As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

This is the future that Douglas Adams envisaged. #ChatGPT has the voice of the terminally optimistic shipboard computer on the Heart of Gold. Genuine People Personalities™ here we come… 🤦‍♂️ #AIEthics

An English idiom about facing the consequences of one’s actions is “you made your bed, now lie in it.” In Italian, an equivalent phrase is hai voluto la bicicletta? Adesso pedala! It means “you wanted the bicycle? Now pedal it!”

‘Scrap’ as in not implement them in the first place. This will only lower prices compared to what they would have been had the checks been introduced next month. So it’s very much a notional saving and continuation of business as usual. 🤷‍♂️ #BrexitReality #EUReset

I teach writing classes and this is, if anything, underselling the problem. We are also underselling how aggressively AI companies are selling themselves to students, specifically as a means to cheat at or dismiss the value of school work. They treat a GPT subscription as an expense like textbooks.

Anyone saying ‘DEI’ here in the UK is telling you very directly where their hate is imported from.

“Thousands of newly obtained documents show” that the founders of Clearview AI—which is backed by Peter Thiel—“always intended to target immigrants & the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump admin.” This is incredible reporting by @lukeobrien.bsky.social, 4/2025 1/

🚨🚨In an undeservedly underreported story, it appears that the #Georgian ruling party is going off the rocks on its #authoritarian crackdown on dissenting opinions by commencing to detain opposition leaders. 🧵 kyivindependent.com/he-was-kidna...

The newest budget numbers out of NSF are... not good. We're looking at worse than worst case scenarios for U.S. research universities. That's in addition to all the other attacks. Every person w/ a word processer and an hour of time should be penning an op-ed to their local papers this weekend.

The gross unfairness of #TrumpsBigUglyBill would worsen the nation’s already near-record of income and wealth inequalities. But the provision inside it that neuters the federal courts, would remove the last remaining constraint on trump, and end US democracy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Stunning details now emerging: this was an operation planned a year and a half in advance, involved smuggling drones into Russia, placing them in containers on top of trucks, arranging for them all to open simultaneously and to strike.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg will try to sail to Gaza tomorrow with other ships aiming to break Israel's seige and bring food to starving kids and adults. She tried the same about a month ago and her ship was bombed in a drone strike.
