Il a été question de Jacques Derrida tout à l'heure. Revenons sur son traitement de l'hospitalité, l'éthique dessinée par ses soins à ce propos domine les débats en philosophie. Première question : cette éthique de l'hospitalité est-elle aussi "inconditionnelle" qu'il le prétend ? (Spoiler : non)

I’m sure the question has been asked a 💯 times but: what if we spent those billions on human learning instead?

yesterday, my postdoc funding (salary and research funds) was cancelled by the National Science Foundation, effective immediately. I received the same generic, vaguely threatening, typo-ridden email as many of my colleagues who have had their awards terminated recently. (1/n)

While investigating Nike’s claims about sustainability, I started collecting paystubs from its suppliers. It’s been almost 27 years since Phil Knight acknowledged that Nike products had become synonymous with “slave wages.” I wanted to know what people in Asia earned producing Nike apparel. (thread)

“THE ALGORITHM IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE CAPABLE OF DISCERNMENT.” Never. AI is a misnomer. It’s not intelligent. It’s a calculator. If you’re like “calculators can’t do language, silly,” that’s the entire goddamn point.

Way too many people hear “language model” and think the algorithm understands language. It does not. It reduces letters to numbers and looks for patterns in the numbers. That’s all it does. That’s all it can do. It does not derive meaning; it does not extrapolate consequences.

Autocracies frequently pursue policies to produce a less educated, less healthy public, as a means to dislodge its ability to organise and protest, hurting the poorest. The evil thing about US autocracy is that they’ve convinced people this will “own the Libs” so it will be “badass”

Yes. And do so not for the sake of those of us you berated but because, like David Brooks, your very failure in the past gives you credibility with many whom you misled now. If you were wrong, you have an opportunity to do a whole lot of right by saying so now.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

A in the weeds good governance thing that should be done is the banning of ‘island’ cities (all of your borders are with one other municipality), because like 90% of the time they are a way for a rich area to parasitize a larger cities amenities/job markets, etc. without sharing it’s tax burden
