New version of my paper with @cubel.bsky.social on gender biases in film criticism.

Using 2,000 reviews from two Spanish-language outlets, we find that films directed by women receive lower ratings, with the gap concentrated in 4- and 5-star reviews. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

After a week back on LinkedIn, it is much more active and inhabited than Bluesky. The content is different too. Leaving aside the algorithmic sludge and self-promotion, I’m struck by the constant AI boosting by economists and the near-total absence of discussion of an AI bubble or possible bailouts.

Esto es lo que hay, lo que está en marcha. Consecuencias de lo que se hizo mal en el pasado, seguro, pero contra lo que hay que hacer algo decisivo porque nos jugamos el futuro democratico de España.

Cruelty is the point.
Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum.

Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Abismal el nivel de los medios patrios con el tema del supuesto apocalipsis IA. Minimo conocimiento del origen y de la periodica aparicion de estas ideas y de sus motivaciones, cero consciencia de la irresponsabilidad que cometen poniendo fotitos de Terminator 2 en sus noticias.

1/2 One thought after @doctorow.pluralistic.net ’s talk yesterday in London: our feeds are full of academics (economists especially) genuinely and unreservedly enthusiastic about AI. I do not dispute that for many of us it can be a very useful technology that expands our research capabilities.

My AI takes:

-data centers: still bad.
-A.I. for coding: if the coders say it works, I'm not gonna fight them over that.
-How big of a deal we make out of A.I. coding really depends on where you sit.
-A.I. isn't vaporware... but the A.I. future ABSOLUTELY is.

About the "let's leave the far-right govern so they make a fool of themselves":

1) only from privilege one can ignore the harm they will inflict upon the vulnerable and the economy as a whole
&
2) you're assuming they will not exploit their power to entrench by twisting narratives and institutions.

Sorry, but hypocrisy charges do not work with these guys.
Alice Weidel, the leader of the neo Nazi AfD party in Germany, is a lesbian woman married to an immigrant woman of color with two adopted kids

She is proudly anti immigrant, anti LGBT and anti LGBT adoption and lives primarily in Switzerland.

Rights for me, none for thee.

Elsevier has put its own profits over quality of research for decades now. Wait and see whom they recruit to fill the shell of this once-top field journal's editorial board. (They apparently declined advice from anyone in the journal's community.) GEB will probably be re-born under a new name....

Friends, have you seen the investigation on UK students hiring Kenyans to write their papers & dissertations?

I assume it wasn't cross Atlantic news as the media only seems to be interested in laundering eugenics to the mainstream.
