One of the most conservative organizations in the world, again, selects a leader who seems more moderate, passionate, and reasonable than most leaders of conservative political parties.

Trump's new obsession with naming things after him while in office is not exactly a sign of confidence that history will judge him positively.

They say they have a voter mandate to deport migrants -- then voters have a right to see how this "mandate" is playing out.

If Joe Biden or Barack Obama had invited in a random CEO & hundreds of people w/o any security clearances or even federal jobs to cancel billions spending & destroy federal agencies established by law & Congress, it would be a nonstop national scandal, & we wouldn’t be hearing about “transformation”

My point mainly was to question a position that categorically rejects LLMs from research. A more productive discourse, I'd argue, is debating the boundaries of responsible and ethical use of LLMs rather than a wholesale ban.

Kyle - what about debugging code? Classifying text (e.g. parliamentary speeches)? Going back and forth on options to improve research design? Not every use of AI is about writing one’s paper.

Criticizing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians? "Antisemitism."

Right-wing figures spewing actual bigotry about Jews controlling Hollywood and Finance? "Just asking legitimate questions about power."

The double standard is deafening.

I agree. They try to silence us in other ways, though.

Kevin, for sure. But they also assume that admission to USA colleges is the beginning of a path to a longer-term stay in the USA, which they wish to eliminate.

Part of their motivation is to also shrink the size of the higher ed sector dramatically.

They sure want the number of foreign students to drop to zero.

We are still in the "concept of a plan" phase.

Ferrero was more consequential than Cahill. The growing involvement of Alcaraz's family in his career will not do him any good.

I think both the university and the Providence police. Every building should have at a minimum a swipe-in door and a functional video camera capturing who gets in.

guygrossman.bsky.social
Guy Grossman @guygrossman.bsky.social · 7d
A bit of escapism:

I predict that Alcaraz will not be able to be a serious rival to Sinner without Ferrero.

Yes, our inability to effectively restrict gun access (primarily due to a SCOTUS' ideological interpretation of the 2A) is a stain on our nation.

But my beef is also with a security failure in the face of a reality where guns are so ubiquitous and mass shootings occur daily.

Some of the responses to Rachel's thread are beyond depressing, and suggest that many on this site think that merely believing that Jews have a right to a sovereign state makes them a legitimate target.

I'll say it again: if any other ethnic or religious minority said "please don't use this particular term or chant, you might not have bad intentions but it is deeply racist and threatening to us", the reaction would be mortified apology.

And that's without a mass terror event four days ago

Amazing that a guy can walk freely into a university building, open fire, kill and injure students, then walk out of the building and walk away, and five days later, we still don't know who he is or where he is—a security failure of epic proportions.
