“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”
AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education
Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

Dude, if anti-fascism is your enemy then you’re fascist.

Jesus Christ, democracy is anti-fascist. Anti-fascism is not a fucking “movement”. It’s the basis of our whole world order.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.

Get really familiar with this concept because that's what is happening right now. We will no longer have free and fair elections. Democracy is dead. It was murdered in broad daylight by a TV gameshow host and a ketamine addled afrikaaner man child.

He had 6 companies facing 32 investigations from 11 government agencies. Only a miracle could save his net worth and then…November 5th 2024.

Now the rest is history. Or some would say, oligarchy.

White women are about to be the latest to learn that when you support fascists because "they'll go after other people and improve things for me", "other people" always shifts to include you eventually

The idea that powerful people will soon be working to subject an entire nation to much more sickness and suffering by undermining or even taking away some of the most miraculously effective tools humanity has against disease is truly horrifying

There is a "Women in AI" pack: bsky.app/start/did:pl...

I'd also be happy to be added to your pack. I do ML for Systems research along with bioplausible networks.

Inspired by @wimlds.bsky.social , I looked for a "Women in Machine Learning" starter pack and couldn't find one.
So I created one! May have some mistakes. I'll try to do an AI ethics one next. 🤗

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
First dataset for the new @huggingface.bsky.social @bsky.app community organisation: one-million-bluesky-posts 🦋

📊 1M public posts from Bluesky's firehose API
🔍 Includes text, metadata, and language predictions
🔬 Perfect to experiment with using ML for Bluesky 🤗

my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.
I'm headed right now to vote for Kamala Harris. I hope you do too. I don't know how else to put this without sounding too earnest, or like an asshole, but you can't easily undo fascism. I am voting for her and expect to yell at her for good. Only under her administration is that a real possibility.

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.

Advocating that tech conferences start including Bluesky accounts on profile pages and badges is already working!
I need to add it to the code for the devopsdays website! I’ll do it today :)
