Centrist/liberal Dems' response to DSA's sweep in NYC reminds me of this passage from Victor Navasky's Naming Names, his book on McCarthyism:

Yesterday I unsubscribed from an email list, got a confirmation about this, and then received the company’s usual email blast four hours later. If this happens you should get to have the CEO’s phone number so you can bother them at home.

It's really notable how much the tech sector has just tossed aside any pretense of ethical, environmental, social, or personal responsibility over the past five years. Explicable, but still head-spinning #facct2026 #facct26

I’m watching programmers basically fuzzing themselves to an implementation. Write lots of tests, or specs, then have an LLM generate stuff and test it against the spec, iterate to infinity until it’s «good enough». The implementation is black box. Jesus, our field has digressed decades.

The closer we all, including so-called "non-native" speakers, get to the imperial core, the corrections spill out because as interpersonal proximity is smaller, they can exercise the nonsense corrections as the OP explains.

it's not a coincidence the main study cited is also exactly one where participants will have been exposed to one of the most vicious, if not the most, ideological and material white supremacies possible at present

My official linguist view is that most of what so-called "native speakers" feel compelled to "correct" in others has nothing to do with how the language works, or clarity, and everything to do with markers of whether someone belongs to a particular community. For English, this means white supremacy.

For my academic friends, this is a really enjoyable podcast. The hosts ask excellent questions and the guests provide really open answers about how they structure their working days.

A phenomenon I've noticed recently is people trying to occupy some untenable middleground wrt to the use of systems sold as "AI" -- this is a position where people try to recognize the harms of this tech but also hold space for "responsible" or "ethical" use. 🧵>>

It was absolutely a gift to have you with us @ethankutlu.bsky.social 🙏✨❤️

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

17 months of work fed to a slop machine because someone could t be bothered to read the chapter summaries. I know we made it open access, but please show some respect to your academic colleagues time and energy.

Great thread by EMB, and a lot of the common moves that we come across when people defend systems sold as "AI". I would add another which is the deployment of the term "guardrails", which is a meaningless term, especially in the labor policy space.

There's something deliciously ironic about Ford--the assembly line innovator--having to hire back veteran engineers to fix quality problems induced by AI. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Someone please invite me for a book talk where we chat about AI Hype between powerlifting sets

First, there's this little overview video that comes pretty close to saying the quiet part out loud. The purpose here seems to be concerns that UW staff/students/faculty will turn to external/commercial sources and in so doing violate UW data handling rules. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKyA... >>

When I was recording with the CBC yesterday, a Canadian pollster said that the only people who had a majority positive view of "AI" were people who earned more than $200k. I scrawled "class war" in my notes.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

Oh no! That was my emotional support economic bubble!!

Companies encouraged employees to use AI and now they’re spending gobs of cash on tokens for employees to convert documents to PDF😅 “Leaked audio from Accenture says a big source of AI token ‘chewing’ is people just converting PDFs to presentation slides” www.404media.co/the-tokenpoc...

It only counts as intellectual property is they create it. If you create something, that neither intellectual nor property that they have to respect.

...I've held my nose and voted for centrist Dems more times than I can count because I didn't want the opposing Republican to win. centrist Dems who won't do the same when a progressive is on the ballot are giving away what side they are really on

I don’t understand why more engineers aren’t outraged that they were targeted to receive a standard substandard professional education that enabled them to program the new machines, but not to understand the social assemblages and responsibilities that this programming entangled them into.

A friend described it succinctly as “like living inside of a mouth.”

Are you annoyed with the anthropomorphizing language being used in the "AI" discourse, but not sure how to talk about this stuff without it? @nannainie.bsky.social and I have got you covered: buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...
