Every time someone makes a Döner/Shawarma/Gyros/Donair video, everyone runs to the comments to scream very loudly that they didn’t actually make that, and instead they made Döner/Shawarma/Gyros/Donair.

Euro bills have three versions of “Euro” written on it: EURO, ΕΥΡΩ, and ЕВРО. Two of these are said /evro/. A uniform pronunciation is clear.

For what it’s worth, I feel this message is pretty on point. The Industrial Revolution brought us industrialized slavery, child labor exploitation, uranium and arsenic covered homes, as well as waterways and skies incapable of supporting life.

Once again, they insisted Obama was a narcissist because he used the pronoun "I" in speeches too much. But this? This is fine.

People wonder why it is — how could that happen? — that many Germans made such bad choices in WW2. Well, from now on we can point to what is happening with pedo/fash AI in the 2020s in Europe & USA. There are times in life when you have to very actively and effortfully choose to be a good person.

I also constantly have to reassure people that the golden statue of me is not blasphemous in any way

Albrecht war oft bei den Gedenken in der KZ-Gedenkstätte #MittelbauDora & ich hatte die Ehre, ihn kennenzulernen. Ich liebte seine besondere Art zu reden. Er mischte Deutsch und Englisch, da er nach 1945 in den USA gelebt hatte. Er bestand auch immer darauf, dass man ihn duzte. Gute Reise, Albrecht!

Trump is posting absolutely deranged shit on social media this morning ahead of departing for China today. Get a load of this stuff.

As you probably know, there's a lone Democrat on the FCC, Anna Gomez. view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/177... Gomez gets out-voted on everything, so all she can do is observe, warn, translate and behave like a sharp blogger. Here she is talking to ABC News: "The settlement did not buy you peace."

As someone who always needs CC/subtitles due to audio processing difficulties, I find genAI CC just as frustrating as not being able to figure out dialogue as the rampant homonym and idiom errors which a human with contextual understanding wouldn’t make are an accessibility barrier in themselves.

DURBIN: Could you explain to the American people why with the vast investment we've made in national defense and military, how Iran after they are attacked by us is still capable of stopping the traffic in the Strait of Hormuz? CAINE: It's a complex situation

Some private credit funds marked the values of their investments significantly lower in the first quarter, their filings show, highlighting the pressure they face as artificial intelligence upends business models and projections for small businesses.

ABA is poised to eliminate three separate diversity and non-discrimination requirements from its law school accreditation standards. The proposed changes represent a rollback of the ABA’s years-long push ‌to bolster diversity and inclusion within law schools and the legal profession reut.rs/4u3eZuJ

When the judge starts reminding you that you're an officer of the court… #AssumptionOfIrregularity

Advances in AI-augmented vuln hunting were predicted years ago. The results are here. Linus’ Law must be understood in its inverse — given enough eyeballs, all software contains bugs. To respond, we should write less code, not more, and harden the open source commons as much as possible.

Hello… is this the White House? It is? Great! Yeah, hi. I’m calling because I want to report a disgusting case of antisemitism—a vile antisemitic libel that already inspired the worst mass shooting of Jews in American history. I know the president is gonna want to start combating it immediately.

This is an interesting piece and connects to a convo i was having with friends yesterday, about how one of my challenges recently is persuading students that I want *their* thoughts and analysis about things, and that it coming *from them* is the entire point. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

It is wild to me that there is such pressure to use a tool that has like a 40-50% error rate! What other tool would that be acceptable in?

<< The quest to build what seems like an all-knowing system capable of performing any task under any circumstance has already resulted in many documented harms to marginalized groups, including worker exploitation, data theft, environmental racism, the spread of misinformation and disinformation,

Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusation of idolatry. This is what idol worship looks like.

I'll just note that critical race theory predicts quite a lot about the current racial retrenchment and for being *correct* it was pilloried in the press and by some academics.

“We’ve just pushed 4.5 million people further into poverty. Congrats to us”

no AP no. There are no pedestrians on runways. There can be misplaced ground crew or trespassers, and in this case it was a trespasser. All emergency procedures appear to have been followed and crew and passengers remained safe. AP's own style prohibits use of heightened language when reporting.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection.

Supreme Court justices should not have publishing deals and be doing publicity tours at all, even for a kid's book.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Preprinted! Been working on this for ~1 year w wonderful coauthors Nancy & Mark: > Understanding Artificial Neural Networks: Mysterianism about Known Mechanism is Mysticism doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Have you noticed many experts say they don't understand AI? What's going on? 🤯 Let us tell you... 1/

Why do companies contact scientific experts on Critical AI Literacy? Some ask me for my perspective, but my advice would be not to do the things they do. I assume this is not what they want to hear, so why do they contact me?

Reading the whole thing now, but this phrase: "All computational systems, from pendulums to databases, will behave in ways we cannot predict or control — this is not a unique property of ANNs — and experts do indeed grasp the computational properties of these systems nonetheless." is a headshot.

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.

OMG, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you need copyright permissions to incorporate a software library in your source code, then you’re “modifying” it within the terminology of the AGPL library. If you don’t like this, then don’t use an AGPL library.

Maybe it was a mistake to build systems that accumulate all course materials, assignments, discussions, communications, student and faculty information, just because it was slightly easier than having profs post their own pdfs.

"Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask" is the most telling part of this prompt.

My GP is an instructor and is livid about medical students' use of chatbots and AI instead of actually learning about medicine.

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

The fantasy they make up

Even when it's correct: (a) you already know it’s correct, i.e. you haven’t added anything major (b) you need to check whether it really is correct, which is a lot of work and more of a hassle than figuring it out for yourself

What the hell www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Great article filled with shocking details, such as ‘Craig Garrett….discovered that his then kindergartener had been reading to the Amira bot in class all year’ and ‘The city D.O.E. official overseeing the guidelines is a current recipient of a fellowship jointly offered by Google and GSV Ventures’.

"If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work" Gonna stop ya right there, chief

We need to suspend the House races and go ahead and redistrict so that Georgians would be represented in the next two years by white people. Georgia is a white state. We need to remember that.

no but seriously i'm increasingly struck by the "neither war nor peace" aspect of modern warfare. everyone agrees that war is a monumentally stupid thing for two industrialized states to engage in. but also they want the candy. so we get this shit

Fun fact: the USA has been able to sell their own oil for significantly higher than other markets were selling. So, it made sense to sell their own oil and buy other oil for use. Simple arbitrage. It's been a weird market, let me tell you.
