Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.

What's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.

One thing that doesn't seem to have really cut through is that if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation collapses - which in recent years has gone from "very distant possibility" to "uh, guys" - we don't get a Mediterranean climate, we freeze.

*One* undiscussed problem with embracing a Mediterranean lifestyle as advocated by this piece is we don’t have the Mediterranean, we have the North Sea, and the impact of climate change on the currents and weather patterns of the North Sea is…well, it’s not turning it into the Med, is it?

From the abstract: “promoting a woman to Associate Professor increases female faculty by 1.5 members after 15 years, leads to six additional female PhD graduates over the following decade, and raises the number who subsequently remain in academia and reach tenured positions”

Fascinating paper on the progression of women in academia. 👩🏻‍🔬 ⚛️ 🧪 #AcademicSky docs.iza.org/dp18477.pdf?... Here's an excerpt from the conclusion:

When women do obtain tenure, the effects extend well beyond their own careers. Beyond the direct promotion of the qualifying candidate, departments experience on average one additional female promotion over the subsequent fifteen years, a substantial expansion of the female PhD pipeline, and improved retention and career progression among female doctoral graduates. These effects are concentrated in departments where women are underrepresented, but not entirely absent, suggesting that a minimal female presence is a precondition for trickle-down effects to materialize, whether through mutual support, departmental influence, or other channels that require women not to be entirely isolated.

I would read 10 thousand words on how the Trump and Biden administrations allowed this drug addict so much access to the federal government

What blows my mind with AI is the people who are like "how could you possibly function without it?" To which I say, "you, YOU literally did until what like 3 years ago? Did it degrade your brain that fast that you can't figure out how to do the thing you trained for years and earned a PhD to do?"

Brendan Keogh@brkeogh.bsky.social · last wk.

Surely the solution here is just *don't use AI tools* for your writing and research and continue to do your writing and research in ALL the ways you were doing it before you started using AI instead of doing the work??

“Today, trucks will roll, cars will cross, and governments will begin collecting tolls. But the bridge will remain a monument to a broken bond that may take decades to fix—and may never be fully repaired.” Well worth reading @davidmoscrop.com’s excellent piece.

If there was ever any doubt, the Gordie Howe Bridge fiasco proves it: You can't trust Trump's America, or any deal within this administration's orbit. thewalrus.ca/the-gordie-h...

Most of us - literally, most of us - are only alive because of 150 years of the modern regulation of consumer safety…

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Tons of peoples' Claude chats are exposed on Google. Cryptocurrency keys, API keys, login credentials, legal discussions, more. This happened with ChatGPT last year. And Claude too. There's clearly an ongoing issue with search engines indexing peoples' AI chats www.404media.co/tons-of-peop...

Tons of Peoples’ Claude Chats and Creations are Exposed on Google

Claude users are creating public share links, but probably don't realize that means their chats are now ending up in Google searches where anyone can dig through them.

One of the things I research is the cooperation of cultural institutions like museums in pitching tech products--specifically AI--to the public. This is advertising for the capacity of AI to educate and thus to reshape education itself as a project better left to private tech companies. 1/n

“The installation, unveiled in February 2024, allows guests to ask Douglass questions through an iPad. Using a closed database of Douglass’s autobiographies and speeches, the artificial intelligence generates responses based solely on Douglass’s recorded words.”
