Possibly the best way to phish academics would be to just send them email that looks like a request to review an article and embed your malware in the "decline to review" link

Anyone want some scaffolding? Someone’s done my house by mistake so I have some spare 😂

*sidling up to someone at the bar* you hear the mayor abolished bedtimes

I am obsessed with this finalist in this year's Michigan “I voted” sticker design contest

Does anyone have a good reading for undergrads on open science and pre-registration?

“But how did the zombie apocalypse start, daddy?”

Anyone know the source Robin is talking about?

87-98 GW/h a year would power FOUR HOSPITALS WHAT ARE THEY DOING?? Wow I can feel the vein behind my eye.

I am once again issuing the nigh impossible ‘stop accepting the right wing framing as your premise’ challenge

This is still one of my favourite and most underrated articles on LLMs / AI. (for my non-stats audience: PCA is a 100 year old statistical decomposition technique) pappubahry.substack.com/p/is-pca-int...

Note: We do not use AI. Period. We pay humans to create our games, end-to-end. Adobe recently implemented a feature that quietly injected AI alt text into Umdaar. We've removed it, updated the PDF, and disabled the feature. We apologize for the error, please download the latest PDF. Also: Fuck AI.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The person who originally saw this broadcast and took the pictures of the TV is currently the Icelandic Ambassador to the US.

The gift this thread is. I’m weeping.

Former UK technology secretary Peter Kyle agreed to include “more positive language about artificial intelligence” in a speech last year on the advice of Lord Peter Mandelson, co-founder of an advisory firm that worked for OpenAI and Palantir www.ft.com/content/1b3e...

Me: Can anyone provide me with a really on the nose metaphor for the state of higher education? Cornell:

Klingon lesson for the day! {tlhIngan bIghHa' rur baraq 'oba'ma che'wI' paq qach} "Barack Obama's presidential library is like a Klingon prison."

Finally reading @anilseth.bsky.social’s book ‘Being You’ so I can be mad about his theory of perception (it’s a living 🤷‍♂️). Just saw this sentence about dreams, though, and I feel like it’s wrong; I experience dreams when I wake up, not when they’re happening 🤔 Thoughts?

Happy birthday to me? 🤔

Turnitin pivoting to the bold marketing strategy of “actually, it’s the humans teachers who cognitively offload their students!” Good luck with that.

I love this apple juice. They throw 4 apples into a machine and it juices them on the spot, and it tastes like you are drinking an apple. Kind of astonishing

Left-leaning parties need to get it through their dumb skulls that anti-trans sentiment is a fascist poison pill. It corrupts everything else you claim to stand for. And it does it by design. This is manufactured consent to manipulate people toward the right. Why be such a mark and fall for it?

I don’t know, guys, it doesn’t seem a great sign for British democracy that the government is currently encouraging politically-motivated vigilantism against their own trans constituents.

one for your block finger (it's a chatGPT bot that autoreplies to posts with google search related text).

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

A truly delightful social media interaction. Iykyk.

Since September I've been working with an international group to develop what we hope can be a response from the mathematics community to artificial intelligence in maths. The Leiden Declaration is now posted and open for signatures: https://leidendeclaration.ai/ #leidendeclaration

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Incredible. A+, 10/10, no notes

“Who here was alive in 1999” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

One of the greatest TV shows in history was in NZ, called A Dog’s Show. It was half an hour of farmers and their dogs competitively wrangling sheep, and it was absolutely unmissable, legendary TV. You have never been as invested in something as I was in the dogs on this show

Lads lads lads the robot revolution is happening NOW

Applications are now open for our 2026 CIFAR Brain, Mind, and Consciousness Winter School, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪. Attendance is competitive & fully funded thx to generous support from @templetonworld.bsky.social. Apply by June 10: cifar.ca/next-generat...

Analogies are scientifically useful: one can transfer knowledge between domains. But what is point of insisting that the brain is a computer, if we need to admit that it is completely different from the kind of computer that we are familiar with? What's the big insight?

Fuck off

Co-sign

this is the book im usually dissatisfied with short introductory books (well, because they tend to be brief then the present a simplified understanding of a given topic) but this book is really GOOD

Fucking weirdos

This comes with a lot of great links to help you contact legislators and fight the attack on American science fight2win.standupforscience.net

New -- I wrote about ChatGPT's April 2025 cross-chat memory update, which many people whose lives were upended by ChatGPT obsessions point to as an inflection point. It “takes people into cul-de-sacs... [my wife] is like a Waymo driving around in a circle endlessly.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

What’s with NPR lately?

Psychologists doing exploratory factor analysis be like: #statsmeme

This is very cool

This shit makes me irrationally angry. Just let people use the damn toilet you weirdos

Lovely evening to paint out in Seattle
