“While generative AI can do amazing things, it is also perhaps the most wasteful use of a computer ever devised. If you do 1+1 on a calculator, that’s one calculation. If you do 1+1 in generative AI, that is potentially a trillion calculations to get an answer....” Andy Wu

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

Fantastic news for the fight to #DefendResearch!!

Make Uber aware and if they don’t do anything, add them to the boycott list

I’m just doing my #ConfictOfInterest training as a commissioner for Brookline Commission of the Arts & OMG 5 minutes in and I’m already appalled by how blatantly so many of our politicians are flouting them. I mean I knew it but this is really bringing it home to me

If you’re in the #BayArea on December 9 I strongly encourage you to sign up for this @lecturesontap.bsky.social on #censorship by my fellow #DefendResearch declaration colleague @lschiff.bsky.social www.eventbrite.com/e/lectures-o...

More garbage from Grokipedia www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

And contrary to what the scaremongers claimed those millionaires didn’t all flee MA because, well, it’s a nice place to live and their tax dollars go towards making it nicer for everyone…

I am so guilty of this!!!! 😂😳🥰 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Keep thinking about this new article about "racket sociality"... A concept I think we might be using a lot in the coming years...

I love this!! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Last night I had the great pleasure of hearing my friend @kawulf.bsky.social talk about her book Lineage at the RI Historical Society - such a treat 🥰

I just don’t have the words any more…

The war on science is going to turn getting a PhD into something only the wealthy can do. Which I suspect is something the administration is perfectly comfortable with.

Great turnout & inspiring speeches at #NoKings in Providence today - combined with Women’s Week/Dyke March. A good reminder of all that’s best about this country. I especially loved the lobstahs 🥰💪🦞

A propos of absolutely nothing - I got my highest ever scrabble score today. 584 points!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Ugh 🤬😢

"The story of diamond #OA is still being written. Its rise reflects a powerful shift toward scholarly communication as a public good.. But... ideals alone cannot sustain journals." Great post on @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social by my fellow chef Maryam Sayab scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/10/15/d...

With just $800 in basic equipment, researchers found a stunning variety of data—including thousands of T-Mobile users’ calls and texts and even US military communications—sent by satellites unencrypted.

And people wonder why #DEIA initiatives are needed (spoiler alert - it’s not because white men are underprivileged) www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

💯

I’m truly delighted to see this & kudos to Sally Kornbluth for taking a stand to #DefendResearch at @mit.edu - but think how much more powerful it would have been if all 9 institutions had stood together to resist 💪💪💪 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/10/m...

Looking forward to it!
