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
Chief Economist at Apollo--incredible name, Torsten Slok--sees no payoff for AI outside tech so far. Doesn't see any productivity growth (big measurement problem admittedly). Revenue per employee and profit margins are up in the magnificent 7 but flat everywhere else.
Citing productivity and risk management concerns, Goldman Sachs has barred most employees — including traders — from using advanced AI systems, limiting it to engineers only www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
"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
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
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…
🚨🚨🚨🚨 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…
UC faculty, pissed at UCOP leadership boosting AI while underhiring, weakening instruction, and eroding climate commitments? RSVP for @ucfaculty.org townhall with @dmgreene.bsky.social from @aaup.org, @miriamposner.com, @mjcrockett.bsky.social & Prof Scott Kelley! ucfaculty.or…
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
Some new friends, for this Shopfloor AI project
"Ai criticism" seems to be understood roughly the way my undergrads understand "film criticism," i.e., a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Any good writeups of AI use in BigLaw? I know the banks are leaning on the law firms to lower fees because the labor replacement / speed-up is rampant but I haven't seen anything good on what that actually looks like in practice. Assuming mostly paralegal research but who knows!
lol our official university guidance for ai usage says the enterprise usage limit for perplexity pro is "unclear"
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.
As satisfying as it might be for their to be a dem-induced ai selloff...I don't think that's what's happening
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.
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
