Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials who consistently downplayed COVID own this. Media who plarformed minimizers own this.

"AI can write my blog and do my quant analysis": tell me you're a lazy, mid (at best) writer and researcher whose work fits the status quo unthinkingly without telling me, etc.

Just read the Yale report on Trust in Higher Education. You will be shocked, no doubt, to learn that it did not occur IN THE SLIGHTEST to a committee at a top American university looking at trust in American higher ed to use any other country's experiences to pose intelligent counterfactuals.

There seem to be two types of Carney fans in my comments. Those avoiding cognitive dissonance by trying desperately to convince themselves he's not a conservative, and those who actually agree with his conservative policies.

Yep. And that explains why "progressives" are busy defending everything Carney does rather than pushing for progressive policies now. 🤷

Btw, "We have to vote Liberal to stop Poilievre!" gave the Cons 8 more seats at the expense of incumbent NDP and Greens.

A herculean effort by many, but esp. the first three authors: Ujjwal Rathore, Eli Dugan, and Hunter Thornton working in the Krogan and Marson labs, with a veritable army of collaborators from HARC (harc.ucsf.edu) and beyond.

AI is the technological heir of mansplaining and getting it wrong

We filed suit against the Trump administration (again) today to block the implementation of an unlawful executive order that seeks to undermine inclusion & equal opportunity, threatens government contractors w/ criminal prosecution, & chills protected speech.

These are not normal times.

Close them all, everywhere.

Opinion | AI Is a Better Researcher Than You That claim got a political scientist denounced. Is it true?

He says, pointing to himself in the mirror.

This guy is a fantastic illustration that AI = mediocre white male talent stimulator and laziness enabler. He's not really critiquing other academics, he's just telling on himself and the quality and originality of his scholarship.

Oh yeah? Then who will create jobs?

QED

The left is cheering for leaders they don’t really believe in It is strange to see progressive voters rooting so wholeheartedly for Prime Minister Mark Carney and Hungary's Péter Magyar, leaders who, let’s face it, lean pretty heavily to the right.

Carney must make cuts, not only invest more: former Bank of Canada governor | Power & Politics YouTube video by CBC News

Another former head of the Bank of Canada says Carney is not going far enough on austerity.

I dunno. Maybe it's the capitalists who are the problem.

Not that you asked, but I don't really care as much about someone smashing a statue as I care about war crimes, killing men, women, and children, and destroying homes, hospitals, and schools. But that's just me I guess.

Why are you still here trolling? Guess I do need to block you.

Trump's war on Iran hasn't altered Canada's cost of making gas — at all. So why are we being hosed at the pumps? Policy choices, not market forces of a war halfway around the world, explain the spike in prices, writes Jim Stanford, leading to unnecessary economy-wide inflation and higher interest rates.

Corporate windfall profits, which should be taxed by the Carney government but won't be.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

You decided to come in the comments and show everyone you didn't get the analogy. That's not my doing.

It's remarkable how poorly you grasp the analogy. Like, just totally missing the point in every way.

Oh, and me posting on social media doesn't entitle you to my engagement.
