I really think that people not knowing how to learn things and then think about them is a huge problem.

YES.

Every time we are expected to say “AI has SOME good uses”, even though the kind currently discussed (the slop producing kind) is not the same thing as the “good at spotting statistical anomalies” kind, and that disingenuous bullshit is to try to make people shut up about the slop engines!
This is specifically about AI use in humanities disciplines within academia, which is clear from context- this crap is extremely harmful in that setting. Inevitably, people show up to be like "AI finds cancer cells tho".

NOT THE SUBJECT, and that conflation has been inflicted upon us intentionally.
You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

Day 20 of #InsectAdvent

Nearly there, eyes on the prize of Christmas Day. Talking of eyes, some of the best eyed creatures are stalk-eyed flies including Plagoiocephalus latifrons (image @bertonemyia.bsky.social) we saw in Costa Rica

A gray wolf named Cero
He was 18 years old.
He passed away on August 13, 2025.
He was the last surviving member of his pack.

I've drawn over 110 animal works over my 408 days of activity, but this is the first one I've given a title to.

En 2017, Emmanuel Macron reçoit un œuf sur le visage. Ce qui fait bien rire Jordan Bardella à l'époque, avec un jeu de mots sur ses réseaux sociaux. En 2025, ce même Bardella reçoit un œuf sur le visage : c'est une horrible «brutalisation du débat démocratique».
Quand Bardella se moquait de Macron qui avait reçu un œuf
En 2017, celui qui n’était pas encore Président reçoit un œuf sur le visage. Ce qui avait bien fait rire le lepéniste, aujourd’hui scandalisé d’avoir essuyé le même projectile, samedi 29 novembre dans le Tarn-et-Garonne.

Today is the first of 25 days of #Crustmas! Post as many crustaceans as possible! (not just crabs) 🦑🧪

This year I'm less personally inclined towards "crabs are the ultimate form", and my piece below explains why.

PS all posts will be right here on the crab feed 🦀

my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU!

This fight over “should authors get paid for their work” debate boils down to this: many, MANY people do not see art as labor.
If art isn’t labor, then you don’t have to change your political views to justify piracy. Easy peasy!

Aussi puant que terrifiant, à fortiori dans un pays qui chaque jour un peu plus érige la gauche (même la plus molle) en fanatisme mortel & où le pouvoir s’est illustré à plusieurs reprises par ses propos négationnistes, ses références supremacistes & ses politiques racistes.
Au-delà des garanties d'anonymat, le fait de produire des statistiques sur les orientations politiques des agents de la fonction publique ne peut QUE mener à les jeter à la vindicte de médias ultra orientés, alors que la seule question est de savoir s'ils font bien leur travail.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
