When the FBI asked Fearing if he was a communist, he answered “not yet.”

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

Starting to vaguely suspect that students aren’t completely in love with being ground zero for mass data harvesting and punitive surveillance culture with egregiously reduced rights to speech and protest, but I could be wrong

there's something so gutting about how she got the world we all wanted so bad, the one we're fighting to create for the younger generation - an early transition supported by a loving family and circle of friends - and then got cut down anyway

It’s gotten so bad

Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation. $1.5B for “X-Labs.”

Roots is a bicentennial jawn so in 50 years we went from groundbreaking miniseries watched by the whole country to banning copies of the book

Hace unos años leí este libro de McKenzie Wark, que me gustó un montón y que creo que es útil para pensar la cuestión de la inteligencia artificial. Es un poco complejo y voy a intentar explicarlo sencillo (a ver si me aclaro yo también)

We use "rendering" to describe creating photorealistic computer generated images. But Nicole Shukin shows its original meaning was the process of turning unused parts of an animal's body into sellable products. 1/2

“Model collapse”: the human centipede, when it gets long enough to eat its own tail

“Perhaps part of the problem was I had surrounded myself with the fiction writers instead of the poets. I had chosen the wrong world to immerse myself in; the poets were nightclub docents of mourning and melancholia and the fiction writers were real estate agents.” ― Patrick Cottrell

I've been a graduation speaker—twice. Your job is to celebrate the graduates, acknowledge their families and communities, give them a lil encouragement in a moment of transition—and crack some jokes. Why schools invite speakers who can't understand a simple assignment is beyond me.

People like Haidt, and by extension his fellow travelers at the Times and Atlantic, don't want freedom of speech, they want a right to monologue without criticism. It's effectively "how dare those little brats complain about being forced to listen to me at their graduation."

For @mckenziewark.bsky.social’s special issue on Intellectuals I tried to write something with a punchline. Let me know if it lands.

Intellectuals - Is it possible that we might know something of the world, share what we know, decide together what’s best, and work toward a world that is free, fair, and might endure? Guest-edited by @mckenziewark.bsky.social www.e-flux.com/journal/163

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

The end of ChatGPT will not be the end of the epistemic warfare it launched, which I see as an extension of the project of deliteracy which began in the ‘70s & which we will have to reckon with no matter how this bubble bursts.

These ghost books define the larger cosmology of the book itself and are often the clearest residual trace of the review process that turns the book from an individual endeavor into the output of the communal system of critique and revision that defines credible academic prose.

In every academic book there is a secret second book hiding in the footnotes. Sometimes it is the first draft that had migrated there to escape the revisions. Sometimes it is the author's tortured secret rebuttal of their own claims, and sometimes it is the incipient form of the their next book.

Was not immediately sure this was satire.
