People using AI for flyers in my field is exhausting.

This is great and holds for Buddhists (I'm only lay). It violates the precepts *do no harm *do not take the not given (dont steal or benefit from theft) *abstain from false speech (it is a false speech generating machine) I'm going to look up if a tradition has actually made statements like this

"Verify your age" You merely adopted the internet, I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see broadband until I was already a man.

I've failed 3 students and 10 dropped out of 30. AI is a curse. In person teaching is the only solution.

CEO Reveals How He Used AI To Build One-Person Company That's $1.3 Billion In Debt

Note to self

Hey #CA anyone looking for something fun quick and dirty on local politics?

I have a foolproof way to make sure that your papers contain absolutely no fake references . . . . . read the papers you cite.

Well of course that's what you'll find in a third world country like the US. You want to see the developed world try Vietnam or Brazil. Sheesh.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

Bouba woke with a start, her strong, round arms reaching out to grab a weapon. "You're safe. I healed you." A comforting voice. Bouba looked. A skinny witch, all angles, smiled at her. "Kiki?" "Long time no see. When did you get so hard?" The big warrior laughed. "When did you get so soft?"

So much pseudoscience perverting the course of justice. Along with bite mark forensics, let's call out other approaches such as the polygraph, voice stress analysis, and SCAN, and label them what they truly are - junk science.

I take such a hard-line on AI use in my classes that I'm sensitive about *completely* losing AI-pilled business bros who take comm majors (after flunking business) that a parrot a responsible use rhetoric. But its a smoke screen to keep them listening to me (and listening to my arguments about it)

It wasn’t lost on me that AIs were feminized (Siri, Cortana) until they started to be used as creative/coding tools and then suddenly gained masculine identities (Claude, etc)

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

It is stunning to me that data centres are not required to be carbon neutral. Put solar panels in these Texas and California centres for Christ's sake.

Vacay away.

Summer course teachers, what do you do when students miss 1-2 weeks of a compressed 5 week course? 5/30 students just expected they could start week 2 (and likely only after seeing an F). Is this normal? I'm trying to help the sincere and contrite ones catch up but it's such a mess.

“Fundamental science, the argument goes, is a luxury that becomes dispensable when budgets are tight. This premise is wrong, and the consequences of acting on it are already visible.” 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Come with me and you'll be / in a world of abject exploitation

At the #icca2026 @iscaupdates.bsky.social general assembly I observed that the resources currently offered to the public and to members are quite skewed towards only one CA founder, and called for more visibility for the others. Specifically, how cool would it be to have Sacks' Nachlass digitalised?
