Why do I hate One Battle After Another so much? Because I’m so tired a shallow understandings of Black resistance and even more tired of movies that act like all Black folks do is think with their genitalia.
The full performance of “I Lied To You” from ‘SINNERS’ at the 98th Oscars.

Honestly, OBAO was a good film by Hollywood’s standards. Extremely well acted, beautifully shot, inventive writing. Entertaining, sure. But it didn’t *mean* anything. It was not culturally significant. It’s not anywhere in the same league as Sinners in terms of its historic and cultural impact.
So happy for Autumn Arkapaw! She’s so talented.
A quick fact: Ryan Coogler has only ever worked with female cinematographers. His team represents the best of us.
Time to remind folks again.
Let's have more directors put bigger budgets, bigger concepts and faith in female cinematographers.

I hope he feels all the love in that room. They were all rooting for him.

Following @joshuasweitz.bsky.social post and discussions with him and the Vox story, I have estimated R01 success rates for each NIH institute and center with enough awards for this to be meaningful.

Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

I have said this many times but Harriet Tubman was against capitalist systems that require human exploitation to operate and would definitely not want to be commemorated on US currency alongside people who brutally enslaved her and her people.
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

The thing about manually taking 50+ research papers and turning them into a thesis chapter is that you, the human being writing the chapter, actually absorbed some of the information about the papers and incorporated it into your own analysis.
“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.”
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.
what if the purpose of getting an education was to learn things and not creating a record of easily manipulated metrics used for future career placement
Never before has the urge to be a completionist been more valuable. Genuine curiosity is about to be a competitive advantage like none other.
The problem affects Codex Cloud Environments in ChatGPT Edu and exposes the names and some metadata associated with the public and private GitHub repositories that users within a university have connected to their ChatGPT Edu accounts. Thanks @stokel.bsky.social for writing about this issue today.
Glad to see this made public today. I responsibly disclosed with OpenAI that high-level information about the private work of students and staff using ChatGPT Edu at several universities can be viewed by thousands of colleagues across their institutions. No fixes were issued after one month.
Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt
