Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I miss Cecily Strong on SNL.

i promise being called "dr." does not make up for the work conditions, the pay, the political scrutiny, and the piles and piles of BS you deal with.

there are far more efficient ways to gain clout than getting a phd.

Having a child is expensive—but not if you use AI!

I saved time and money by having my agents produce a fully-realized digital offspring. Here's how:

* Describe what kind of child you want. Don't forget to avoid any undesirable traits!

* Request a birth certificate, photos, and childish artwork

hand up for me on this as well.

I was pro-legalization for a bunch of reasons that were naive in retrospect and I sent way too many "I'm betting on an obscure sporting event 🤪🤪🤪 and you can too!" posts

I didn't anticipate how quickly gambling would rot through everything it touched

Werner Herzog is like David Attenborough with Major Depressive Disorder (which is why I love him)

This is not unlike my career path in Minnesota - one of my favorite things about advising is, and you won’t believe it … students bring me questions that have answers, and problems that have solutions.

If you're not familiar with the Kennedy Center, this is a great photo that is from roughly the same angle as some of these other pictures.

Yep. And I'm sure Harvard will open the door right up for you with a tenure-track job for finishing that PhD early by using AI!

Yup. If you show up wanting me to hire you as an infectious disease physician/researcher and can’t talk intelligently about the 15 papers you published in your 2 year fellowship with the aid of AI, you have 15 publications and no job 🤷🏻‍♂️

"It says here on your CV that you finished your PhD in 2 years. I have some questions..."

OBVIOUSLY! I hear they are handing out tenure track jobs and million-dollar book contracts with each diploma.

Again, playing make believe. Let's say you proudly and openly finished your PhD using AI super duper fast. Do you think job search committees will be impressed by this?

Right. But I'm playing make believe. Let's just say they did. Now what?

In this job market? During this administration? I would be taking my sweet ass time getting that PhD, especially if it was funded.

Like, yes, all of the arguments about how this misses the point of getting a PhD. But besides that, I think people need to ask themselves, OK, let's say you did it. You fooled everyone. You hacked tour way to a PhD. Now what?

I guess this is an honest question for all of this. What is the end goal for you, as an individual? (I know what the end goal is for AI companies)

What are you trying to hack your way to?

I honestly do not get the "let's do it FASTER" argument. For what?

Lots of folks have pointed out all of the banana pants stuff about this tweet, but I guess my question would be, "and then what?" You can research & write your dissertation super fast, then what? What is the destination you're trying to get to? A job? Good luck with that. A book? Ok...? Then what?

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"

got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

The end of the acknowledgments in Beth Lew-Williams's THE CHINESE MUST GO (2018)

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." -George Orwell's '1984'

I just had to pull out of a book festival where Jenna Bush Hagar (not even an author!!!) is the headliner and it is a sign of American moral bankruptcy that she was allowed to carry the Bush name not just onto TV but into being one of the biggest book influencers in the country

This has been brought home to me again and again in my three years as a Reviews Editor: identify someone with perfect qualifications for reviewing a given publication, search for them, discover last known university position was five years ago.

For those who may not know — this move the Pentagon is making now was also the first deployment in the Vietnam War…

I used to play Risk a lot in high-school. Here’s how many troops I think it will take to hold the Strait of Hormuz.

Pentagon Is Moving Additional Marines, Warships to the Middle East The Pentagon is moving additional Marines and warships to the Middle East as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to three U.S. officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ap...

“The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to two U.S. officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved a request… for the expeditionary unit, typically consisting of up to 2,500 Marines”

Yesssss. @bachynski.bsky.social

Listen, I am only half joking when I say this

If you can manage not to use AI and not to gamble for the next five years, you will be among the most capable people on the planet
