an important part of staying sane in the academy is to not get swept up in endless minutiae and navel gazing. you can't lose the ability to look at something and be like that's fucking stupid guys.
Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics.
That’s…not the problem.

"what if an AI designed a mirror image life bioweapon" bro it's currently cooking the brains of every two bit ruling class tech CEO
"What if an AI drifts into non-alignment", they spent months wondering, while Elon drills a hole through the ear of the model they licensed him and pours in a gallon of daft white genocide theories.

btw watched 28 years later on the flight home. pretty good. legitimately love when the director decides to drive the movie at 80 mph into a wall at the very end.

I think our media betters find the conservative movement to be broadly agreeable because they too had their grades changed by complaining to the manager hard enough

used to be when you were offline for a few days you could sort of delude yourself into thinking maybe everything had gotten better but now even if you're in the middle of nowhere, completely disconnected, you can feel, just in the air, that somehow it's now even worse than you can imagine

if there's an easy diagnosis to be made for whatever realignment we're going through it's gender polarization and educational polarization and so the fact that the right is pivoting really hard against biology is maybe not that shocking in retrospect
At its most benign this calls for some indigenous knowledge systems to be incorporated into and to supplement 'Western' science, in its worst it calls for things like witchcraft to be recognised as equally valid 'knowledge paradigms'. Also has been coopted by reactionaries in postcolonial countries.

he's been extremely loyal to: Bolsonaro, Putin, Milei, MbS. it's the people he doesn't control, the people he sees as peers, idols, ideological fellow travelers. anyone who works for him can go into the wood chipper.
I continue to not understand why a single person ever—ever—goes out on a limb for Trump considering that one of the most consistent things about him is he will dump whomever he needs to the second it becomes necessary to save his own skin.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

I think we should all see the MRIs
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

do you motherfuckers know how many scientists are/were communists what the hell
Science and technology are not “capitalism.” They are not capitalist “ways of synthesizing information,” except in the sense that they can be useful to capitalism, which is certainly true, but the humanities are also useful to capitalism. You think companies can’t use people who know how to read?

Giving Trump what he wants is like feeding a seagull. All you have done is teach him that he can get more.
The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:
-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor
Fools.

to the extent that "AI" has been really useful in my life it's been in applying it to data sets that are very large and that we don't intuitively understand (genomics, protein structure). it's weird to me that people keep making it try to write emails.
This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.
Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M

I think about it like car companies. Once cars got good there wasn’t a push for GM to make something new beyond the car, or to reinvent the car, they were allowed to refine and improve, with mixed results. All of the tech companies are racing to make The Homer and don’t realize it.
