Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Damn.
My employer Canterbury Shaker Village lost a small NEH grant. I wrote it. I used words such as "equality" and "citizenship." The same words were used in CHATGPT to cancel grants.
The same words are in the nation's founding documents.
It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."

They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.
"Even an effort to catalog and digitize the papers of Thomas Gage, a British general in the American Revolution, was guilty of “promoting inclusivity and diversity in historical research.”

An emergent property of cellular embodiment and evolution within material ecologies. Nothing like Gen AI’s brittle material substrate of silicon. DNA is nothing like binary code. DNA is physical, material, not an image of information
It shouldn’t take a genius to understand that but apparently it still needs to be said so the people in office hear it.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Hegseth might be the defense secretary, but does he really need to be so defensive?

Vaguely recall that a paroled inmate committing a terrible crime was enough of a scandal to undercut the Dukakis campaign. This is objectively worse in term of Trump's responsibility, but will get a fraction of the attention.
Almost every prof I know is vehemently anti-gen ai. It’s mostly administrators and a few unserious careerists that promote it
BYD and CALT are quickly becoming the new GM. If we don’t pour money and energy into electrification (solar+batteries) asap, we’ll be screwed by 2030. These oil freaks have a stranglehold hold on the American imagination and it’s suffocating us
1.5 megawatts, fuckin hell man. that's like half of a factory draw
Thank you @madikoesler.bsky.social and @wcp.bsky.social for covering Bryan Betancur’s full history of violence towards women & children.

Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."
BREAKING: Iranian artists TRICKED US-Israeli joint forces with "paintings on the ground." Experts believe that the recently contracted OpenAl-driven weapon technologies have "wasted millions of dollars" worth of missiles.
Art really scored one against AI here.
