Harnessing anti-data center sentiment is good but unless it can be funneled into getting tech giants to pay for grid upgrades as part of going in they're just going to keep building them in the poorest parts of the South www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/t...
This is pretty fun and it's also lowkey insulting (personally, collectively, spiritually) that Cory doctorow is the patron saint of The Union Organizer Archetype
"AI solves a specific problem for propagandists: the most useful lies have no photographable evidence." Love this from @alicetiara.bsky.social on the slop aesthetic
When I ran BLS, I was asked constantly about the impact of AI on jobs. It's still one of the most common questions I get. So we put together a policy brief - for policymakers, journalists, and anyone trying to sort through what is happening with AI and jobs: siepr.stanford.edu…
Fiona Chen's job market paper appears to show that ai coding assistant adoption increases coding productivity but without full pass-through to software output or employment because of new bottlenecks in code review. fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf
🚨🚨🚨🚨 VICTORY! Following months of negotiations between @pen-guild.bsky.social leadership, WBNG, and POLITICO management, the company has agreed to shut down both AI products at the heart of last November’s landmark arbitration ruling! wbng.org/2026/05/22/p...
subjecting singularitarianism to the frameworks of religious studies is the surest way to understand it imho thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/silicon-vall...
Missed this back in Feb. Any reporting on it since then? I.e., how much are they spending, how has this changed zoning fights, etc
Really loved this from @nathantankus.bsky.social. AI cannot and will not be the great financial crisis, it's too insular and the big 4 are too cash-rich. Instead, the crisis is political: a handful of billionaires are building pyramids out of social wealth that could be so man…
Been waiting for this to be officially stated. The Vanderbilt faculty were never consulted about the so-called "Declaration of First Principles" and whew doggy my alma mater has some issues. Mini thread! vanderbiltaaup.org/2026/08/11/v...
The reason they want to automate education is the same reason why we know how to fix it: what makes for "good education" hasn't really changed in 100 years. Small classes, high contact. Lots of movement around the edges but this basic proposition is expensive and labor intensive!
Yeah this ain't crystal pepsi, it's here to stay.
Look it certainly helps to know how ai works rn in order to critique it but you gotta know that even well-informed people are just hearing "scabies 4.7 just lapped dormouse 9 in the grinching scale" and the people making purchasing decisions are hearing that and "...and it can replace 20 paralegals"
"10 years ago, the Houthis were scavenging Yemeni missiles and boats. Today? They're precision-guiding drones in the air and on the water to lock the greatest militaries in the world out of trade channels. That's the Claude difference." -- Anthropic's S-1
I don't know whether this was the motivation but CHI has developed a method to deal with the flood of ai-generated papers: you can't submit unless you review.
"Ai criticism" seems to be understood roughly the way my undergrads understand "film criticism," i.e., a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Not only are nonwhite writers and researchers getting accused of ChatGPTing their work at an alarming rate, but it seems like the LLMs have supercharged racist harassment within the professions and harassment from vigilantes outside the professions. We're just gonna keep getting DOGEd.
I also learned -- via dr liz -- that Anthropic's $500m Series B was almost entirely funded by Sam Jailman-Jail, with FTX funds unknowingly loaned by FTX customers.
TIL Shaq owns a slice of Marylin Monroe's likeness and likes to post ai videos of the two of them getting married
The x-risk stuff seems to have defanged the AI industrial complex, both by one-upping the opposition in terms of scale and by taking as given the position, often framed by the opposition in terms of procedural justice, that values are embedded in design and thus engineers must make value calls
The thing about ai stifling promotion opportunities is that most promotions have been horizontal, requiring you to leave the org, for decades now
Insane how zoomers have permanently changed the memorialization of the largest terrorist attack in the US because of their ubiquitous ai remix songs about the murder of a right-wing influencer/organizer. 9/10 is going to be the kirkaversary on your feeds, competing with official news, for a while.
