Katelyn does unflinching work to counter right-wing moral panics, cancel culture grifting, and attacks on trans rights. She does it all with a dry sense of humour. I really recommend her podcast, @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social.

Prolific but under-acknowledged singer, songwriter, poet, and actor.

I'm #OneOfTheTwo people whom Jon Stewart mocked. I still mask because, with my immunocompromise and kidney failure, I landed in hospital with covid and pneumonia, each for a month. Even a cold can turn to a secondary, life-threatening pneumonia for me. So yeah. Hilarious.

You have got to be fucking kidding me! Nothing says ‘services to education‘ like leading a programme of mass redundancies & a 96% no confidence vote by staff & students. I would love to know who makes these decisions, whether they‘ve been near any universities, & if they are on crack.

Franky goes to Rammstein

These artists are showing more bravery in confronting Trump than the Democratic congressional leadership has ever demonstrated.

Wirklich jedes. einzelne. Mal. wenn jemand in der Öffentlichkeit von den "Fähigkeiten" der KI schwärmt, zeigt sich, dass sie es vor allem lieben, ungestört mit sich selbst zu reden. Was die so toll finden, ist nicht ein "Gegenüber", sondern ein Spiegel.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Bursting into the room, tripping over some boxes, and dropping a notepad with “Carrots of Steel” crossed out and “Grapes Under Pressure” written underneath.

This Nazi passed a bill to imprison trans kids' parents two weeks ago.

For inexplicable reasons Geddy Lee once bought something at my local grocery store. I stood in line beside him and said nothing. Nothing at all. Was playing it very cool. But now I wished I’d memorized what he bought.

Juli Zeh erzählt „auch“ als Juristin auch in diesem Punkt Quatsch. Das BVerfG hat 2022 klargestellt: Es gibt keine Rechtsregel und keinen Rechtsgrundsatz, wonach die AfD Bundestagsvizepräsidenten und Ausschussvorsitzende stellen muss. taz.de/Juli-Zeh-ueb...

I must presume you are all hearing my deep guttural laugh right now.

Everything she says is a lie.

1/ Die SZ stellte die Tage eine so relevante, wie unbequeme Frage: Welche Rolle spielt Peter Thiel & Springer bei der geplanten Milliarden-Beschaffung von Kampfdrohnen für die Bundeswehr? 🧵 Spoiler: Es geht dabei um mehr als Rüstung – es geht um demokratische Ordnung.

Been seeing a few people outright claim that studies that outline specific reasons why Large Language Models won't lead to "Artificial General Intelligence" are "whitewashing creationism", because apparently showing that a task isn't feasible somehow affirms the existence of a divine soul

Ah, funny. Let’s assess how someone can mask their lack of knowledge by how flowery and wordy their chatty talk is when they try to fill the time with not knowing.

George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016. He will be remembered for his incredible songwriting talent, his gorgeous vocals and for the greatest non-apology video of all time, following his arrest for cottaging.

"Wie Juli Zeh zu behaupten, dass die Brandmauer im vergangenen Jahrzehnt nichts genützt hätte, ist jedenfalls ungefähr so logisch wie zu sagen, dass der Neujahrsvorsatz, mehr Sport zu treiben, sich in den letzten Jahren nicht bewährt hätte – ohne sich jemals beim Fitnessstudio angemeldet zu haben."

You can dislike much of what Klein is being paid for and the following statement is still true: Klein is practicing being paid in exactly the right way. /s

David Frum's latest anti-Native rights piece in the Atlantic is so misinformed, so carelessly put together that he confused the band number with the population. Kwikwetlem is band code 560 - an administrative number from ISC. The population is 153. 1

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Everyone should boycott any Hampton Inn unto perpetuity for this disgusting policy. There goes anybody but for the grace of a paycheck or violence. All sorts of things befall people, never imagine you are beyond being homeless. I've been homeless because of a violent neighbour.

Note the adjectives and adverbs. Academics „literally“ can’t do a thing; that thing is „not possible“ for them. But look they are also „responsible“ to somehow address this thing through pedagogy. Transparent, I would say.

If you are saying universal healthcare *cant* realistically happen with our current political system and economy you should be advocating for revolution to overthrow that system instead of being ok with no universal healthcare

When you definitely have not been hornswoggled into filing an expensive lawsuit by a Florida ambulance chaser whose whole deal is filing Donald Trump’s nuisance suits

Erm, wut?

A significant amount of safety research has existed for decades on Human Machine Interfaces proving exactly this. It's exhausting to watch money and effort wasted in a tech hype cycle to constantly undo and redo what we already know in safety engineering.

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

Browser makers' goal is to have an LLM use their AI browser to browse AI generated slop. Forever.

Cry harder (and stop trying to undermine the civil service). Oh and Hadley? Stick to defending paedophiles

i don't think software engineers can call themselves that unless they, like real engineers, have a little imprimatur on their code that says "if this code kills someone I will go to jail"

Ah yeah Matt, congrats on the “Samizdat Prize.” Incredible stuff.

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

University administrators around the US reading this, making sure to check with the legal department to be sure they are safeguards in place regarding liability

Foggy chill.

Agree I worked in a school for children with profound disabilities and had to counter argue weekly with non disabled people who said “chat gpt is a disability aid, it helps students to write”. No, it does not, and in fact it steals work from other disabled creators- it isn’t safe or an aid.

These odd defensive maneuvers around FIRE just drag on and drag on, don’t they.

“Went viral” is an old stock phrase in journalism that really does not capture the dynamic of how X dot Com has been tuned to give people like the one specific legislator here the power to intentionally cause this kind of outcome

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.
