgeving (en Canvas).

Twee jaar lang deed de VVD niets tegen de genocide. Maar nu de slachtoffers ervan mogelijk hierheen komen, is opeens dringend actie nodig. En zegt de VVD: een vermoorde Palestijn is tot daar aan toe. Maar een migrerende Palestijn? Dat nooit. Jarl van der Ploeg in de #Volkskrant.

Teresa Heffernan — Literature Versus the AI Industry @tjheffernan.bsky.social loved this! excellent stuff

The actual targets of fascism, find themselves disbelieved. "Yes things are a bit bad right now," a liberal will reassure someone who has experienced a *massive* increase in suffering.

But, can they read entrails of animals?

Haven't done queries in ages and all guides are for products, prices, stock and THAT IS NOT HELPFUL when you want to find out which books were present in several inventories or how genres were spread through lists 😫 At this rate, it might be easier to count with an abacus. #DigitalHumanities fail

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

How did rare books become valuable? Emma Smith talked to us about the rare books market, Shakespeare's first folio, and their ties to sugar plantations and slave labor in the Caribbean. Learn more from Professor Smith for free at throughlines.org #Shakespeare #BookHistory

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

Consider signing this open letter. We must fight against the auto-destruction of the university as an institution where skills essential to democracy are being learned and practiced: reading, interpreting, writing, formulating research questions that go beyond the normative rationality of LLMs

Veel collega's op het HO en van WOinActie dachten dat het beter zou worden. Volgende keer beter opletten op wat D66 er voor staat. Echt, samenwerken met Markuszower en VVD 🚮

Gummy llamas art at the last day of the #BeforeRuins conference. Had great conversations and found new conspirators 🤗

Sheila over 'terugkeerhubs'. 'Een Algerijn die hier weg moet en naar Oeganda wordt gestuurd, gaat niet ‘terug’. Een uitgeprocedeerde Marokkaan die naar Albanië wordt gedeporteerd, is niet ‘terug’. Hij wordt verplaatst, en met hem de verantwoordelijkheid.' www.volkskrant.nl/columns-van-...

Marginalizing scientific racists like Cofnas is entirely consistent with academic freedom. See section 5: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/28499/

"the language of civilisation, of racial hierarchy, of the white man's burden. Anthropologists, missionaries, and administrators provided the intellectual scaffolding that Leopold II used to build an exploitative and violent regime."

Hey, y'all! This is my photo, so let me provide context to this awesome piece: it's a reprinting of the Oberlin letter in a mag called The Luddite Dispatch, a publication of The Luddite Club in Brooklyn. www.theludditeclub.org

Pop Leo asked if he should put on gloves to turn pages in the gorgeous Renaissance Bible and the librarian explained why it’s better to do so with bare hands. Glorious reaction. Every rare books librarian & archivist feeling very seen, I gather. www.instagram.com/reel/DUcpEBY... #BookHistory

Dat Trump uitgerekend Rutte meeneemt in zijn val vind ik prachtig, jammer dat ze de rest van de mensheid ook meenemen.

Our response to the reappointment of Marcel Levi as Chair of NWO - Now also on our website with links to documents used and a translation to English below the Dutch text. woinactie.blogspot.com/2026/03/herb...

Strong recommendation to teaching faculty to just say no to this stuff, even if you are AI curious/enthusiastic. This is meant to reduce faculty autonomy and capture human labor with automation. You're selling out your future self and the profession as a whole. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

We don't need sovereign hyperscale data centres because we don't want them or the shoddy tech that depends on them. What we do need is a democratic control of our energy and water resources that orients towards sustainability. Goodbye Thames Water, and take Anthropic with you!

Actual quote from recently, in a class test where AI wasn't allowed: "But how can I write code without AI?" 😐 Watching ChatGPT do your homework is *not* learning. A lot of students are vibe studying through their degrees and not gaining basically any knowledge of what they're doing

Screams in #BookHistorian

I've had several former undergrad students who have gone on to graduate education in the healthcare field (med school, PT, dental school, etc.) tell me that the use of "AI" in their programs by their fellow students is rampant What this means for the future of healthcare is quite alarming
