I'm still thinking about a longer blog post about LLMs, and one of the things I keep thinking about them is how they not only cause direct harm to the community, but also make people more suspicious of one another. And then I've been pointed out this text:
"I'm Kenyan. I Don't Write Like ChatGPT. ChatGPT Writes Like Me."
"""
I am a writer. A writer who also happens to be Kenyan. And I have come to this thesis statement: I don't write like ChatGPT. ChatGPT, in its strange, disembodied, globally-sourced way, writes like me. Or, more accurately, it writes like the millions of us who were pushed through a very particular educational and societal pipeline, a pipeline deliberately designed to sandpaper away ambiguity, and forge our thoughts into a very specific, very formal, and very impressive shape.

Only work-product of 45’s DoJ task force about weaponization of DoJ by Biden is a report with thesis Biden DoJ enforced the FACE Act (meant to stop attacks or blocking health clinics) unevenly, focusing mainly on anti-choice people/orgs.
On page 17 it points out how the Biden DoJ enforced evenly, and intended to keep the law in place. They unmake their thesis (and the Task Force’s purpose). The current DoJ has convinced me Biden’s DoJ was not weaponized.

Patrick Bambach of the @… successfully defended his thesis “Calibration of the Jovian Electron and Ion Analyzer (JEI) for the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE)” at the University of Stuttgart.

i’m reviewing a master’s thesis that is extremely well-written but doesn’t really make any sense #SlopAlert

‘Popesplaining’ Vance is out of his depth in the argument over whether Iran is a 'just war'
The contrast in experience between the two men disagreeing over war and theology was striking.
⭐️On the one side was Pope Leo XIV, the first North American to head the Catholic church and the first cleric from the Augustinian order,
who this week visited the modern Algerian city where Saint Augustine once lived.
For Leo, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine’s ideas…

> Ardour’s latency delay compensation was the subject of a Ph.D thesis.
And somehow this is the first I'm hearing about this. Completely unpretentious…

Basis for delay compensation
This is entirely out of date now. Ardour’s latency delay compensation was the subject of a Ph.D thesis. There are delay lines all over the place, and come very complex design. Everything is fully latency compensated. @x42 will likely chime in to correct me.

A few months after handing in my thesis and receiving my Master of Science degree in 2022, ChatGPT was released. Essentially, nothing about how I solve problems has changed since then, but I had to continuously observe the brain drain around me. It's weird how the majority of people suddenly treat anything an LLM spits out as truth while I stick to good old search engines (with the additional hurdle of now having to filter LLM garbage from my search results).

The Race to the Bottom | Art Berman
Welcome to the twilight of the Industrial Age. Growth is ending. That was the blunt thesis of a recent essay, and the signals are already here—deindustrialization, grid stress, financial instability, and rising geopolitical conflict. The Honest Sorcerer’s argument is simple: growth depends on ever-faster drawdown of energy and materials as…

Anyone have suggestions on CI platforms/dashboards besides github actions?
I'm looking at using CDash potentially for ngscopeclient moving forward but need to work out specifics of how the jobs will actually be launched etc.
(I liked CDash years ago when I used it for my thesis but havent touched it in forever)

Stefan Horn at bartlett IIPP made a strong defence of his thesis today on splitting out housing rents which sustain needs within enviro limits from the balance - pure extraction

A new investment thesis has spread through global markets at the start of 2026, as trading strategies long built on the primacy of the United States now opt for a new approach:
Sell America.
The sentiment started to take hold in financial circles after the shock of sky-high tariffs sent stocks and bonds into a tailspin last April,
but it has taken off recently as the Trump administration has pursued policies like attacks on the Federal Reserve’s independence and threats of …

Sell America Is the New Trade on Wall Street
Investors are increasingly souring on the United States, as illustrated by the declining dollar, the stalled stock market and rising government borrowing costs.

I've never really put patches (is that the correct translation?) on my stuff, but I'm starting to consider having one with crossed out "AI", and "I have my own brain*" next to it.
