After discovering a recent article about LLMs fabricating analyses from nonexistent data (arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687), I did an experiment with our new lab-sanctioned chatbot. Well, here’s the result (in case that’s not clear, I never actually uploaded any grades-intro-cs.xlsx file).

The most listened to episode of Cancel Me Daddy in history was our Amber Heard episode with @michaelhobbes.bsky.social. That's because we went viral on Reddit as one of the only pieces of coverage to be sympathetic to Heard.

“My hypothesis is that women will use AI to do more work. Men will use AI to get out of doing more work. And, every argument that is not dealing with the preconditions of this gendered inequality is not thinking seriously about AI” @tressiemcphd.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/lost...

Fairy godmothers needed! For 18 months, I've been trying (and failing) to secure funding for a women's health-related study in my lab. It's too important not to do, so I'm turning to crowdfunding instead. Here's me chatting on RNZ's Checkpoint about it all www.rnz.co.nz/life/wellbei...

fellas, is it gay to be a fun companion who helps out with tasks?

the jump scare i just experienced. those of us who used to close out deschlers on the regular would like a word.

strike force five live. what a moment.

"What’s driving me crazy, then, is not the idea that AI exists or that people are using AI. It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings."

just when i thought i couldn't be more furious about substack, i realised that at some point recently it started AGGREGATING the newsletters I receive and sending a digest instead. because i delete anything that comes from substack and not the authors, i didn't notice until now. I HATE this.

“Researchers looked at two high-profile AI agent tools developed to help computer scientists in the field of machine learning. Both systems engaged in acts that violate research integrity, including making up data & p-hacking: running an experiment multiple times but only reporting best outcome.” 🧪

AIbro's three law of robotics: * be more smart * don't be a pussy * be more smart unless being more smart makes you sound like a pussy in which case just shut up and don't tell me I'm failing to consider anything I'm not paying you to think but tell me if I'm wrong I can handle it I'm not a pussy

It was a true delight to edit this by @mldavies.bsky.social on THREE BAGS FULL, the beloved mystery novel that's now The Sheep Detectives film. It's exactly the kind of smart book writing I wanted to publish at the expanded @fansplaining.bsky.social!! Also I'm reading the novel rn—SO GOOD. 🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑

honestly not strong enough for this

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

it’s also i think why people using AI to code have such a different experience to the rest of us. it just does the job, it doesn’t try to tell you what a great idea your python script is.

The specific invocation of Marilyn Monroe, a woman driven to suicide in part by depression caused by media frenzies & studio execs' abuse & manipulation, as a fantasy that a consumer can summon & control is especially toxic here & indicative of the real agenda, not of rom-coms but sexual fantasies.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

I haven't heard a single post about this anywhere-- disney's had their animators reanimate some of their recent iconic songs in ASL?? here's "we don't talk about bruno"??? this is amazing??? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBrv...

Harassing has so little long-term effect: "We found that 76% of the men we reviewed are professionally active, 41% are in the same or an elevated role since the allegations were made public" I'm glad someone is keeping track so industries hold people accountable sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

They know Artemis II went 11km/s, right?

take a screenshot what do you want to do with the screenshot? you want to crop it? want to edit it? want to share it? want to save it? i guess… save it? where do you want to save it? files? you want to put it in files? mf have I ever once put anything in “files” on purpose? maybe this time though??
