Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. At this point, the only difference between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is that Vladimir Putin doesn't want to fuck his son-in-law's wife.

I will never quite get over how everyone knows fine and well that basically any "let's make public transport cheaper and active travel more widespread" initiative in Scotland is Green policy, but anytime the Greens go "hey we got a policy enacted" you get people screaming UM IT'S THE SNP THAT DID IT

CROCKETT: Okay

19. Academic Bluesky is not a serious venue for this debate.

I have to address this because it colored everything that followed. Bluesky generated almost as many reactions as Twitter, but they were overwhelmingly hostile in the least productive way possible. The most common response was some version of “If you didn’t write it, why should I read it?” or “ai/dr.” Many included curses, accusations of being paid by AI companies (?), and calls to not cite my earlier published work (??) or even to fire me (???) with people tagging my employer to replace me with AI since I’m claiming it’s so good.

My original post was provocative. But I did not attack anyone personally. I made arguments about AI and academia, based on my own experience in the field, which you may agree or disagree with. For that, academics on Bluesky responded with professional threats, ad hominem, and coordinated pile-ons. I have thick skin and employment security. I can absorb this.

But most people who might share heterodox views on AI in academia do not have that luxury. They are graduate students, contingent faculty, and junior researchers (in fact, I was one myself just a couple of months ago!) who watch what happened to me and draw the obvious conclusion: keep your mouth shut. That is the real cost of pile-on culture—not to people like me, but to the open exchange of ideas that academia is supposed to protect. And while I appreciated all the sympathetic folks who reached out in DMs, I wish you would speak out publicly. That is the only way this unfortunate dynamic can change.

listen, why the fuck do you care if Bluesky is so "hostile" to AI?
You posted a misleading, provocative (your own words) and then expect people to be genteel and generative for your substack?
You're not some kind of martyr for coat trailing on this platform re AI--you're just unoriginal and boring
