Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 6h agoI think we can agree that AI detectors are out. But universities are ignoring the fact that faculty cannot really out-design assessments to meet the challenges of this moment. We need sustained institutional support to be the best teachers we can be, and we aren't getting it.

Gosh. You're telling me the lawyer who represented the white supremacist Jared Taylor in suing Twitter for banning his account might *also* harbor white supremacist ideas? How unshocking.

It became necessary to destroy women's sports to save them.
Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social · 8h agoThe Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Is there a good explainer somewhere about why genAI needs so many data centers? Machine learning models hit ceilings and marginal gains are difficult to achieve. I want to understand the economic/technological case for the need for even more data centers.

this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."

Interesting, but unsurprising. This is essentially the Nate Silver effect. The overwhelmingly majority of his predictions were captured simply by assuming a state voted for the same party as in previous election. Marginal gains beyond that baseline were few.
