If you need assistance of this sort, you're not doing the job anymore. This is the rough equivalent of being a baseball player, but developing a tool to hit, throw, and catch the ball for you. Y'know, "just in case."

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

I am, let's say, not an expert on this sorta thing, but shouldn't you plan for "what happens if this spirals out of control" before you bomb a country and kill their leader?

Looks like small government to me, amirite?

When they tell you it's about ID, it's ... not about ID. Yet another example of the Cruelty being The Point.

The AI equivalent of Bobson Dugnutt and Sleve McDichael, y'all.

Nah I'm good - given the admin, this seems like the worst time to continue to fund a domestic para-military force that seems more interested in raiding the Homeland than protecting it.

We Support Protesting Against Any Authoritarian Government Except Our Own “President Trump called on Iranians on Tuesday to keep protesting against their government and warned that those responsible for killing demonstrat...

"No peaceful demonstrator should ever be killed for standing up to their government. Unless, of course, they’re a suburban mom in an SUV that’s driving away from law enforcement."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH!

A great thread on @gpccomm.bsky.social 's health and peer review statistics, to date. We're growing, y'all!

For the start of the year, we thought we'd do a quick update on the journal from launch to date, rather than just the last two months. How are we looking 8 months in? Let's check it out!

So ... for some (ac)counting ...

No you're spelling it wrong. It's "Bored of Peace."

This is Trump's former AI adviser

Student journalists are journalists. We stand with the reporters who investigate their schools and inform their communities on Student Press Freedom Day. (1/3)

Without considering the sources of claims, efforts at epistemic vigilance become play-acting. With LLMs, we don't know the sources.

Excellent thread from @mjcrockett.bsky.social

We're getting so very, very close to launch, everyone. Stay tuned to @gpccomm.bsky.social !

Thanks, man! Will follow up. The chapter is more focused on message processing broadly - but you'll see this one section. Happy to chat, any time.

But you know ... peace prize.

Oh man I would love that, and if you just kick me over whatever email you prefer, um super happy to share.

Some tweaking to do, but we're close. I realize I left out audio/podcasting and I wonder if "writing" might be too much of a "distant cousin" from the others. But .. a start?

Mutant League Hockey vibes. =)

I'm working on a textbook now, and I was struggling to present "formal features" of media in an accessible way. So, I ran my arguments through an LLM to get a column/row format - first stab, below. Thoughts?

FIFA reveals plan to build 'complete football ecosystem' in Gaza FIFA announced plans to build fields, an academy and a stadium in Gaza.

Savior syndrome? Coming up. Looks like we're rebuilding for people but not really asking them for any input. FIFA has long lost the thread, y'all: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I'm still remembering the time I got into an Actual Argument (TM) with a Dean of Research because they wanted to hang holiday decorations in our research labs and we didn't want participants staring at decorations in the waiting room of our *checks notes* studies on emotions and media.

I have a surefire prescription to save these names and it’s for the United States as a whole to get way more cool about trans people

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.
