The @aclmeeting@twitter.com policy on AI Writing Assistants is excellent. It is detailed, thoughtful, and informative.

Well done!

I've been frustrated, depressed and alarmed at this "what's wrong with Russians for not rising up" debate, which I find dishonest, venal and dangerous. Since it's not going away, I took a stab at it. With lots of personal stories from Russia and beyond.⬇️

I know I publish too many papers. But some of my colleagues publish 100 papers a year: e.g. https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=1GQSnmwAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate and there are assistant professors who publish >50. Seems widespread (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06185-8) Is this a good development? How do people even do that?

The public discourse about #freedomOfSpeech in #Russia is so low that @navalny@twitter.com defends himself from accusations by threatening academics. Apparently projects himself in some future very powerful position

@albats@twitter.com @navalny@twitter.com @navalny@twitter.com respond with another ad hominem attack against a critic who pointed out to a verifiable fact. @albats@twitter.com left him a loophole to deny it, while saving his face - the inaccurate description. But Navalny resorts to lies and ad hominem slander

The current climate in AI has so many parallels to 2021 web3 it's making me uncomfortable. Narratives based on zero data are accepted as self-evident. Everyone is expecting as a sure thing "civilization-altering" impact (& 100x returns on investment) in the next 2-3 years

“The essence of bullshit is not that it is false but that it is phony. In order to appreciate this distinction, one must recognize that a fake or a phony need not be in any respect, apart from authenticity itself, inferior to the real thing. What is not genuine may not also be defective in some other way. It may be, after all, an exact copy. What is wrong with a counterfeit is not what it is like, but how it was made.”

I’ve spoken to so many people who want to get into training models with dreambooth. There is often a breakdown, however, when they try to figure out how to pull together a dataset. I have a helpful analogy thread:

If @Harvard@twitter.com feels empowered to block a slam-dunk candidate @KenRoth@twitter.com over Israel criticism, imagine the chilling effect across academia on lesser-known -- and particularly Palestinian -- critics of Israeli repression. https://pen.org/press-release/pen-america-expresses-dismay-over-harvards-denial-of-fellowship-to-former-human-watch-executive-director-ken-roth/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-pug

Now that Atom is definitely dead, I've made the long overdue switch to VSCode, which is excellent. You have no idea how excited lexiconerds can get over niche party favorites à la built-in Unicode homoglyph detection. Farewell, invisibly messy Cyrillic word lists! Hello, bliss!

I guess this is just another example of how @nytimes@twitter.com and @washingtonpost@twitter.com are not the quality media they pretend to be. And maybe of why the independence-asuring model of the @guardian@twitter.com is not something exotic, but a necessity

The op-ed works to create the appearance of a “debate” on more or less settled issues. This is a powerful function, bolstered by the NYT imprimatur, which allows it serve as a “Potemkin citation” -- a seemingly credible reference in support of bad privacy laws and platforms. 4/
