    @bourgwick what a debacle.

    So entirely fed up with the AI discourse that has emerged over the past year-plus. Everyone is just repeating the same takes and angles they have been repeating for the last 15 years of digital technology. Meanwhile, academics chase AI related grant money (even “critical AI studies” is complicit), our students write all their papers with AI, and rich capitalists get richer. Rinse, repeat.

    @brianstorms indeed; I’m still interested in what the computer scientist philosophers have to say to some degree, there are just a lot (more) of those other self-interested operators out there.

    Today was a long day, but the little kid dancing w/ a suitcase to “Wuthering Heights” in Milano Centrale was a good city moment. 💃

    @gleemie hi Lilly nice to have you here. I don’t use this as much as I used to but it’s more a general trend of me using social media less. Great to see you.

    Just saw the really sad news that @stevesilberman has died, and at a shockingly young age. The news makes me really sad- and really angry, for the first time in a long time (I&amp;#39;ve mostly gotten over it), at Elon Musk. Steve and I were the kind of &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; that only existed on Twitter in the early 2010s. We never met, and he became super famous, but we definitely hung out in that early Twitter way. What a weird feeling.
