In the American Revolution, British satirists used elaborate French hairstyles to mock the rebel colonists, who got support from France against their mutual enemy. Fascinating to see this imagery come full circle with a very different meaning. #NoKings

I can’t recommend @karenhao.bsky.social’s Empire of AI enough. She doesn’t shy away from telling the true story of OpenAI and all the harm that’s come from its pursuit of generative AI expansion. It was a pleasure to dig into it with her on the podcast!

My new hobby is looking at the one star reviews of important historical sources on Goodreads... Like this one of Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain... 😂

You know who can produce a summer reading list without resorting to the planet-killing plagiarism machine? Booksellers. In fact, there are at least two lists of summer reading recs on the main page at bookshop.org

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

And while we’re in these dark and profoundly stupid times, might I suggest Martha S. Jones’s work—highlighting how African Americans used the courts to argue for the idea of birthright citizenship long before the Civil War as a means to establish their status as free citizens.

Oh jfc. Do not indemnify these people against their own jörmungandr-sized ouroboros of bullshit. Let them be sued into the fucking ground for At Least negligence in re: failure to certify their products' operations to the highest available standards of expertise. Do none of you remember 2008-10?!

No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.

Writing tip: Kill your darlings. Bake them in a pie and serve it to your editor at a grand dinner. When she compliments the chef, say, "Oh, do you like it? Aren't you curious about what meat it is?" and empty a sack onto the table. It is your darlings' decapitated heads!

Finally got around to reading James Bradley's piece on generative #AI in the Guardian and oooft there are some powerful statements, like this one: "Generative AI strips out part of what makes us human and hands it over to a company so they can sell us a product that claims to do the same thing."

Food banks and organizations have deals to make the most out of a dollar and to get more of what people need. It feels nice to buy and donate a can! But giving the money straight to them is best.
