- We will have an exciting workshop at COLM this year! (Co-organizing with Wenting Zhao and Peter West)
- Nathan Fielder could prove the critical period is a social phenomenon without psychedelics
- cool new paper from us t.co/BKLhZ4fHEt
- Inbox 61 ⁉️ Why do I always find the time to catch up on emails during deadline weeks...
- "The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to troops or national security." ... is it just me or does this sound like they got ChatGPT to summarize?
- In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
- "a Thursday – that liminal day that tastes of almost-Friday" wow, this is so true.
- Who should I read / follow who has analyzed power and community dynamics of digital spaces as though they are real physical spaces? Particularly when it comes to policymaking and moderation, community and identity, decentralized platforms
- What are your favorite talks / lectures you've seen recently (or ever)? Could be in NLP, ML, cogsci, etc. or further outside of this to :)
- I would love to read a critical analysis of /r/conservative as a microcosm of fascist ideology and policy and its influence on the shape and dynamics of a "community".
- Nice sentence from this paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (CoreNLP is totally wrong)
- Before I got on an SSRI, my serotonin levels would fluctuate rapidly to the point I would get mini-seizures. This happened for YEARS before I stabilized them with an SSRI.
- Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
- so they have to justify _not_ flagging things as "DEIA"?
- Most of my colleagues are shocked when I bring up these comments to them. Being in academia doesn't mean we are protected, or even simply ignored by this. We and our institutions are being actively attacked by policies like funding freezes, and I don't see why it wouldn't get worse than that.
- Same in CA tried calling Padilla, Schiff, Rep Simon and either no option to leave message or full message box.
- I really, really hope that cis people see what is happening here.
- systemic dissolution of meaning. what does it mean to "rescind" an order? well, it doesn't mean the order itself is rescinded. you still have to comply with it! what's rescinded is us telling you about it
- Interesting video essay about concept formation, community, and consequences of naming. It also feels like there's something interesting here wrt. building behemoth artifacts on an impossibly thin slice of culture with no true test of innovation or adaptation, and why text-to-image models impress us
