A tweet that reads “The new academic wealth gap isn't your university.
It's not even your advisor's connections.
It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data.
I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis.
Here are the 9 prompts they used:”

fuck this so much

we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

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

Screenshot from 1960s Japanese movie Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. A serious-looking man in a suit is explaining his latest idea. Subtitle reads 'It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help.'

You know what WON'T get stuck in the Strait of Hormuz?
Sunlight and solar panels.

NEVER use Jimmy Carter’s name in the same sentence as this evil, sadistic man. There is NO comparison to be made no matter what external political factors are in play.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

I still remember the time when my friend and I were that age and set up a lemonade stand selling cups for like 10 cents each and a truck driver came by and gave us a dollar. That was a lot of money to us.

I hate how every flipping thing has AI you can’t opt out of now. I just tried to order a stitch fix box and the note to stylist has been replaced by an AI assisted note to stylist. I AM FULLY CAPABLE OF TELLING THE STYLIST I WANT DRESSES FOR MY HONEYMOON. STOP KILLING THE PLANET FOR THIS SHIT

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

This happened. The print interview was edited in ways that feel very jumpy, but I got to say some things. Like: Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war. Too many people still expect it to look like war. [and then there's a crazy jump-cut w/out transition.]

It is neat. I add it when big accounts post images with text without alt-text. I don't know if these posters notice, but I hope it helps people who have limited vision.
