tweet, sharing a graph that shows students using generative AI perform 48% better on practice tests, but 17% worse on real exams Caption: I knew this would inevitably happen as AI got better. If you're not using AI -- people who use it to study will cognitively pass you in critical thinking.

Thank you 🩵

Do you happen to have some nice examples of this being modelled? Very curious to see how it would look like.

From the Chartists to the suffragettes, and from the civil rights movement to the anti-apartheid struggle, every great protest movement has found strength in song.

There is extraordinary power in music. More than one injustice has fallen before a hail of ballads.

User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

i logged into linkedin to turn this setting off, and scrolled for a couple minutes, which reminded my why I never ever ever log into linkedin

Fair enough, thank you for taking the time to reply, hope it goes well 👍🏼

Hello 👋 Any idea on whether this will be recorded? Would love to watch it.

@dingdingpeng.the100.ci really enjoyed your talk yesterday, thanks for taking the time!

Having had one last week I can relate 😅 at least we are here to enjoy them, hope you have a great one!

Your stance on Maye sure is bearing fruits when we are not even 2 full seasons in...

Guys my OLS model of protests didn't predict this, is this what they call the "error term"? 🤔

Keep up the great work, really enjoy your podcast 💪🏽

This should be great!

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

What's the carbon footprint of using ChatGPT or Gemini? [August 2025 update] A new study from Google suggests its Gemini LLM uses around 0.24 Wh per text query. That's the same energy as using a microwave for one second.

I really appreciated that @hannahritchie.bsky.social is following the developments (and also distinguishes between individual-level impact vs. AI/data centers as a whole).

A Palestinian girl cries out for food with her hands held out at a charity kitchen amid the famine in Gaza. She is surrounded by other young, anguished children. This photo was taken on Thurs July 11, 2025 after at least 10 children were killed by an Israeli strike as they queued outside a medical point. More Palestinians have now been killed just waiting for food than the number of victims killed in the Hamas terrorist attack of October 7. Photograph credit is to Ebrahim Hajjaj of Reuters

Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'.

A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air.

One day, everyone will have always been against this.
