If my students aren't emailing their congressional reps for their research papers, I don't want em 😆

Whole Regal theater to myself 🙌

It's gonna be now 🙄

‘90s hip hop is educational af. It was only about a month ago that I got tired of not knowing how untouchable California is, and decided to look up “Eliot Ness”

Just in general, the amount of self-righteous people who come out of the woodwork to pick a fight with you over their own poor reading comprehension on here is crazy 🤯🤣

I'd wait with you because you're fun 🙂

There's no "I" in it, so that'd just be your own miscomprehension tbh

I'll tell you what though, next time I plan a project I'll title it "Why AI sucks: a manifesto" just to appease the people invading my mentions to pointlessly pick fights on the internet

The title really doesn't communicate any qualitative judgement. It objectively states the topic that will be researched.

How weird that you just haughtily assumed that out of nowhere. That's not it at all. This project is bringing a critical view to the media industries' adoption of AI, definitely not promoting it at all 🤨

Awesome!

YASSSSSS

Preach it. People who play video/sound out loud on their phone in general.... It blows my mind how few people were raised with manners these days.

Nah sorry but I am pro- witch hat bonus 🧙‍♀️

Bsky is so fun lol 🙄

Wow it looks beautiful!

I draw on years of research in the trade convention circuit to make sense of the way this legacy company is using AI across their product suite

Pasadena, where you at?

But ooh yes, the other side of the coin to "free/accessible" is usually "very streamlined," which yes is not good for neurodiversity

From my time in Germany I get the that it’s great for studying, but just as precarious for academics as the US and UK
