People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

While we discuss with colleagues in academia about the ethics of using AI, trying to choose the right tone in order to avoid shattering what little remains of their spine with statements a bit too strongly worded, this is what they’re actually contributing to in the real world.

Cada vez que la blanquiza se entusiasma con un documental o un libro me pongo a esperar que estalle un escándalo sobre todos los problemas y fraudes que tienen.

Yo cada vez que veo noticias: esta no es gente seria.

I love how people now apparently think it's totally cool to make an AI clone of you without your consent. This is the subject line of an email I got, and they put up an unlisted YouTube video with me, cloned, to me show how great it is.

We don't need 'AI literacy', we need science literacy. Maybe once the bubble pops and more folk feel able to speak openly about how naked the emperor is, one benefit will be increased mainstream engagement with foundational questions of knowledge production

Hey, it’s the official release day for Seeing Like a Supply Chain! And of course I’m swamped with grading and lesson-planning, but maybe I can say a little about the book and the process of researching it. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Okay mi opinión snob es que si no puedes ver películas con subtítulos como cultura, tu capacidad de hablar del cine es limitada

Came across walk at MängudeÖÖ in Tallinn, Estonia & genuinely think it might be my game of the year. It is painfully elegant, super simple, beautifully executed, the feelings just burst out of it, and it is engaging for exactly how long it lasts. It's like €2. store.steampowered.com/app/4563880/...
