Could not be more clear who the real criminals are in this country

Astonished by the exceptional work/contributions of faculty candidates we are considering this year at Cornell Tech, many of whom (like me) came to this country as immigrants because of its renowned universities. Unfathomable damage of this administration actively undermining these institutions.

Only a few more days (full consideration deadline: March 1) to apply to our lecturer position at @cornelltech.bsky.social!

Haaretz exposes: Israeli government info campaign aimed at the US Christian Right, using fake websites designed to impact AI engines (aka GEO) by posing as think tanks publishing position papers or neutral factual overviews.

Everything that @eryk.bsky.social writes is recommended. This is a great summary of the challenges raised by AI agents.

“I read very well, great comprehension. I read everything there is to read.” -- said nobody (who actually reads and comprehends) ever

If a couple of Tickle Me Elmos had told kids to kill themselves they would have been off the market by the weekend

Counterpoint: in the AI age there will be a high-premium on authenticated, human-inside services, for real estate and other industries.
