Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Remember how we always talk about there being many, many ways to resist? This may seem like a small one, but it’s actually HUGE.

This administration is absolutely hell bent on the eugenics of the disabled and chronically ill.

Wearing a health mask is an ENORMOUS act of resistance.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

The centrist democratic position between 2006-2016ish was all “lean orgs!” And I kept saying, “oh yes sure make it easier for stable institutions to break.” We need to own how much our bleating about bureaucratic efficiencies created an easier-to-capture university.

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

Oldtober day 19, and something entirely not RPG related at all! It’s a rat, for @haleyv.bsky.social.

Excited to share our new publication on the impact of #THC exposure during gestation on brain development. This stunning work, led by Lani Cupo, describes several years of datas collection and examines brain development and maturation using MRI and behaviour

Does anyone know of a funding agency that asks applicants not to use genAI in their grants? Trying to develop a framework about this, so seeing examples would be great. Unfortunately the 🇨🇦 Tri-council statement is disappointing on this.

I'm looking forward to speaking at @canacn.bsky.social's annual meeting tomorrow! I’ll be talking about all things #Cannabis, including our current preclinical and human research that is relevant to policy and expanding consumer knowledge.

Thrilled to share a new article! We found a decline in the male-to-female ratio of lifetime cannabis use prevalence among adults in Ontario, (maybe in adults aged 30 or older only?)

Huge thanks to my co-authors @camhnews.bsky.social
