He had no satisfactory answer, but the answer is this: Academics who play along with automating various parts of our jobs are partaking in our own industry's destruction. When it comes time for these companies to begin charging real money for their devastatingly high compute costs, university (cont)

you can just not fund this shit under any circumstances you don’t have to pretend they need better training, or are doing an important job incorrectly they’re just racist thugs doing ethnic cleansing and the whole gang should be in jail

Joe Robertson@joro.bsky.social · 6mo ago

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Claire Fallon@claireefallon.bsky.social · 7mo ago

the government is claiming this was an act of self-defense, so it's important to remember the last time that they shot someone and flat-out, demonstrably lied through their teeth to cover up for it

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Now that DHS has acknowledged that the ICE shooting in Minneapolis has killed a woman but are saying it was a legitimate act of self defense, let's recall that DHS repeatedly lied about the circumstances when a woman was shot by a federal agent in Chicago: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

Longer statement from Brown University: "We are very sorry to share that we have confirmed reports of multiple shooting victims, but we are not able to share their condition. They have been transported to local hospitals."

DECEMBER 13, 6:05PM: At 4:22 p.m., we alerted our campus to an active shooter incident near Barus & Holley Engineering. We informed our community to shelter in place by locking doors, silence phones and stay hidden until further notice. This remains an active crime scene, and law enforcement continues to search for the suspect. The situation is ongoing, and all members of the community should continue to shelter in place. We are very sorry to share that we have confirmed reports of multiple shooting victims, but we are not able to share their condition. They have been transported to local hospitals. Our first priority is the safety of our community and coordinating closely with local law enforcement and medical personnel to ensure their safety. We are working immediately to determine who was in the building at the time of the shooting. We had multiple exams scheduled in that building from 2 pm to 5 pm. We can confirm that support services are on site. Senior administrative leaders from across the university are convened in emergency command to mobilize ongoing response and support for our community. We are establishing support for our community and families. We have been and continue to be very grateful to law enforcement and emergency medical personnel. We have relocated students to get support services at a secure location. Please continue to take all steps to remain safe. Follow the instructions of law enforcement personnel and avoid the area.

What is happening at Ursinus right now appears to be directly out of the higher ed consultant playbook. Gut the institution of those who deliver on the core academic mission to ‘cut costs’ — without acknowledging the costs of those cuts. More people should be talking about this.

Patrick "Inverted Vibe Curve" Blanchfield@patblanchfield.bsky.social · 8mo ago

I thought I lost what faith I had in traditional academia long ago, but seeing an institution let the most brilliant, generous, and passionate teacher I've ever met go after twelve years of dedication is both infuriating and devastating. so yeah folks, hire my wife @counterfactual.bsky.social please

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy--they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made…”

Extrapolating from history: the labor market will cannibalize mid-tier knowledge workers, burn out senior knowledge workers, then shout at colleges & govt for not making enough labor-market ready grads, then govt will blame moms for not making K-12 prepare kids for college pre-labor-market skills.

This is exactly the problem. If AI can do the work of a junior team member, it still needs to be supervised and managed—so how do you teach that?

-Across the 4 years of the grant 22! undergrads participated in the research process learning about experimental design and psychological research We talk a lot about how the elimination of NSF funding affects grad student and postdocs- it it also diminishes the richness of undergraduate education
