if you make acceptance decisions using AI, your school should be shut down permanently we are here to serve students as a public trust. they deserve our full attention. those who we do not admit are also part of that trust: we may admit them at some point; they deserve the best education possible

Mea Culpa to all who celebrate

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

I love this idea so much: Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife just released an anthology of poetry and art exploring how each of the state's ecoregions is being affected by climate change, and how fish & wildlife managers are responding. I just ordered my copy.

microdosing living in the 13th century by saying things like "i need to go up the road to my friend's shop tomorrow and get more sycamore bark"

Since Trump said he was deporting immigrants because they are criminals and drug dealers, he has brought in 17 family members of notorious cartel leader "El Chapo", accused trafficker/rapist Andrew Tate, is pardoning the Honduran drug trafficker, and has pardoned hundreds of convicted criminals

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced. Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

“Oh you think Schumer should step down well what would YOU do in that situation” is my favorite horrible counterargument because a shareholder does not have to personally headhunt a replacement if they vote to oust someone from a board, but if you dislike a politician you better have binders ready

In all seriousness, Dick Cheney made the world worse in a way few other human beings can claim. Millions are dead because of his greed and ambition. The Middle East was torn apart over lies he authored and championed. At least he can't do it again.
