Considering where this is, good chance it's 100% serious. In case y'all dont know, the wiccan community is also engaging in what can only be described as anti-fa magick. Whether u believe in it or not, it's worth noting.

Instead, algorithms gave us feedback loops of our opinions. Telling us what we wanted to hear & giving us more confidence in disinformation than ever.

This is one of the reasons I find universities’ uncritical embrace of gAI so troubling.
We’re inviting the wolf into our midst, they seek permanent customers in terms of enthralled staff, faculty and students incapable of working without LLMs at least, and worst, they seek complete dominance.

What if I told you undermining the faith in our academic institutions is one of the goals of the techbroligarchy.
It's a feature not a bug.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

“Generative AI chatbots are a probabilistic technology that can make mistakes, hallucinate false information & tell users what they want to hear. But when they present as humanlike, users ‘attribute higher credibility’ to the info they provide, research has found.”🧪
About to go on my first true work-free vacation of 2025 (I hope)! This is one of my final stories for the year, about the extremely humanlike chatbots we've been given and whether they should be that way.
Happy holidays, here's a gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/t...

Not enough of us are privy to the fact that there is currently a lot of infighting amongst all the most powerful & morally bankrupt companies, families, governments etc. we can think of.

Yup. WE ARE THE FLOOD GUYS.
Don't say "it will die in the senate"
Say "I will kill it in the senate"
And then call them. It takes so few calls, comparatively, to make it feel like a wave crashing over them. We need to be the wave, again and again.
