TFW your model trained on Reddit data. Someone should also ask if they should leave their partner because they forgot to put the cap on the toothpaste tube or if their tv is mounted too high on the wall

The whole administration is really giving that king from the little prince who was in charge of everything but only would order things and people to do things they were already going to do anyway

Oh look a faint tiny sign of life from the interests of capital accumulation

Wait did they plan the rapture for Rosh Hashanah on purpose?

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

I grew up in the 90s and back then the there were scandals that lasted years over blasphemy that wasn’t even close to this bad

This piece argues we’re in not one, but three AI bubbles: 1. a financial bubble with inflated valuations, 2. an infrastructure bubble with overbuilt data centers, 3. a hype bubble where AI can’t meet its promises. Honestly, all three seem highly likely to me.

This 100%. Something that will help with winning and also the day after we win is starting to talk about the real concrete things we are going to do to revive democracy and avoid another Biden interregnum. How are we going to hold people accountable, dismantle white supremacy, house people, etc

We should have a lot of debates about whether this a good idea but it’s also important to be 100% clear this was not a chatbot but a purpose built model. ”AI” models are incredibly powerful but chatbots are an intellectual and societal dead end and a whole lot of provosts are distracted by them

Oh

we had a professor in my masters program who wrote a whole ass essay on “how to read for academia” and it was exactly this but as horrible advice. He’s also somewhat famous in my field and has at least one essay where he writes about Heidegger and it‘s clear he has no idea what he’s talking about 🙃

I got some press release yesterday from an AI security firm claiming that in fact security firms were winning the AI wars. And I thought, yeah no. But second—the fact that you're calling them "wars" says everything I need to know.

Absolutely amazing. I truly think AI is leading not to super intelligence but instead to the end of the internet and networked computing (aside from maybe disconnected organization wide intranets)

Shawarma paper but the bribe would just be the food itself

See now if the democrats were an organized party or say had any desire to ever win they’d take an issue like this (honestly anything but something easy like not taking bribes) and use the senate to shut down the whole government until this guy leaves. Take the W and move on to the next one

It’s also going to hit hospitals incredibly hard. According to a 2017 study I found. Michigan has the highest percentage of care doctors on H-1B visas (nearly 4% of doctors)

The 100K fee for H-1B visas (yearly!) is reported as a hit on tech -- but it is a hit on universities. It will make it impossible for us to hire foreign visitors, or foreign scholars into tenure track positions--I think almost 40% of H-1Bs go to universities and university hospitals.

Oh, AI is bad at summarizing scientific articles? Is the pope from Chicago?

My “I’m just following orders” letter has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my letter

Building data centers is a way to (territorially) rebuild/maintain empire, as fossil fuel gets (necessarily) replaced by solar energy — I can see no other reason to invest in AI infrastructure, as a technology it has no business model …beyond worldbuilding….

My professional opinion on the current state of affairs

Update: I’m so happy she is excited about a musical instrument but I might not survive this. it has been non stop recorded every night

But sure, trust these bozos with your mind, future, and well-being. 😞

This has the vibe of the magic show I tried to do for my family when I was 7. Ten min of saying “oookeydoke,” fumbling w/cards, and feeling my face break out in sweat while my little sister body slammed the cat from the back of the sofa and my parents tried not to fall over themselves laughing

This whole video right up to the end is amazing. It’s kind of satisfying watching him have to deal with how shitty the technology they’re trying to force on us is. I miss when things used to work

I know everything is terrible right now but I’m case you want to hear something good, my daughter couldn’t sleep last night because she was so ridiculously excited about getting her recorder in her 4th grade music class today. And she’s been playing hot cross buns all night

My ideas are complicated, the articulation even more unclear and I’m even difficult to get along with. I gladly accept the speaking invitation

Trump approval is very far underwater and the impact of how badly he’s mishandled the economy hasn‘t even really hit at all. I think things are going to turn very quickly even if the media, the oligarchs and trumps buddies are going to try to wylie e coyote it but things can change fast

It would be hilarious if the bluesky people rolled out a tik tok clone ready to go just as the new app launches

I know it’s been a very long road to get here but I do feel like the Dems folding rather than doubling down on the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and made up claims of voter fraud was one of the very early steps on the way to this moment

Only slightly unrelated but this summer some colleagues and I spent a week together with no Internet and the conversations we had were amazing. We didn’t have to but ended up hanging out for 6-7 hrs a day just talking about the world. It was exhilarating. highly recommend

The only correct way to use the internet has always been: click on link; go make sandwich; come back read a single fan webpage about a star war; turn off computer and go outside for the rest of the day

Honestly looks more fun than finding bicycles

I am now 100% convinced that most of the top admin at American universities are now terminally reliant on AI to function, encasing them in a completely alien alternate reality. As in, they are using it WAY more than the undergrads are.

NOT NOW, WE’RE BUSY

Wtf this is how I found out. Video is crazy

We just call them days now.

I mean the uncredentialed leader of public health is also listening to someone who says acetaminophen causes neurodivergence. Either this is another case of tabloid quality misdirection or it's real and I can hitchhike to a more civilized age. Regardless I'm busy until there's an action item.

This is the weirdest goddamn timeline and I’d like off now, please.

Tenure won’t save you.
