Je réinstalle BlueSky pour relayer cette info de la librairie Violette and co qui mérite d'être connue dans le détail car il n'y a pas que la perquisition qui est très inquiétante. RT en masse s'il vous plait 💜

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

Ah ben oui les IA sont parfaitement dénuées de biais c’est un fait avéré et clairement documenté (non)

Quand t’en as plein le cul de jouer le jeu du passing (aka moi depuis un moment)

J'ai un gros doute sur "on pourrait le faire avec beaucoup moins de ressource" parce que les systèmes de computer vision ça existe depuis un assez bon moment mais c'est pas assez performant à moins justement de mettre des gros moyens. C'est carrément devenu un meme.

NYC says transgender for everybody.

Simply but adequately put

LLMs are racist snd sexist because the material they’re trained on is racist snd sexist and they’re owned and operated by racist, sexist billionaires. Stop using this shit. It’s fucking up your brain.

ACAB, always, but it’s not getting better

En général je n’utilise pas d’IA mais j’ai fait une exception pour : La chevauchée des vaches qui rient !

The myth of scientific objectivity hides the truth that every experiment is influenced by cultural values, assumptions and beliefs – and that actually hurts the search for truth Analysis: buff.ly/KcLU0bE 🧪 🩺

"If you are a student, a professor, or a self-taught intellectual — fight. Fight by refusing to abandon your humanity, your originality, and your will to explore... Do not submit to anyone, including the plagiarized digital detritus called “AI.” Read and think on your own terms with your own words."

Ça me rappelle une anecdote : avant que je ne parte au Québec, j’avais eu une demande de pôle emploi spectacle pour venir faire une conférence sur « l’IA va-t’elle tuer les artistes ? » Mais bon, ils « n’avaient pas de budget ».

Allô la gang des gauchos ! Je vais faire un petit sondage : Pourriez-vous me dire avec vos mots ce que vous entendez quand on vous dit que de l’IA a été utilisée dans la création d’une œuvre d’art ? Aussi, selon vous, y a t’il des façons acceptables d’utiliser de l’IA dans un projet artistique ?

Judging from the last few days of vitriolic comments and messages, it seems that me referring to Israel's occupation and blockade of Gaza as "genocide" is quite controversial and I've even been accused of antisemitism. So let me explain myself: 🧵 I didn't just decide this based on my own feelings.

Tantôt (le soir) on était devant le centre d’art où je suis en résidence (à Sherbrooke, au Québec, donc) avec un gars qui y travaille, en train de fumer un joint. Une voiture de flic qui passait nous demande, super poliment et cordialement «  c’est-tu un joint ? ». On répond : oui, mais c’est légal

one last thing, hopefully not for you, but nevertheless: keep doing the work, humanists. keep writing the stuff that pisses all the right people off, keep teaching your students to imagine better futures, keep learning all kinds of nerdy stuff. we’ll need that knowledge. and that heart. 💜

I usually never use LLMs because I hate that shit, the way they’re trained (peak extractivity) and operate, but recently I had to write an email to another artist to invite him to an online meeting to discuss his potential inclusion into a collective. He was aware of this intention.

Posting more "change your lightbulbs" shit while militaries and corporations are churning out the vast majority of emissions is a pretty despicable stretch to keep the heat off the capitalist culprits. Should we call this 'reacharound bootlicking'

This, but in real life.

Il n'y a pas d'argent pour l'éducation et la santé publique parce qu'un peuple éduqué et sain est un danger pour les parasites au pouvoir. Ça semble évident mais ça semble aussi utile de le rappeler.

Grok is a full blown nazi now.

ICE seemingly confirms they are using National Guard as security to conduct immigration raids. Let's call this what it is, militarized ethnic cleansing.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

This is all such a tragic joke

King Charles' recent visit to Canada:

L'indécence de ce nous ! NOUS personnes handicapées militantes sommes opposées et terrifiées par l'hypothèse de cette loi. VOUS, classe politique valide, projetez sur nous votre dégoût validiste de nos existences. Vous êtes en train de faire une erreur impardonnable, REFUSEZ DE NOUS EFFACER.

I think this is happening in no small part because "an education" is treated entirely as a commodity. It's not a thing you want for its own sake, it's the thing you need to have to even begin to be able to apply to entry-level positions and secure ANY kind of income or chance of upward mobility.

Ok, I might stop after this one: The new Pope has a degree in mathematics from Villanova University. This guy doesn’t just understand sin. He understands cos.

“The governing ideology of the far right in our age of escalating disasters has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism.” “End times fascism is a darkly festive fatalism – a final refuge for those who find it easier to celebrate destruction than imagine living without supremacy.”

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

Well I asked ChatGPT and it spoke back to me with hollow words in a mechanical tongue a message designed with the bland and inoffensive sycophancy demanded by the masters of its gods, a pale imitation of the human mind unlit by the divine spark that gives a thing any modicum of life.

Canada: How bad could it be? USA: <shows them> Canada: Aw hell no

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago. Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.) Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.

Phhhhheeeewwwww 😓

The cringiest post of all time.
