feel like we can do better than “man these guys are real fatsos” when talking about agents of state violence idk

I will always have a post for this. bsky.app/profile/sonj...

quantitative methods, qualitative methods, mixed methods

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

I am so tired of being told that I, a person who got a significant portion of my diet out of dumpsters in my early 20's, hold elitist & "luxury" beliefs by people who have been Professors of Thinking at Harvard since before I was born.

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

Probably worth paying more attention to *why* tech oligarchs and this administration, in particular, are so eager to build data centers. What do we think they’re going to be used for? Endless AI for good projects or…?

We need a Luddite revolution asap and I mean that in every sense of the word

i'm on a million of the most hateful lists you can imagine, but sure, let's draw the line here

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Sycophantic AI Decreases Prosocial Intentions and Promotes Dependence Both the general public and academic communities have raised concerns about sycophancy, the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI) excessively agreeing with or flattering users. Yet, beyond isolat...

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

oh this is perfect for what I'm writing today thank you

Universities should do this now. Absolutely disgusting not to.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

Empathy limited to objects that can be *imagined* as subjects but that won't actually confront you as subjects is an essential aspect that ties a lot of fascist and fascism-adjacent projects together, imho. Animals, robots, unborn children, even the anti-feminist imagination of women, etc

find and kill god

Mom can you pick me up people are anthropomorphizing linear algebra again

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

Leviathan @l3vlat4an X.com Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an "AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla. What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt? AUTISM

That she's cool as fuck?

As democrats

ppl dunk constantly on things like philosophy and sociology and then turn around and go "maybe the computer *is* actually talking to me"

extremely stupid that I can't get to Rochester from Worcester without going to NYC. I-90 is right there just put a bus on it

New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft:

The AI aesthetics of necropolitics.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is
a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and
b. p-hacked

look if you dont want hoards of students chasing nazis across campus for disrupting their class you can always make class sizes smaller

I will die before I compromise on maple syrup
