This awesome thing also happened to me! At a major Cambridge-based journal!
The only way we can retain any credibility in academic publishing is if we have checks on ai. Ai submissions being reviewed by ai reviewers means unfiltered slop in the publication record.
it’s depressing as hell
My hottest mental health take:
A lot of depression and anxiety is situational, and warranted, because people live in shit circumstances. They’re poor, without resources, etc. and the reason it’s become popular to blame “mental health” is because it’s a way of evading responsibility.
By the way, being enslaved even in death is the REAL definition of "zombie," as created by Africans
It's hard to be a scientist right now & realise that many of your colleagues are driven by completely different values.
Not a desire for truth, understanding, or insight. But something else entirely. Something where learning & problem solving have no intrinsic value.
Something AI can do for you.
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Disgusting
a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
10 hour study with me at Columbia showing lunch
Her in the library
DHS illegally arrested me please help Text against image of her knees
Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"
And another one bites the dust.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
What do you and Trump talk about? The struggle of finding a good makeup artist after alienating the LGBTQ+ community.

Epstein-Barr is also an oncogenic virus - specifically raises the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer, certain lymphomas, and some stomach cancers. Once again, Trump’s HHS is joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer. www.cancer.org/cancer/lates...
In addition to continuing to downgrade Americans health, this further illustrates why we cannot depend on the private sector to pick up the work being put down by the government to improve both American and great global health.
When the subtitle is actually the headline:
“In an internal memo last year, Meta said the political tumult in the United States would distract critics from the feature’s release.”

Already seeing people not from around here saying "Minnesota won" and I just— It's not over yet. We don't know if they'll actually withdraw. And the damage is overwhelming. We need a lot of fucking help here. And there are still people in concentration camps.
Abolish ICE, shut down DHS, prosecute.
I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you
It will very much be worth your time to read this.
I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?
Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
Beloveds. I know you mean well. I know we live in an age of stunt and spectacle. I know our hearts are looking for comfort and meaning through the fire and chaos.
So let me hold your hand when I say this:
All Latine children do not look the same. That was not Liam.
You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?
I think the ‘less obvious’ politics here is that the entire thing started off with workers in the fields and ended with community dancing and emerging in solidarity from the fields. I think it’s beautiful that he named every country and all the peoples voices rising up- AND-

If ai is so good why did it need so many ads begging for us to use it??
Brett Ratner, the sex pest who came out of retirement to direct the Melania movie that Jeff Bezos spent $75 million on as thousands of people at Amazon and the Washington Post lost their jobs, helped produce an ad in which rapist Mike Tyson spewed fatphobic dreck for Secretary Bear Carcass
