This is an excellent interview/discussion for those who want to know more about our current moment with AI, the economy, and energy. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/talking-with…

If you're doing *any* out of class assessment, you're incentivizing AI use and harming students who do the work themselves. But some day we have to assess writing again. The solution is monitored computer-labs. What Universities are building these? We need to push for them.

@jhendersonYT I want to see a study that measures these stats across different fields, removing all journals that are not accepted as authentic by experts in each field, and showing stats at upper end of rankings of journals.
English
52% of new articles are AI-generated. There’s no reason to think this won’t continue. Writing is going to become a boutique craft, something quaint people do as historical reennactment.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.
The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.
1/ Here's what's happening.

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

@rbnmckenna86 Right!? The shift in my phenomenology when reading such essays has completely changed.
English
god bless the student essay that is so confused and rambling there is zero chance that they used AI.
English
Okay, okay. Thank you! Geez.
Victor Kumar@victorckumar
Analytic philosopher here, I refuted someone recently and they never even thanked me.

@fabcariani @MattNoahSmith @EliseWoodard20 I don’t remember you ranting, but I remember you being confident yet not arrogant, which was good.
English
@MattNoahSmith @EliseWoodard20 100% I was way too comfortable

Note that 67% of Democrats describe Israel's military actions in Gaza as 'genocide', 'major war crimes', or 'unjustified'.
Only 13% of Democrats describe them as 'justified'. Unfortunately, they include the leaders of the Democratic Party (Booker, Harris, Jeffries, Schumer etc).
Adam Johnson@adamjohnsonCHI
I think “hands off” is a great protest rallying cry. I also think making “hands off NATO” an option for a sign but making zero mention of Gaza (or Trump’s explicit endorsement of ethnic cleansing in Gaza) in any of the protest materials is beyond cowardly handsoff2025.com

@victorckumar And then she replied “it’s an epistemic norm, Daddy, not an all things considered norm.”

Analytic philosopher here, explained to my daughter that I can’t say she’s pretty -- because of the knowledge norm of assertion and the sensitivity condition on knowledge. She’s crying but the argument is valid. AITA?

@BrandonWarmke @Alex_A_Guerrero You nailed the consensus on the right, Brandon. Good work you’re doing for Trump and Elon.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump!
English
@Alex_A_Guerrero Yes, much better, you nailed the left consensus perfectly. The parting shot is 🤌🏻
English
The left consensus on Tesla seems to be that trying to punish Elon with boycotts is worth it, no matter what it does to other important political projects. Sometimes the friend-enemy distinction dominates.
Troy Cross@thetrocro
Tesla’s tech and pricing is far better than the competition. This sort of thing WILL result in slower decarbonization, ie, more warming. Yet I haven’t heard anyone on the left say that. They’re too mad at that guy to care about the globe.

@TWilliamson55 Maybe this person fell asleep each night wondering whether or not it’s possible to know when they would be asleep.
English
Someone said to Tim after a lecture: “I currently have your Vagueness book as bedtime reading.” Tim replied: “I hope it gives you many hours of sleep” 😴 🤣

@philoshua I just wish there was more of a continuous, public alliance with others like @AOC and @ChrisMurphyCT
English
Bernie Sanders is a weirdo on the mainstream left right now in that he focuses on issues where the left position has something like majority support.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders
Great rally in Kenosha. 4,000 people came out to say: NO tax breaks for billionaires. NO cuts to Medicaid. NO oligarchy. NO authoritarianism. NO MORE billionaires buying elections.

A really interesting essay on what photographs can and cannot capture - by the philosopher @dan_star @aeonmag aeon.co/essays/an-indi…
English
@schafer_karl As Camus said, the only really important philosophical question is whether or not to commit suicide when one gets a negative book review.
