Incredible: AI can predict the winner of the 2024 election. Looks like there will be a few surprises; for example, there's a good chance that Iowa will win Texas.

If you plan on voting for Jill Stein or Trump because of the war in the Middle East, please watch and reconsider. It’s just 6 minutes and it’s worth the watch.

What a coincidence that we released announcements about LLM bias on the same day! But our conclusions were different - OpenAI found minimal bias while we found significant bias. 👀
Why is this? 🧐

I am very proud to work with @IrisVanRooij and her team at the Department of Computational Cognitive Science and AI at @Radboud_Uni. Read this if you want to understand why human-level AI is impossible. Don’t fall for the AI hype.

Just presented my latest paper on feminism and programming languages, which was very scary, as it is such a personal exploration of what it means to research programming languages, but I am very proud of it (joint work with @arischlesinger)

Our political economy is so heavily monopolized, under-transparent, & under-accountable that it can't produce edible waffles; yet some believe that education can be safely outsourced to for-profit bots pushed by billionaires & tech corps that have no understanding of education.
More than 500 varieties of frozen waffles manufactured by TreeHouse Foods and sold under major store brands such as Walmart's Great Value and Target's Good & Gather have been recalled because they might be contaminated with listeria. cbsn.ws/4dYpOp3

apropos of nothing, I think the instrumental value of education is overrated and the substantive value of education is underrated because freedom and human flourishing aren't really priorities in this kind of society

If higher ed valued writing across disciplines & invested in the teaching of writing like it values building dorms, we wouldn't have an AI writing crisis. Writing wouldn't be seen as a bunch of grammar skills that need policing. Writing knowledge would be enculturated on campus.
