However tragic this story is, all I said on the matter still stands. Cambridge and other institutions involved should still be held accountable. They will now try to absolve themselves by pointing to the tragedy, but those of us who still care about expertise should not let them do it.
OK folks, Arday is gone now. But we—academics and everyone else who still cares about truth and public trust—cannot let it go yet.

the people he's throwing a fit about didn't even @ him, they quoted the atlantic account. he sought them out bsky.app/profile/akou...
You've all seen previously the calls to fire me in response to my tentative thoughts about AI use in academia, and if you think that was an anomaly, look at how the same people reacted to my recent Atlantic piece: over a hundred unhinged quote posts like this one.

Why aren’t anti-racist academics signing the « in defence of racism » letter, they ask.

I wish more academic folks on the left with strong anti-racist views would sign this too.
This is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it.
We're at a crossroads: if we can't uphold academic freedom even for those whose views are despicable, we won't agree on anything else.

As for this, no thank you. But I do hope someone else has the time to look at your unverified translations and find all the howlers for you.

In the meantime, I just used these stochastic parrots to redesign my website, publish it, and translate all my writing into most world languages in less than one day.

p.s. When you say you agree with all three, do you mean you agree with me that these are bad, or that you are in fact promoting all three?

I actually agree with all three. But here's one genuine question for you and your followers: can LLMs also help translate simple texts well?
If so, just to make things concrete, would it be wrong for, e.g., an asylum seeker to use one to translate a legal notice into a language they understand?

Sure, LLMs are useful for:
1. Fraud
2. Plagiarism
3. Cognitive off-loading
Which of those use-cases are you promoting?

Social media has been a net loss for humanity. Its one silver lining was a public square, and even that is gone now. Except on one platform few would guess. My case for the supremacy of LinkedIn for intellectual discussions.
Don't believe me? Cross-post to LinkedIn for a month and see for yourself:

For folks who still believe it's OK to stay on this website, I'm genuinely curious: can you go through these quote posts and tell me with a straight face that this is an acceptable way for adults with PhDs to engage in intellectual discussion in 2026?

“For many years, a robust norm held in American politics: You could be in favor of legal immigration while still opposing illegal immigration,” Alexander Kustov writes. That norm is now in danger of collapsing, putting every legal immigration channel at risk:
