I literally warned y'all about exactly this kind of harmful outcome from GPT integrations, & even told you *why/how* it'd happen. And if it's showing in résumé sorting, then bet it's about break as having been happening in patient portals & police reports & lending application sorters & on & on & on

“UW researchers found that ChatGPT consistently ranked resumes with disability-related honors and credentials — such as the ‘Tom Wilson Disability Leadership Award’ — lower than the same resumes without those honors and credentials.”

They're not gonna deport 20 million people. They're gonna deport the labor organizers, the guys who ask for raises, the guys who leave the pork processing plant to get a better job elsewhere. Our agriculture sector runs on immigrant labor and draconian immigration laws are about giving bosses power

Goodnight 'I want to calm down, to rest, to outlive this nonsense.' — Anne Sexton, from a letter to Dennis Farrell written c. June 1962

The three primary applications of data science are: - surveillance - sales - resource allocation/minimization Scientific research is a distant fourth.

All colors are beautiful, lol

They gave too much of themselves over to the great machine and could not pull back as the maw slowly closed over them.

My cultural inheritance right here.

It’s June 4, 2024, and today is the 50th anniversary of one of the most important days in Cleveland history. TEN CENT BEER NIGHT. If you don’t know about Ten Cent Beer Night, please please please read this. This is my first thread. It will be long, but it will absolutely 100% be worth it.

And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is There."

Taking time to truly understand self care and implement it into my life has been a game changer.

Truly we’re not worthy of our young people. The claim isn’t that they’re correct about everything, just that they’re more reliable than any of our institutions.

"The student left is the most reliably correct constituency in America. Over the past 60 years, it has passed every great moral test American foreign policy has forced upon the public, including the Vietnam war, apartheid South Africa, and the Iraq war." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

US students, once again, have led the way. Now we must all stand up for Palestine | Osita Nwanevuwww.theguardian.com Campus protests in solidarity with the people of Gaza have braved abuse and police raids but history will be kinder

How do we feel about “demilitarize the police” as a slogan?

All of our institutions have failed us.

Apparently Congress will want my University to fire me for saying "bombing a refugee camp 100x is genocide" because that is antisemitism

I love this Hades Aphrodite controversy; it owns so hard. “Aphrodite is too woke, games are so soft” she is a naked redhead on your video game screen. If I played this at 14, my head would’ve exploded. You have lost the plot so badly, it can never be found.

Today is a very good day to finally stop reading the Times once and for all

Everyone else stop. We have a winner.

Hire this man for SNL. He’s got the impression *down*.

Biden, *while leaning forward on podium, his voice low, avuncular*: “Come on, man. That’s a tragedy. A TRAGEDY. And that’s exactly why we need more cops to prevent stuff like this from happening. I know grief. I know it. Man. We’ve gotta cut this stuff out. 100,000 more cops will help us do that.”

Just remember: Arts & Humanities are so useless and pointless that Tech Bros were driven to spend billions of dollars to try and get a computer to do something that badly approximates something Arts & Humanities students could do half asleep and wired on coffee the night before the due date.
