A question I'd ask the American political elite is how many students and professors are you willing to beat into a pulp in order to shield Israel from perfectly legitimate criticism based on widely shared principles?

Horrifying. Has everyone lost the plot? So little attention either to the actual war in Gaza or all this? Some students being foolish seems minor compared to a nationwide crackdown on protest—in red states but not just. What rights will people miss under a Trump presidency?

Columbia University would rather risk their students being murdered by NYPD than divest from genocide
This has to be the darkest day I’ve ever experienced as an academic. Universities ordering physical violence against the students to whom we’ve been entrusted to educate. Again and again. It goes against everything I believe in. I feel disgusted by my vocation.
Columbia's web page discussing its regret for calling in police to arrest students in 1968 is displaying a warning about limited access due to NYPD on campus arresting students. May Columbia never live this down.
Facebook is serving people AI-generated images of mutilated and starving children as part of low-grade engagement scams. I don’t get how this isn’t an existential crisis for Meta, the company doesn’t appear to care. 404media.co/ai-images-of-d…

Here’s a useful Arabic proverb for this kind of hypocrisy: “He kills the victim, and marches in his funeral”

ZIONISTS ARE SETTING OFF FIREWORKS AT UCLA ENCAMPMENT. GET TO UCLA NOW AND DEFEND THE STUDENTS
In response, @Columbia has fully locked down campus. We can’t get in to offices, students can’t get in to take exams. It’s clear that Columbia’s own measures are doing the most to disrupt student life right now.
CNN’s special coverage of the NYPD crackdown has been rolling for over an hour. No explanation of what the students are protesting. No mention of Palestine, Gaza or war crimes. No interviews with student protesters or their advocates. Loads of airtime reserved for ex-NYPD…
A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.
NOW: The situation at CCNY has rapidly spiraled out of control Protesters tried to break through the barricades which led to absolute chaos breaking out People thrown to the ground and journalists (including me) were hit and shoved by officers in the melee
columbia university admin threatened immediate expulsion for students occupying hind hall but couldn’t expel the students who attacked us with chemical weapons, despite hospitalizing 15 people.

When I read a talk title with « LLM » or « GenAi » in it I mentally replace it with « massive plagiarism ». « How ‘massive plagiarism’ helped me as a <profession> » « The opportunities of ´massive plagiarism’ for <field> » « What is <field> in the age of ‘massive plagiarism’ »
You may accuse me of being an Abeba fanboy (and… ok you’ve got me there BUT STILL) It is beautiful how every thing she writes and talks about LLM or AI remains consistently a banger when you apply my heuristic to it x.com/abebab/status/…
"direct harms from gen AI (that you can regulate) pale in comparison to the cost of societal adaptation and of the extractive business model."
@Abebab It does not matter that what we call "AI" can't even consistently multiply numbers together. We must call it AI so it can maintain associations with sci-fi ideas of artificial intelligence. It doesn't matter that this is a pixel skinsuit, we must pretend it has a mind.
@Abebab What is dead may never die, apparently. It's also insultingly low effort. This instance is perfectly emblematic of a culture that seeks power, status, intellect & wealth by alluding to associations with people who possess any of those things, by using a simulacrum of the real

@Abebab ah thank you! available here osf.io/preprints/lawa…
@SamanthaDalal @Abebab Sadly i don't think I know anything specifically examining this dataset
Okay, I'm gonna stop doing things for other people and code now and no one can stop me.
Good article in The Observer about the Future of Humanity Institute being shut down by Oxford. The journalist who wrote it asked me for my thoughts, and here's one thing I said that didn't end up in the article: theguardian.com/technology/202…
@Abebab I've also previously dug really deep into CFD and it's various versions, since we used it for the paper, so I can potentially comment on it in more detail if it would be helpful.
@Abebab I also really wished there was a better skin color scale like the monk skin tone scale at the time, plus a dataset. I strongly suspect the failures are much more severe for models like CLIP, in line with gender shades, if evaluated on skin tone, instead of self-classified race.
Dudes will edit cows before shutting down coal-fired power plants.
Bill Gates: Artificial intelligence, combined with "our ability to edit genes", will enable us to dramatically reduce methane emissions by "making the cows better".
@Abebab i guess my current project *might* count? i do take a look at the construction of CFD (and facial datasets in general), will likely have an empirical study up for CSCW 2025? (and a related book chapter that's more theory-heavy)
