www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o... This Ezra Klein piece on how the adopters are using— being used by?— LLMs is horrifying. It hardens my resistance to ever turning one of these toys on at the same time that it makes me more sure that I'm going to be completely out of step and behind as a result.

Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010. buff.ly/hsm3JlY #ShareGoodNewsToo

A Berlin court has ordered X to grant researchers API access under the Digital Services Act. Daniela Alvarado Rincón, Simone Ruf and Jürgen Bering explain how they won the case, and why it’s a major step for researcher data access.

There indeed is so much to fight for, and in some countries (looking at you, US), some old fights have become new fights. One thing (academic) men can do is not participate in manels! It can be uncomfortable at times but it is also still necessary. Here’s my experience: 🧵

My book, "Inequality - the view from manywheres," is now available for preorder! "A pioneering journey into capitalism's past, present, and possible futures – revealing what inequality means for humanity's next chapter." If you could like to pre-order the book, you can do so in multiple places:

LLMs will usher in a democratization of intellect. Now you too can have a junior (AI) scholar that you can blame for errors and fraud. Previously, only the top scholars had access to that kind of power.

I'm a cognitive scientist with an interest in epistemic vigilance, and this essay that's been going around gave me pause. I don't think it's straightforward to apply the concept of epistemic vigilance to interactions with LLMs, as this essay does. 🧵/ sbgeoaiphd.github.io/rotating_the...
