    I’ve just read 25 student essays, the vast majority of them extruded from ChatGPT. So depressing. I copy paste and tweak the feedback. What a waste of everyone’s time. #AI

    Putting two (el Nino) and two (AI bubble) and two (this article about all the capital pushing insurance prices down https://www.ft.com/content/3cae57bd-c2d8-4ed5-87a8-644a27c86d93?syn-25a6b1a6=1) together… it looks like it may be adding up to a horrific hurricane season precipitating a massive financial meltdown. I want to be wrong. We’ll see.

    @cstross@wandering.shop a stretch, really? You’ve fleshed it out pretty nicely I think. Petty personal conflict ends up at the heart of British political life, blowing up relations with Europe… tale as old as time I suppose

    @ghost_shit@aus.social I&#39;m looking forward to discussing my activities with local police. The bike is locked up on the busiest intersection in the borough, across from a tube station. Hooray.

    Frequently I see academics describing themselves in their public profiles as &amp;quot;activists&amp;quot;. I&amp;#39;m not sure what they think this means. In my experience, being an &amp;#39;activist&amp;#39; puts you in conflict with exactly the kinds of institutions that employ academics. I do not advertise my activism on my CV etc. Should I though? I&amp;#39;m curious about academics who do advertise their activism, and what that activism entails. Please share thoughts if this is you #aca...

    @adamgreenfield not disagreeing with you, but note that this is a difficult / complicated position for a self-described anarchist to take.

    I&#39;ve set an alert for a used/out of print book and every time I get a notification the price has gone up. Now £250. Sigh. #books

    history rhymes. this passage from Dalrymple&#39;s history of the East India Company is about Britain in 1599 and the excised word is &#39;religion&#39;, but you could easily be talking about #Brexit today.

    I’m sitting behind Krishnan Gurumurthy at the #GreenParty local election launch. In 2022 we had almost no press. Now we have everyone from Novara media to the Daily Mail.

    @katemorley Indeed, focusing people&amp;#39;s attention on a problem you are exacerbating with your policies is not a winning strategy. It&amp;#39;s incredible how bad they are at this.

    after 20 years, the key for my bike lock has broken off... in the lock. I have a spare, so now going to try to remove the key end with some combination of blu tac, super glue, needle nosed pliers and toothpicks. Hooray.

    Maybe we need some Mastodon merch, like a nice &amp;quot;AI people tears&amp;quot; mug

    Controversial opinion: if you&amp;#39;re a white European man, with a full-time academic job, in a famous institution, winning awards from wealthy organisations, getting an all expenses paid trip to give a conference keynote, then you are ill-equipped to speak about &amp;quot;[discipline] from the margins&amp;quot;. #academicChatter

    @cstross@wandering.shop ah, a classic catch-22: speak out against AI and you&#39;re out of a job. Use AI and it becomes clear that you and your job are not needed at all.
