“… we do not have theories we can rely on.”

This point hasn’t been given nearly enough attention. If you applied actually existing research principles to genAI, it would never be allowed anywhere near a university, research project or classroom.

Trump admin demands personal info of CSU employees in probe The Trump administration has launched a probe into California State University (CSU) regarding alleged antisemitism, requesting personal information of all employees. This follows protests agai…

The Trump administration has launched an investigation into alleged antisemitism at the California State University system and has reached out to CSU faculty about their experiences on campus.

“You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer.”

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

War ravaged Portland:

Waiting for my bagel order in war ravaged Portland.

that we have built an alternate media ecosystem in which every American city is an apocalyptic hellhole - completely unmoored from reality - and the political system has collapsed to the point that the president can use this fabrication to send troops against his own citizens is a staggering failure

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

jesus christ they are demanding the personal phone numbers and email addresses of ALL employees at our sister campus

Left unchecked, openAI and other infotech providers will destroy any remnants of the American education system that manage to escape the Trump administration. Read the full thread.

I’ve been digging through the .99 CD bin lately.

Hard to get the concept of a Tribute album made up of shitty covers.

Keep in mind that only 3-8% of free-tier users would be willing to pay *anything* for it. And that knowing a product uses AI/is made with AI reduces consumer sentiment about it. The hope is that they can worm AI into everything quickly enough that when they jack up the price, you'll *have* to pay.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

I am clueless, or was clueless, about the existence of Disney adults. But I think that people know about Albert Ayler and Roland Kayn.

Please do this if you did not long ago. Delete everything. Agree to nothing. The people who run this going concern despise academics, are likely very illiquid right now, & will show now compunction about selling all your data, as their revised user agreement makes clear.

If someone asked me to give them only one chart that explained the background conditions that facilitated Trumpism, this is the one I'd pick.

There have been *so many* Academia[dot]edu warning signs over the past decade; I’m glad these new terms of service — claiming world rights to your work, your voice, your likeness, your signature, etc — are driving even more people away. May it advance the Ed Tech Luddite Revolution ✊

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

“People are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy... and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates, Feb 19, 2025 www.juancole.com/2025/02/demo...

Wayne Connell, Chief HR officer for @washingtonpost.com, voluntarily put his name on a letter informing a Black woman that men who believe she is genetically inferior are a protected class and that she engaged in misconduct by criticizing men who have historically advocated for lynching Black people

Universities: - Stop offering workshops on how to use ChatGPT to write papers - stop using DeepL to translate your websites or make it sound useful for our research - stop pretending AI usage is inevitable. I don‘t want to work for institutions who can‘t employ critical thinking to new tech.

"The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly. My friends all post themselves as cartoons online."

It is all just so exhausting.

"I wish we could blame this on muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

Utah just passed HB128, by Governor Spencer J. Cox a Republican in office since 2021 and signed into Law on March 25, 2025. Thanks to that, guns are fully legal on public college campuses.

www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston... “Gov. Greg Abbott urged Texas A&M to fire the professor seen in the video because they acted “contrary to Texas law,” although he did not say which law the professor had violated.” Could that be because the prof didn’t violate any TX (or federal) law? 🤔
