“Returning to this thread after a busy week, now that I've had time to read your "stochastic flocks" piece. Link here, just in case anyone else is following: www.techpolicy.press/stochastic-f... >>”
“This article managed to annoy all sides, but there are good technical explanations of why this kind of system would be capable of finding vulnerabilities & writing functional code. Rigorous critiques of AI are systemic, it holds up even when it “does things…”

“Weeks ago, @chanda.blacksky.app sent me this declaration, written and signed by a bunch of mathematicians. But I only had time to read it yesterday, which ended up being right on time given a new round of hype falling exactly under the patterns this documen…”

“My reply: Not everyone who disagrees with me, but people who are loudly aligning themselves with a fascist project. That opinion isn't knee-jerk either, but rather deeply informed. Some good starting points for learning more: @ghostdoc2026.bsky.social notai…”

“This article ends with a good conclusion, but it is extremely misguided along the way. It is also a rich text for exploring how clear language helps make the point better. A thread: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... >>”
“This editor/author does the same “trick” as he writes: "Recently, the ability of large language models (LLMs) to predict protein structures and to accelerate the discovery of new materials has revolutionized both fields. New AI agents can now carry out many…”

“How about a jet-lagged live posting while I read? Trying to read this because I keep getting tagged in posts about it, but the first paragraph already contains synthetic text (a quote from Claude). I will skip that bit and persevere... www.theguardian.com/t…”
“Starts with asking Claude if it’s a “moral patient” and goes downhill from there.”

“Over on linkedin, I heard from Jeanna Matthews, co-chairing an ACM taskforce on Responsible AI use (saving commentary on that framing for later…) that this decision does *not* come from ACM leadership & that community input really matters. Make your voice h…”
“Take some time (very little) to weigh on this: "Now Is the Time to Give LLMs Access to the ACM Digital Library" docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... (not that I want to influence anyone, but my own position is along the lines of "hell no.")”

“I did not submit anything to #EMNLP2026, which is probably part of why I missed this when it was first posted in May, but I want to say now that I am utterly appalled that @aclmeeting.bsky.social & @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social are engaging in this nonsense. 20…”

“Moving over to the FAQ, we find some pretty wild marketing. I guess truth in advertising doesn't matter if the target of the ads doesn't have any choice in whether to spend the money (tuition $$ from students' POV, UW budget from faculty/staff's) anyway. uw…”
