Going absolutely feral as I receive the one-millionth email asking me how AI affects my work.

Its only effect is increasing the number of emails I delete because it’s dogshit and had no use-case for me before it was shoved into every productivity software I use on a day-to-day basis.

Gosh golly.

If you need a timeline cleanse you should know that Dexter Sol Ansell who plays Egg on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms went to school as Egg for World Book Day.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It’s not β€œidentity politics” to not want to be denied equality or mistreated because of your identity. In case anyone was wondering.

To conclude, I'd like to paraphrase Sara Ahmed: if activism is seen as damaging the epistemic mission of the university, then we need to damage the epistemic mission of the university. And we need to damage it so thoroughly that it has to confront the conditions that structure that mission.

Aside from the fact that the contemporary academy has structured the term "activist" to indicate that a given academic and their work should not be taken seriously, the rise of the "activist" in the academy, and activist fields, is coextensive with the opening of the academy to marginalized folks.

Fantastic that so many schools bent over backwards with anticipatory compliance because it gave them a convenient excuse to further marginalize, cut, and under-resource these programs and services

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor
