SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
Figure 1: The important dimensions of CAILs across research and education; clockwise from 12 o’clock: Con- ceptual Clarity is the idea that terms should refer. Critical Thinking is deep engagement with the relationships between statements about the world. Decoloniality is the process of de-centring and addressing dominant harmful views and practices. Respecting Expertise is the epistemic compact between professionals and society. Slow Science is a disposition towards preferring psychologically, techno-socially, and epistemically healthy practices. The lines between dimensions represent how they are interwoven both directly and indirectly.
New preprint! @marentierra.bsky.social @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I have been working on what CAIL means to showcase & propagate the idea of thinking very differently to tech industry norms on "artificial intelligence"

the cartoon Ed, Edd, and Eddy is the perfect archetype of silicon valley tech capitalism. You have the neurotic inventor, the brash know nothing leader trying to enclose the market seek rent with shitty contraptions, and the "degen" goofball.

And so much "emergent behavior" is more or less theatre. Maybe theatre / frame analysis and roleplay is actually a productive way to view what llms do to archives/datasets? Ppl keep falling for it after all www.technologyreview.com/2026/02/06/1...
I dont have a nlp or ai bg and Its so hard to try to do anything creative with LLMs that actually works with what they really are and how they behave that doesnt fall into the metaphors at play around them. open.substack.com/pub/cybernet...
Distillation and such reminds me of how the UK "decants" people from their housing estates. the AI potency language also rhymes with drugs, dabs and strains, and sure enough someone is trying to hawk drugs for your agent. They get to have all the fun now.. www.pharmaicy.store
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
We are lost without an anti-war party. National repression (ICE, the cops, silencing speech, etc.) are not separate from international oppression (war, assassinations, occupation). Any party that addresses only one side is at best buying time, at worst stalling.
I like the one where they go to the lowtech communitarian planet and it's great until they find the 'punishment box'. and also the Voyager ep where their own "AI doctor" investigates the hospital run by eugenic AI healthcare allocator. + the TNGs w/ Barclay and Geordie's AI addictions.
reposting this old piece of mine on military "ai," since the issues in it are likely to become live again.
Had to take my agent in for an alignment
highly rec this @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social story on sunnyside yard nyra.nyc/articles/ava...
i cannot stop thinking about this man, who survived the Rohingya genocide but couldn’t survive border patrol. “He died trying to get home” is a gut punch
10 hour study with me at Columbia showing lunch
Her in the library
DHS illegally arrested me please help Text against image of her knees
Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

I’m quoted quite a bit here so perhaps I’m biased but I feel this is a good run down of what the Epstein files tell us about how power works in academia. with some good commentary from @jessicacalarco.com, too:
Claude, soon: "I've found an element in the network that can be streamlined."
A judge threatened contempt when Zuckerberg's team wore Meta Ray-Bans, cameras disguised as eyewear, into a no-recording courtroom.

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.
The Dept. of War started announcing WEXMAC TITUS awardees in September, and the most recent list dropped on Friday.
One new vendor is GEO Group, the private prison company that already runs some of ICE's most brutal prisons. CoreCivic, another private prison group, was an earlier awardee.
NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.
Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:
Quite a day: Catholic clergy gained access to the Broadview, IL ICE facility this afternoon, and Church & state officials joined a mass & procession honoring immigrants this evening.
I hope my coverage today was useful, and as always, I appreciate any support you may wish to offer for my work.
In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.
incredibly compact plumbing wall
the home with just a single wall that all plumbing goes to for kitchen (sink/DW), 2 full baths (back to back) and laundry closet is slickest thing i've ever seen. right up my alley. so compact.
and nothing on the exterior wall.
it's perfect.
