This is excellent. Hard to see how the US is doing anything but losing here. It had an ally that for all intents and purposes was already a 51st state - not in terms of control, but cooperation. And then Trump's bully instincts had to f*** that up.
I don’t know! Any insight @glossa-linguistics.bsky.social?
Could this be fixed by more rigorous use of DOI/ISSN /ISBN? Authors must include them, and publishers must check them (presumably with an automated process).
Tracks.
This sucks.
Bad even for him. This is the absolute definition of racism. Can the press please report this plainly: “President Trump is a racist”?
HCR is part of my morning routine, and I get a lot out of her missives, but it’s good to get a historian’s perspective (a pretty clear misstep is detailed in the linked Slate article).
Bob Dylan has quietly launched a new Patreon project, Lectures from the Grave, featuring AI-generated monologues, fictional letters, and short stories attributed to historical figures—raising big questions about creativity, authenticity, and the role of artists in an AI-driven future.

The Great Barrington Declaration’s free speech movement in action.
PS I have heard GB residents were pissed their town’s name got used for that declaration.
Thanks! I've used the deep work material as advice for incoming PhD students for years...
Has anyone seen “the AI doc”? @hagenblix.bsky.social maybe?
I just want to express my appreciation for @gavinyamey.bsky.social's righteously angry postings aout the current state of federal public health management (and the NIH, stuff), as well as his music tips, with this SNL bit.

"AI as a War Issue, War as a Workers' Issue"
Couldn't be more clear than this headline. @tisjune.bsky.social, @shreyachowdhary.bsky.social, and @nathanckim.bsky.social share their reflections on Organizing Against the Machine 👇
This is important stuff. It’s not the LLMs, the problems are older and deeper. But yes, misuse of AI does play a role.

50 years ago today Bowie played Springfield MA, and we have a decent recording of it!

This is the conservative pitch to most Americans:
Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.
Poster advertising lectures on "Raisonnement Philologique et Modèles Informatiques" stating at 4pm, Thursday, March 12, at 54 Boulevard Raspail, Paris.
Paris friends! Amis parisiens ! This Thursday is the first of four public lectures I'm giving on AI and philology, broadly defined: "Philological Reasoning and Computational Models." The advertisement is in French, but the lectures are in English. I'd also love to meet while I'm here in March! 1/
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
MAGA folks are doing all they can to erase trans kids & adults
Kansas revoked trans people’s IDs overnight
This report finds that “many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings”: www.advocate.com/news/crime/b...
The Atlantic chooses to stoke a fake anti-trans panic 👀
This is essential viewing—thank you Dr Green for sharing it
It’s a genuine tragedy to see the NIH Director embracing censorship so gleefully; his response to Dr Green (“it’s bad science!”) is one of the most repulsive things I’ve seen from Jay Bhattacharya, amidst a long list of vile utterances
!!
Hegseth just shot down a DHS drone with a laser because he thought it belonged to a Mexican cartel, but let’s let him preside over a radical shift to unrestrained AI on our most advanced weapons systems. What could go wrong?
Excellent and frightening for our future.
This should be great!

Thank you to both @gregggonsalves.bsky.social and @joshuasweitz.bsky.social for these important words.
Thank you Joe!
Wow - could this maybe break through all the noise?
I can’t stop laughing about this!
