Trump lost the Iran war and it wasn’t close and everyone knows it and he knows that everyone knows he LOST and so now he’s trying to blame Obama because racism is his only weapon.

I finally read this comically bad hit piece on the humanities and social sciences. I would normally dismiss this sort of reactionary garbage, but I am moving to Nashville next month to start working at @vanderbilt.edu. I worry now that I am making a huge mistake.

Very awkward for the presidents of two major US universities, as well as a series of highly regarded scholars (Keane Anthony Appiah!) to publicly shit in their own their trousers like this: www.vanderbilt.edu/principles/s...

Things like that now-circulating Vanderbilt report are written as if analytic philosophers have been in a titanic struggle with Foucault for 50 years. It is more nearly true that they thought they got rid of pragmatism by 1975 and blame its constant return on the French. (Rorty aided this diagnosis)

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI
