This skeet will self destruct

This is particularly funny because it’s exactly what an an NPR reporter was doing yesterday when he said Claude “implicated itself” in something…

Any good sociological work on covers out there? (might be teaching a class on pop culture and for some reason I have a fascination with covers with Cake‘s I Will Survive being in the top 5)

I want to sincerely thank Florida for plugging some of the hole of the demographic cliff by emptying its classrooms.

My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.

Whatever reckoning comes from this will have to include total accountability for this kind of inexcusable actions, all the way down the chain of command.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Wishing you a better evening than whatever Noem is having!

Once toured the uranium reprocessing facility at Isfahan.

For some reason, makes me think of cousins unable to decide which item to share from the menu.

May Noem's collagen melt into her brain and cause a deadly abscess.

There is so much bullshit paperwork in higher ed. Tons of bureaucracy to propose courses that are then *never* evaluated after they are approved, for example. Pure ritualistic nonsense for compliance's sake.

You know what would be way more efficient than having to justify things like "Why is the selected course format appropriate for this particular course?" in new course submissions *every* *single* *fucking* *time*? Getting faculty to certify on some pedagogy and then trusting they know their thing.

people don’t actually want solutions; they just want to retain the ability to complain.

Is it Finland that has traffic fines as a proportion of income? “Student and drive a Maserati? That’s $50,000 for you”

Alternatively, the student may opt for a high stakes oral examination by the same panel of 3.

"But JP! How would they prove this anyway?"
Let the regulation read: "If a panel of 3 professors finds evidence of academic dishonesty sufficiently convincing with regards to the use of AI, the student will be required to pay X to compensate for additional burdens placed on the university"

The lack of sticks (we have plenty carrots) is an issue. The stakes for academic dishonesty are so low given the burden of proof that profs need to meet. If, say, there were a $5,000 fine per event...

I'm begging news orgs: please, have some technical literacy before you have your reporters write that an AI "implicated" itself in anything.

I'm concerned about the background knowledge on AI that reporters on AI have...

If you wanted any clearer evidence that Shield has been infiltrated by Hydra

an LLM chatbot cannot "implicate itself" in anything, it is a category error to imagine that it can. It does not "know" or "understand" anything (such as what words mean or whether its output is true or false) because it is not a being and does not have a mind.

In case you were wondering how the Chancellor of the Exchequer should balance the budget.

What's up with the Nazi-esque outfit?

Good news: I might have a beachside property in retirement, after all!

Bad news: the water might be boiling

I'd love reading that, too

How to say "The dog is brown" in Bourdieuspeak

Because it’s the NYT!

Just out of kicks, asked an LLM to adopt the style of Bourdieu and apply it to some NYT sub headlines.

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(
