omggg Bernie is such a demon puppy. She just grabbed a pair of socks out of the hamper. She has like ten bazillion toys! Also thank fuck there's only a couple more days of trying to keep her quiet

😭 oh no

I think it is crucial to hold a vision of e.g. information access where OpenAI, Google, Meta, etc in fact are not granted the right to push their technologies of isolation (h/t @hypervisible.blacksky.app ) into our every sphere of interaction.

Some of his videos are good. Some are not. This book is very disappointing to this sociolinguist, and I'm only on chapter 1.

Well I may just read it and bring it into my review 🥰🥰🥰

Oooohhhhhh thank you!!

avoid people being able to search posts for terms so they can be awful to people, in a book about the influence of algorithms on language use and change.

I'm barely into the first chapter and it's just so obvious that this kid has never taken one single sociolinguistics or language contact class. His knowledge is extremely shallow. For ex I just read a paragraph where he says we self-censor non-curse words to "be silly" with no mention of trying to+

Wait where?? I need to see them

Ha, thank you! Btw I peeped your profile and your book looks so interesting!

It's paper, but I don't want to scare my cat

Every paragraph invites me to throw my book across the room

😂 no reason to do anything anymore!!1!!

Did you know algorithms are the only cause of language innovation and also that internet language is the only form of written colloquial register

It's for work 😭 I am to write a review of it

VERY YIKES

Yep that's what I'm currently (hate) reading

Oh god yes, I ate my artisanal stuffing on Thanksgiving and told my spouse I should have just made stove top.

Hey Linguists Over A Certain Age: according to etymologynerd, we don't study the effects of social media algorithms on language change because we "find it hard to keep up with the fast pace of language change"

Oh don't worry, I have my own drugs 😂

Is anyone with access to Columbia University's library system willing to submit a scan request for me? I'm in the zines portion of my alt-press comps & CU has copies Cyanide #1&2 from an ancient late 90s online friend which I lost a good 20 years ago. Obviously will pay for any associated costs!🗃️

I regret ever putting my eyeballs on the phrase "society as a service"

I know 😞

Hi señor poopoo dookie, We recently announced that Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO. This unites our leading entertainment service with Warner Bros.' iconic stories,

I appreciate they addressed me by my Christian name.

I have to try to keep the puppy quiet for the next five or so days after her spay surgery on Thursday. She has gabapentin and trazodone on board to help keep her calm and it isn't. 😭 (No advice please)

As many have been saying for a while, sure seems like the “who could AI replace” question has the opposite answer to what the bosses expect

MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce Artificial intelligence can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, across finance, health care and professional services, according to MIT's study.

Headline: "AI can replace 11.7% of workforce"

Actual study: Anthropic paid MIT to use a "labor simulation tool" that said 11.7% of TASKS could be done by AI
