Incredible: AI can predict the winner of the 2024 election. Looks like there will be a few surprises; for example, there's a good chance that Iowa will win Texas.

If you plan on voting for Jill Stein or Trump because of the war in the Middle East, please watch and reconsider. It’s just 6 minutes and it’s worth the watch. https://t.co/1E9xzUYXtt

What a coincidence that we released announcements about LLM bias on the same day! But our conclusions were different - OpenAI found minimal bias while we found significant bias. 👀 Why is this? 🧐 🧵
We’re releasing a new study that explores how users’ names can impact ChatGPT’s responses.

I am very proud to work with @IrisVanRooij and her team at the Department of Computational Cognitive Science and AI at @Radboud_Uni. Read this if you want to understand why human-level AI is impossible. Don’t fall for the AI hype. https://t.co/knAuF23BsW

Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable. However,
OpenAI $6.6 billion funding for "goal is to combine its LLMs over time to create an even more capable model that could eventually be called artificial general intelligence, or AGI." https://t.co/dmfnITuOpg Human-Level AI Is Impossible — Ever @IrisVanRooij

Just presented my latest paper on feminism and programming languages, which was very scary, as it is such a personal exploration of what it means to research programming languages, but I am very proud of it (joint work with @arischlesinger) https://t.co/PTH0TKhw0l

Our political economy is so heavily monopolized, under-transparent, & under-accountable that it can't produce edible waffles; yet some believe that education can be safely outsourced to for-profit bots pushed by billionaires & tech corps that have no understanding of education.
More than 500 varieties of frozen waffles manufactured by TreeHouse Foods and sold under major store brands such as Walmart's Great Value and Target's Good & Gather have been recalled because they might be contaminated with listeria.

apropos of nothing, I think the instrumental value of education is overrated and the substantive value of education is underrated because freedom and human flourishing aren't really priorities in this kind of society

If higher ed valued writing across disciplines & invested in the teaching of writing like it values building dorms, we wouldn't have an AI writing crisis. Writing wouldn't be seen as a bunch of grammar skills that need policing. Writing knowledge would be enculturated on campus.

As some of us have been saying for a very long time, the main threat to the humanities and knowledge in general comes from capitalism, not from the Republican Party. Democrats control every branch of government in Connecticut.
The full list of the 70 majors under examination for low enrollment at UConn: languages, a ton of ed, art, art history, environmental sci (who needs that? 🫠), social work, gender & sexuality studies, Africana, Lat Am, philosophy. So epic & obscene. https://t.co/wc8tsSyNAa

When I was young I fixed my parents’ computer and now that I’m older I fix computers for my kids. Are we the only generation that knows how computers work?
