There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

It’s really hard to take seriously any effort to normalize the parts of AI that might be useful when it’s being used as a cudgel by corrupt fascists to destroy art, science, healthcare, the indigent, and the macroeconomy. How can we accept the “good” parts of a system when we see what it’s used for?

It’s a tough thing to say, but part of the problem is that people should not need to get a BA in order to earn enough to live. Many of us really believe in the power of knowledge to enrich your life, but that’s not the reason students are being told to go to college. A collision was inevitable.

She was also the director of Baltimore's library system when Freddie Gray was murdered by police and kept the libraries open during the "riot" because community members needed a safe place to go. That ethic of care is just not welcome in our federal government anymore.

Look I get performatively not caring about the new pope, I do. But I want you to consider two things: 1) there is now a nonzero chance JD Vance gets excommunicated 2) think about what must’ve happened to his face between hearing “there’s an American pope” and “it’s the one that hates you”

I’m at a conference about AI and science and one presenter said “acceleration means getting rid of the boring work” in scientific discovery and I’m just sitting here like… but the boring work is how you learn? Doing lit reviews, labeling/processing data… that’s how you LEARN??

Framing the adoption of AI as an historical inevitability, rather than a way to do a thing you want or need done, gives the game away. Nobody selling it this hard cares whether it helps; they want it to be the thing you have to deal with, like it or not. Problems, solutions, what’s the difference?

Let this be a lesson to anyone who’s wavering: “debating” these fundamentally disingenuous people is a bad, naive, myopic idea. Never, not even once.
