I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

I don't care that you did it at the last minute. I care that you happened to put a single iota of thought into it. Even if that single iota is your last brain cell hanging on with the power of Red Bull

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

Psychometrics and evidence science folks, I feel like we need to help software engineering out more because they are trying to measure constructs like depersonalization via software activity data?!?!!?

Legit, followers/following is a shitty means of handling this. It's simple for engineers to grasp but absolutely shitty for people to use for social contexts

First step: remove followers
Second step: make feeds more like "rivers" you can craft first class.
Third step: make feeds "remixable" like a Glitch (RIP) project

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Some of you are blaming @jay.bsky.team or @bsky.app in general, or claiming that this is being forced by @moderation.bsky.app. That could not be further from the truth. I'm shutting it down of my own volition because some of you can't be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly.

Google spokesperson Castaneda: "allegations concerning YouTube are "simply not true," in part because it's a streaming service & not a social network"

audit results: "YouTube’s algorithm violates the platform’s very own policies, recommending misinformation, violent content, hate speech & scams"

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

TBH this is *exactly* why pushing it at this level (service providers) is a bad idea. Pornhub told us this would have been a bad idea and here we are

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.
