This from @craigsilverman.bsky.social's story nails it. The companies generally do not like spam ads or need the revenue from them. They simply can't fight the spam effectively without adding friction that will result in “too much good revenue flushed out”. So they make it OUR problem. #Regulation

In which Palantir recruits high school students for fellowships by telling them to skip college because its holds little value and then puts them through a cherry-picked curriculum that oddly resembles… college

Ok if the stupidest possible tech reporting is happening, at least let it be in the Athletic www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

One could jokingly say some of the same people would also say they've been at Woodstock. Ironically, based on this survey, some of them could very possibly have!

Cornell Tech researchers @informor.bsky.social and @travislloydphd.bsky.social earned a Best Paper Honorable Mention at #CSCW2025 for their study on how Reddit moderators respond to AI-generated content. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/10/ai-generated-content-triple-threat-reddit-moderators

But I thought Trump cared so much about protecting Americans from illegal drugs. Also, this story's detail of corruption goes way beyond the headline and the quote. Unbelievable.

Reposting for the morning crowd and due to the tight deadline. Several postdoc positions available for technical AI development at Cornell -- both the NYC Tech campus and Ithaca academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30971 ✈️ Spread the word! ✈️

Cornell (NYC and Ithaca) is recruiting AI postdocs, apply by Nov 20, 2025! If you're interested in working with me on technical approaches to responsible AI (e.g., personalization, fairness), please email me. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30971

Ok JP Morgan new building do we have a reason to be alarmed?

This is most literally the LOWEST HANGING FRUIT of AI detection: read (or maintain) the already-available metadata. Alexios' investigation shows that most of the platforms can't even do that.

This is truly amazing work bringing actual positive change to the world. #cscw2025 @cornelltech.bsky.social

Well this is sure to be a blockbuster AI article... @jennarussell.bsky.social et al are kicking ass and taking names in journalism, both individuals and organizations. "AI use in American newspapers is widespread, uneven, and rarely disclosed" arxiv.org/abs/2510.18774

Those of you at universities might share our recent report on public opinion with their leadership. There are takeaways that are highly relevant to their choices in the current moment. In particular, there is broad, bipartisan, but latent, support for higher education. edbarometer.org

To be fair, Gaza did not discuss or agree to have these companies, either.

They made us sympathize with Cheney, and Romney, and now airports? Truly unforgivable.

Witkoff rn in the big public protest at the Hostage Square in Tel Aviv: "Trump..." [loud cheers] "Netanyahu..." [loud boos, cannot continue]

For context, and metaphor, this is the same guy who put a large penis-shaped building in the middle of SF.

This post violates my pet peeve -- don't list a date without a day-of-week if you want people to sign up -- but this protest is the most important thing you can do this coming SATURDAY. You've posted on Bluesky enough. We need everyone on the streets. #nokings

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

Evil (administration) and genius (presentation and story, both heartbreaking).

He should have yelled it a little louder but at least he is telling it like it is. Good follow (here, and more conceptually)

You don't need a First Amendment law professor to tell you that the govt demanding control over a university's viewpoints or else is patently unconstitutional. But it obviously is.

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ... A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

Yep that is our future (Also: cites our research although in an ever-so-slightly wrong way).

Well played, @macalestercollege.bsky.social, well played. The eligible teenager in my household was definitely won over.

"very upset and angry" is correct. The government is breaking another (implicit) contract. Science and society lose again.

At @hcde.uw.edu, we will be hiring an Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor this coming year! Timing wise, we are hiring for a Sept. 2026 start date, but could be sooner. We are looking forward to welcoming a new colleague! Learn more and apply at apply.interfolio.com/171881

Excited for this event at Yale in a few weeks -- lucky to have a speaking slot in which I (in peak academia) will question* the very premise of the event by saying that we just don't have, or use, the right signals for our social and information systems. *"Problematize", I guess

More illustrative version here -- two time ranges, and with "Cancel Netflix" as control, plus showing that the Disney backlash also trickled sideways to Hulu cancellations. #canceldisney+
