Hey @ericlipton.nytimes.com 👋
AI is not “evolving” on its own.
*People* are choosing how to build it. *People* are choosing how to train it. *People* are choosing how to run it.
Maybe the problem is that they are the *wrong people* to make these choices.

OpenAI’s top scientist, in a blog post on Sunday, warns that artificial intelligence is evolving so rapidly that it is becoming increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control it.
Here is the post:

And a couple of small excerpts--clear warnings.

New article:
My new #openaccess article in Cultural Sociology traces how authoritarian power evolves and shows how #democracy can be hollowed out by actors who capture institutions, flood the public sphere, and weaken our capacity to act together.

My first solo-author article, Is the Far-Right Anti-Science?, is now published in Social Epistemology. It explores the far-right’s epistemic struggle to claim scientific authority, attacking and co-opting science to legitimise white supremacy & misogyny—an issue academia must increasingly attend to
Excellent and incredibly timely article
'scholars must engage deeply with the far-right’s epistemic and metapolitical strategies, exploring how to challenge scientific misinformation when it assumes the appearance of scientific legitimacy'

Planning to apply to Ecology and Evolution PhD programs this fall after an unintentional hiatus from academia. I am curious what has changed in the application process over the past couple years. Is bluesky a useful platform for finding potential PIs? Grateful for any help. Thank you.

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.
Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.
Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"
