I don't see why the University of Oklahoma should, under its current administration, continue to enjoy accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission.
“The latest educator removed from the classroom allegedly told students they would be excused for attending a Friday protest in support of a transgender instructor who was suspended for accurately grading a paper.”

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

1. I agree with this take 2. This is far more optimistic than I'm used to seeing from The Bulwark and I'm down with it.
"They wanted this to go differently."
The crackdown isn’t going as planned. Courts are blocking schemes, cities are pushing back, and protesters are making life very uncomfortable for Trump’s enforcers.
@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social explain how resistance is working.

Not sure if @cpaxton.bsky.social came up with this or paraphrased it from someone else, but I’d be fine saying that “A robot demo video tells you that the robot can do no more than exactly what it did in the video” is Paxton’s Razor
at this point my default assumption is that any purportedly-autonomous thing is either following a prewritten script or is actually teleoperated

There's a bunch of webcams on top of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano so you can watch it erupt. The latest eruption just straight up assassinated one of them. The lava fountain on the left is landing directly on top of one of the webcams.

Whatever else it can do, this tech adds work and erodes trust. The extra work is time-wasting and wearying, and I resent the erosion of trust most deeply. I cannot believe it is healthy for society to be ever less sure that anything you encounter is the real thought or expression of a fellow human
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).
