with @nitin-bathla.bsky.social and @sabrinastallone.bsky.social
First (probably incomplete) thoughts on incomplete projects.
some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing
People’s electric bills are tripling and quadrupling because of data centers.
We can’t buy RAM or Hard Drives because of data centers.
Black communities are suffocating in generator exhaust because of data centers.
And OpenAI is raising $100 BILLION in venture capital to accelerate it all.
For those who want joy... deadline approaching with intent

There is a really obvious solution, and that requires TAXING THE RICH. Because, the people who know best where these funds are needed, and how best to spend them, are the people working to teach the students themselves. Those who, genuinely want to be a part of a special place of learning,
Ah FFS, VUB! what’s with the 0.1fte positions? 🙄

Zu den zahlreichen bevorstehenden 🇨🇭 Kommunalwahlen:
Die SVP ist die Partei, die Kriegsverbrecher Putin unterstützt, dem kriminellen Trump nacheifert, bekennende Neonazis in ihren Reihen hat und mehr verurteile Straftäter beherbergt, als jede andere Partei.
Kein Vertreter dieser Bande ist wählbar!
Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!
Also there are so many cool free learning resources yay. F AI slop forever, learn real shit from real people.
Maybe @juliebillaud.bsky.social might have an idea?
majorly crushing article reviews today... TGIF.
9. We’ve become so used to all this that we hardly notice it. But isn’t it extraordinary? Almost everyone wants one thing, and almost everyone who represents us – whether in politics or the media – wants the opposite. Yet we tell ourselves we live in a democracy.

Great article by Cory Doctorow ( #Enshittification) about why the #AI bubble will be collapsing...
Ces hommes prétendent (et depuis des années d'ailleurs) que la révolution FÉMINISTE portée par des FEMMES et dont les LEADEUSES sont bien identifiéEs, aurait pour objectif... De ramener au pouvoir un HOMME, un MONARQUE, dont le père a construit LA FUCKING PRISON DANS LAQUELLE ELLES SONT TORTURÉES
Oh yeah: submitted (yesterday, w 1 day to spare)
@davidbauer.ch vielleicht was fürs Filet?
Excellent stuff!
Great schemes though sadly not (or only exceptionally) leading to permanent/TT positions.
seems I work best under pressure, eh? #almostdone
An old cigarette advertisement with an illustration of a Doctor holding a pack of Lucky cigarettes. The text reads: 20,679 Physicians SaY "LUCKIES are less irritating" "It's toasted" Your Throat Protection against irritation against cough” * The figures quoted have been LYBRAND, ROSS BROS AND MONTGOMERY. Accountants and Auditors.
An ad for camel cigarettes.not shows an illustration of a doctor smoking and a pack of Camels. There’s also an illustration of a woman showing her “T-Zone” of her mouth and chin. The text reads: He's one of the busiest men in town. While his door may say Office Hours 2 to 4, he's actually on call 24 hours a day. The doctor is a scientist, a diplomat, and a friendly sympathetic human being all in one, no matter how long and hard his schedule. According to a recent Nationwide survey: MORE DOCTORS SMOKE CAMELS THAN ANY OTHER CIGARETTE DOCTORS in every branch of medicine — 113,5% in all-were queried in this nationwide stud of cigarette preference. Three leading research organizations made the survey. The gist of the query was—-What cigarette do you smoke, Doctor? The brand named most was Camel! The rich, full favor and cool mildness of Camel's superb blend of costlier tobaccos seem to have the same appeal to the smoking tastes of doctors as to millions of other smokers. If you are a Camel smoker, this preference among doctors will hardly surprise you. If you're not — well, try Camels now. CAMEL TURKISH DOMESTIC CIOARI BDA CAMELS Carlier Tobaccas Your "T-Zone" Will Tell You... T for Taste... T for Throat. that's your proving ground for any cigarette. Seo if Camels don't suit your "T-Zone" to a "T."
When ppl are like “if AI is so bad for you why does everyone use it” I’m like oh ya why would that be 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
"...the more one relies on vice signaling as a style of action and communication, the less relevant and powerful the in-group’s moral compass is as a practical constraint on anyone’s behavior."
