Are we ready to stop yet? No? Someday in the future OpenAI will have the same fate as Purdue Pharmaceutical vt.tiktok.com/ZSH7Tu4Ue/

Oxford & Cambridge are beginning to select applicants based on ability to think rather than to know. AI-crafted admission statements are on the way out as far as admissions officers are concerned. HR departments & hiring managers take note! vt.tiktok.com/ZSH7vKsjK/

Do you use AI chatbots to "help" with thinking tasks or brainstorming or writing or summarizing? The seeming efficiency you're gaining comes at a high cost: You are slowly boiling your brain (like the proverbial frog) and losing cognitive capacity that may not return. futurism.com/artificial-i...

More on the statistical strangeness in the vote counting and reporting machines. Possibly why Trump didn't need your vote. vm.tiktok.com/ZMSPtJdqx/

Hey @maddow.msnbc.com Did you see this? substack.com/inbox/post/1... Remember when Orange Julius said he didn't need anyone's vote? THIS is what he was talking about.

And the plan continues to roll out levremembers.substack.com/p/trumps-mil...

This was always the plan 1. Escalate ICE kidnappings of anyone, incl citizens 2. Citizens to mobilize against illegal kidnappings 3. Reach a point where citizen mobilization "looks like" a riot 4. Call out the National Guard 5. Call out the military 6. Declare martial law Hello police state

Another piece of evidence from a large study suggesting that working from home produces healthier, happier, and more productive workers. No evidence that RTO mandates are better. (Org culture arguments have only been based on managers' & execs' feelings) farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

As if we hadn't known all along, RTO mandates are not about building culture or collaboration. They're about control b/c most managers & leaders still believe that employees cannot be trusted. This was "pre-bunked" during the pandemic. www.forbes.com/sites/curtst...

Given that yesterday was the biggest insider trading caper ever, that Trump even signaled at 9:37 a.m., you can understand that the "leaked" rumor from the day before that caused the market to jump for 20 minutes was the dry run. And nothing real will be done about it. Because, Congress...

This is what happens when major media companies succumb to an onslaught of right-wing trolls. Not a good look @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social Maybe the media gods want to think about their integrity before Canada's democracy goes the way of the US's vm.tiktok.com/ZMBHfrDmu/

Apparently, the Orange Stable Genius™ in the White House used a bad ChatGPT query to set the tariffs for the worldwide trade war. He's literally just "playing one on TV. " 🙄😱 vm.tiktok.com/ZMBHyyLHK/

Canada is not broken. Neither are Canadians! Vote wisely! #elbowsup #canadastrong

Are students trustworthy when it comes to exams? Turns out, the more we signal mistrust (eg. through proctored exams), the more they cheat! That's one reason my exams are all open-book, online, without lockdown browsers. And Turnitin? Turn-it-out! www.oise.utoronto.ca/about/news/1...

Quiet Quitting or Soft Quitting, both result from eroding the org'l social contract that discourages intrinsic motivation. Instead, organizations can foster a "passion to exceed" starting at the top Why Soft Quitting At Work Could Be More Dangerous Than Quiet Quitting www.forbes.com/sites/dianeh...
