Yeah there's been so many games I'd have loved to see him.

I can't understand the no start of Norgaard.

Looking to organize a panel on #WilliamBlake at #MLA2027. Any Blake scholars interested in a "Blake at 200" to mark the bicentennial of Blake's death send me a note!

As out turns out, the “civilization“ spread by the western powers was always repression, plunder, & mass death disguised under the language of universal rights.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

He is outstanding and if they do not write him into the second season, we riot.

This is a lovely read.

Probably used AI at some point...

Calm in *checks notes* 16th 😂

YEEEEES!!!

I really wonder why we bought Norgaard. Timber particularly looks wrecked.

Spoken like a man who would use you as a battery if he could

I dunno. Maybe it's a generational thing? When I was a college student it was repeatedly emphasized by professors and professionals in various fields that if you want to achieve excellence you can't take short cuts. Not significant ones.

It feels to me like using LLMs for writing is a short cut.

Lovely to see an academic book praised for accessibility and readability.

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave

Agree completely re Norgaard would have loved to see him tonight. Loss of Merino an awful blow.

Who said that? Players got 2 up and Arteta blows it? The players screwed this up tonight.

2-0 up. And he screaming at them to keep the ball. This is on the players.

It’s a moot point, because that’s not what this tech does or will ever be able to do. Swap out “an AI” for “a well” in this sentence and it makes exactly the same amount of sense.

It is absolutely a choice.

There is no ethical use of gAI in a college course.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

First they steal your history. Then they erase it.

I was showing this to loads of people yesterday 😅

The LLM industry and it's offshoot have had, what, 2 years now, to convince people of the value of their products and all they've come up with is cheap emulations of actual work and an incessant insistence of its own inevitably.
You want people to accept your industry? Sell something worthwhile.
