Treat your attention like your ancestors treated fire: sacred, finite, and worth protecting from thieves.

[1/2] I don't normally make commentary videos, but after seeing the entirety of Eric Schmidt's University of Arizona commencement speech, I felt like there was a lot more going on than just "CEO mentions AI, gets booed". So I made a video to explain what upset me about it.

The Israeli army blew up my aunt Zeinab’s house yesterday. She is the fourth immediate family member of mine to have her house destroyed by the IDF in the past two months, ours was destroyed in April. The IDF knew that this house had no weapons or any sort of military presence, since as can be seen on the fourth photo, they had occupied it for a few days before destroying it: we’ve obtained a subscription to a satellite service, and have been monitoring the area daily to check on our family’s homes. The house was destroyed yesterday as part of a systematic and evil process of destroying every single house in the village of Bint Jbeil. Israel has been making my family homeless for generations. My grandparents lost their homes to them once. My mother has lost her home to them three times, and myself twice. None of us have ever been involved in any sort of “resistance” or military action against Israel. In every case, we have been uninvolved, innocent civilians: I am a cryptographer, my mother is a retired journalist, and my father a deceased philosophy professor. My uncles and aunts are history professors and homemakers. May the world bear witness to this.

@DemetriSpanos Also worth noting that this is not the first generation that was taught that "close enough is just fine". The previous generation was taught that "nowhere close is just fine", and this generation is effectively being taught that "close enough to nowhere close is just fine".

Outsider: I have investigated this academic field and found that it is mostly fake. Insider: This essay adds nothing to the discourse. All of these so-called "problems" are discussed in Hamilton and Schwartz’s "Our Entire Field Is Mostly Fake" (2009). You absolute buffoon.

Contrary to the AI accusations, Jamir Nazir is a real human writer. We went to the Wyoming Writers Workshop together in 2015, after having both been dismissed from the Iowa Writers Workshop, I for having claimed for the 5th year in a row I was doing research for my novel on writer's block by not writing, Jamir, or Michael Stevens, as he was known then, for writing as Jamir Nazir, despite being a New Jerseyite with no connection to Trinidad whatsoever. Jamir always maintained that the dismissal was retaliation for his contention that MFA prose style is plebeian (he has a PhD in organic chemistry and is surely furious that he is not being referred to as Dr Nazir in this discourse), that the master's degree holders simply had status envy and felt threatened by him and his brand of post-postcolonialism, too abstract for mere MFAs, in which postcolonial subjectivity was liberated from the oppressive condition of having to reside within a postcolonial subject
Commonwealth Foundation Creatives@cwfcreatives

‘The Serpent in the Grove’ by Jamir Nazir is a story set in rural Trinidad about a struggling farmer, a silenced young wife and a grove that seems to remember what others try to bury. Awarded the Caribbean regional winner title for its lyrical precision and haunting atmosphere, the story stood out for the confidence and restraint of its voice. The story has been published on Granta: granta.com/the-serpent-in…

The academic freakout about professors being punished for turning in papers with LLM-hallucinated references and other errors is a good example of how LLMs are already lowering our standards for everything. We just expect less and less, and get it...
