A friend recently texted me the same thing. “Do you really not use ChatGPT?!” It was a sign of where we are culturally on this. People are compelled to use it but also starting to question the normalcy?

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is. Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right? If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS. No one should have that much.

When deception’s more profitable than honesty, users lose. Internal documents suggest that Meta earns $3.5B(!) every 6 mo. from scam ads, revealing a deeper systemic problem: the economic incentive to tolerate “higher legal risk” content still outweighs any penalty. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

“Debunking such pseudoscience takes massively more energy than it takes to thoughtlessly produce it. Moreover, the hard work typically will fall on the shoulders of people most affected by such discriminatory research, further amplifying the harm done.” irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2024/03/03/t...

Jamaica’s recovery from #HurricaneMelissa can benefit from prioritizing established local groups. After Hurricane Maria, only 10% of nearly $5 billion in federal contracts went to Puerto Rico-based organizations while 90% flowed to mainland contractors, slowing down the recovery. buff.ly/QH5qr1V

I just have to do references. Why didn't I do them as I wrote this article?

People deserve food actually

An old post from late in my Twitter days. I'm going to have to update this in some fashion for the post-generative AI context, but in that context I think something like it remains important -- perhaps is even more so. I do not think these are skills that should be outsourced, even if they could be

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around. Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Make the ed tech companies like Canvas give teachers the option to turn AI off!

So important that European educator unions are getting together to agree ways forward on AI in both schools and HE - and especially that they are *not* partnering with big AI firms as the US teachers' union has done.

I'm looking at PhD programs to apply to. Could any Disabled PhD students weigh in on what ended up being the most important when selecting a program/lab? In hindsight what do you wish you had considered? #academia #PhD #GradSchool

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth
