Both USAian and Canadian (this justifies my silly username)

Antifascist. Pro-people. Love me some music. Sometimes I make it. Love photos. Sometimes I take them. Love my kid. Always & forever.

Academic who likes academia as a friend.

I'm sure my employers disagree with much of what I post.

he/him or whatever, as long as it's not directly, personally insulting

Alt-text: Gimme a minute after I post before reminding me.

I sometimes obscure my employers (to protect me, not them)

When you see a man who's broken	Pick him up and carry him
When you see a woman who's broken	Put her all into your arms
b/c we don't know where we come from	we don't know what we are
and you	you're no one
and you	you're falling
and you	you're traveling... at the speed of light

First, Amalek is the enemy WITHIN OURSELVES. We're supposed to eradicate Amalek from WITHIN OURSELVES.

Second, Amalek is the only exception to the commandments against erasure and killing.

I have a feeling many of us know the story of Anne Frank

I'm thinking of starting a campus student club called something like "people who want to fucking learn shit" and it would be about finding and using techniques to learn while rejecting techniques to get grades and degrees without learning.

Just a reminder that this is not a win.

Disbarment and prosecution is the win. This is merely rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

@bodil i think this all seems to fit quite neatly within the framework which says that AI is primarily a political project aiming to discipline labour and undermine the idea that expertise is valuable, and the tech itself is kind of secondary. The “sound engineering practices” assurances are either disingenuous or they’re from people who have been fooled

I'm exhausted from doing a job that isn't as much fun as when I started. Isn't there some person with ridiculous intergenerational wealth who wants to give a few million dollars to a deserving young person?

I'm neither of those things, but I'd like some, too.

I feel this. Because of my research field I have frequently had to filter results so I don't get 10,000 hits for agricultral research on the grain-type plant called rape (see: rapeseed oil, which was rebranded as canola oil).
