Why do they keep promising us a good time?

Elif moans, "I'm freezing!" Joan cries, "I'm cold!" Jude groans, "I'm shivering!" Ahmed shouts, "We're dead!" Jamil cries, "We're lost! These are my five kids, they're homeless because of the rain. I need $150 to buy tent urgent urgent 🥶🥹 Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

Lina is struggling to care for her family, including her severely injured husband who's at risk of amputation, her mother-in-law with bone cancer, & a 1 yo baby, under Israel's genocide, which has left them homeless & starving in winter. Please help them survive (just 438 dollars raised):

Well, we’ve found the most depraved post.

The University of St. Andrews is offering Master’s scholarships to two Palestinian students. www.st-andrews.ac.uk/study/fees-a...

The University of Oklahoma has stripped the graduate student who gave a failing grade to Samantha Fulnecky of instructional duties, calling their grading in this case “arbitrary.” This is a disgraceful capitulation by a university to those who seek to destroy it.

Lived in Oklahoma for 17 years, wife did graduate work at OU, still know people affiliated there. Admin was content to play its part in this little fascist farce.

disgraceful is right

Let this part sink in: he didn’t get the job because he refused to turn in a complete application but blames it on not that. JFC I don’t know what levels of entitlement and dissonance you need to be like this. My head hurts.

People are saying Trump’s name recurs 600+ times…

😍😍😍

You didn’t have to violate any principles. You just needed to say you’ll run a research group in which people will be valued irrespective of gender or race. You might even add that you’ll be delighted to do some outreach that will explain exciting scientific ideas to, for example, high-school kids.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’m fuckin’ shocked

Lmfao “I didn’t get the job because I’m white” says the guy who didn’t submit a complete application Can’t make this stuff up

Dawg...

Preparing his job materials.

Hey look, it’s our friend Colin Wright ‘defending’ his ‘principled’ decision not to submit diversity statements in applications for jobs requiring diversity statements. (You will recall he complained bitterly about not being hired for the jobs for which he refused to fill out required materials.)

Kill me now.

ICE has hired bounty hunters to locate migrants for abduction.

There are no shortcuts 💯

Myheart broken,Im crying with pain Tonight,myfamily will be freezing even more than before.They sleeping onstreet,exposed to bitter cold.Weneed toprovide them shelter,warm clothes,we need £500 very urgent 💔🥶😭 It's a matter of life or death Verified @mommunism.bsky.social tinyurl.com/Support-my-f...

Whose labour will be used to root out this garbage? I wonder 😒 Publishers welcome AI for screening papers. They also want to expand volume, weakening the quality and reliability of their product in the process. Everything Gen AI touches turns to shit.

What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

The funny thing about this is that the problems with LLMs and research are at the bottom of the list of reasons not to participate in this repugnant grift.

Being familiar with the literature is what makes you an ‘expert.’ Having a LLM summarize literature for you makes you nothing. No one said it was easy to learn. Much as you might wish it, there are no shortcuts.

This is what MAGA always meant: reasserting white supremacy as the explicit project of the nation.

The people saying this are NEVER researchers.

Tents are desperately needed in Gaza.

I’m always interested in how government works so I wonder if the system would get clogged up if ten million white men who didn’t play past 9th grade accused the NBA of discrimination.

“actually AI can be a really useful research tool if you use it properly” 🚩🚩🚩

Presented without comment.

This!

Spectacular is right.

AI causes so much extra work. You have to check and double check everything.

"I'm not saying that tech bosses are making bets they don't plan on winning. But I am saying that winning the bet [...] is the secondary goal. The primary goal is to keep the market convinced that your company will continue to grow, and to remain convinced until the next bubble comes along."

But red meat is actually pretty bad for you, especially if too much is consumed over a short period of time and it’s terrible for the environment.

ai bro just quadrupling down

It’s finally over.. lol

This was the last straw that finally got me blocked. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
