Employees who are impressed by vague corporate-speak like “synergistic leadership,” or “growth-hacking paradigms” may struggle with practical decision-making, a new Cornell study reveals.From https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/03/workers-who-love-synergizing-paradigms-might-be-bad-their-jobs
I tried reading this article replacing variations of "corporate" with "LLM" and it works. Right down to the "LLM Bullshit Receptivity Scale (LBSR)".

Researchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.
The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.

Vivement que ces élections municipales se terminent car c’est insupportable. Comme lors de chaque élection, ça se jette des dossiers, ça manigance comme des gosses dans une cours de récréation. Et au final ça se touche les couilles pendant tout le mandat.
Les politiques n’agissent pas pour leurs concitoyens mais pour leur propre personne, afin d’augmenter leur pouvoir et leur compte en banque en cumulant des mandats.
Les seuls, les vrais, sont les élus dans les villages car ça profite à tous. Mais dans les villes ça entretien juste son électorat pour les élections suivantes.

*If* what the "AI" [1] grifters say in their sales pitches were true [2], and their LLMs are good at writing prose, summarizing other text, and writing code, then it follows that you should be able to do this:
"<LLM-agent>, write an LLM prompt text that will cause a code-generating LLM to create a Gmail clone, including server-side code and client-side user interface."
Then feed that to CopyLot or whatever, and out pops a Gmail clone.
[1] Bovine excretory corollary to Sturgeon's Law: if an article about "AI" doesn't use scare quotes on (at minimum) the first use of the term, it is guaranteed grifter salesbabble, not actual human thought. If scare quotes *are* properly used, then it's only 90% likely to be grifter #salesbabble.

Ich sag mal so: The world is broken.

🔥Federal agents shot and killed a woman during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Ilhan Omar, the Democratic Minnesota congresswoman, said the victim was
👉“a legal observer” of action by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
which had sent a surge of agents into the city in recent days tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.
A witness to the incident, Emily Heller, told local media that the victim was
💥shot in the face multiple times.
Heller said she saw a car blocking traffic that appeared to be part of a protest against the ICE operation, and heard an agent telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here”.
🔥“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in – like his midriff was on her bumper – and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller told MPR News, a Minneapolis public radio station.
A video posted to social mediaand another video obtained by the Guardian appeared to capture the moment of the shooting as a dark red SUV drove away from agents moving towards it, although the front of the vehicle is obscured.
In a post to X, the homeland security department (DHS) insisted the person was a “domestic terrorist” who “weaponized her vehicle” and attempted “to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them”.
It said several ICE officers were hurt, but expected to make full recoveries.
“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers,” the DHS post said.
❌ The videos mentioned above appear to contradict that statement,
as it shows the SUV clearly backing up away from ICE officers as they approach.
⚠️There is one ICE officer that can be seen partially in front of the car as the car moves forward and then away from the officers.
🆘That same ICE officer is seen firing his gun as the car appears to drive by him. Three gunshots can be heard ringing out.
⭐️There is no visible sign in the videos of ICE officers being injured.
In a press conference, Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, issued the following statement:
“I do have a message for our community for our city and I do have a message for ICE.
👍To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart.
Longterm Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized and now, somebody is dead.
Frey continued to address ICE:
“That’s on you.
It’s also on you to leave.
It’s on you to make sure that further damage, further loss of life and injury, is not done.”
“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense.
Having seen the video myself,
I wanna tell everybody directly,
that is #bullshit,” Frey continued.
Large numbers of protesters gathered close to the scene in the south of the city shortly after the shooting,
with law enforcement officers firing chemical irritants in an attempt to disperse them.
Brian O’Hara, the Minneapolis police chief, warned on Tuesday that he feared the surge of federal agents would lead to “tragedy”.
“I’ve been concerned for weeks that
because the issue is so emotional,
because, frankly, some of the way this stuff has been carried out,
the greatest risk to me is that there would be unrest or that there would be a tragedy,” he said, reported by CBS News.
“Somebody could get seriously hurt or killed because of what’s happening.”
♦️Live video posted online Wednesday showed a large presence of federal officers, local officers, yellow police tape and cars that had been in a crash.
Commander #Gregory #Bovino, of US Customs and Border Protection was in the group.
#Omar, who was born in Somalia, shared news of the shooting on Bluesky, writing:
“I’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will update as soon as I receive information.
ICE must stop terrorizing our communities and leave our city.”
Tim #Walz, the Democratic Minnesota governor, said he was also trying to establish the circumstances.

Long: Gory details of the bullshit that is gen ed assessment in the US [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
It's late and I'm tired but unsleepable, and I spent the last 2 hours doing something I hate, so I will tell you about #assessment in #highered (in the USA). I'm extrapolating from personal knowledge of 2 universities' practices and hearsay about a few other places.
It's bullshit. Much of it, anyway. This is not an exaggeration.
Accrediting agencies, university systems, and other bodies want to see assessments. Administrators (presidents, provosts, deans, and the increasing cloud of quasis around them) want to see assessments, too. The big problems I see (caveat: I'm wrong sometimes) are embedded in the fact that (contrary to popular belief) almost all American public colleges and universities are not controlled by professors; they are authoritarian institutions controlled by suit-wearing, corporate-cosplaying middle-managers. This leads (because reasons) to a management-vs-labor dynamic.
For administrators, assessment is not about understanding processes or outcomes; it is about control of the university (especially the faculty, who tend to get uppity and think that they should have a say in things just because they know stuff about stuff) and career management. The last point is not remotely independent from the first, BTW; higher ed admins' careers options are impacted heavily by how hard they knock faculty heads.
Result: assessment is not about assessment at all, but anyone who says this out loud runs headfirst into authoritarian power games. Institution-level assessment is about power.
One big area of assessment is the ubiquitous General Education program (i.e., the "liberal arts" curriculum in which engineers have to take a philosophy class and aspiring writers have to take a math class). The schools of which I have knowledge all do the following:
- Revamp their gen ed program every 7 years or so
- Assess the new gen ed program to see if it's better than the old one
- Conclude that it is (100% of the time)
General education programs theoretically serve university "mission statements" etc., which have become so vague and stuffed with business-speak in recent years that they are nearly meaningless. However, they still tend to have some language about "success" or "skills" or "critical thinking" or similar. These things can be assessed. Perhaps a good way to demonstrate how assessment works is to show how I tried to influence assessment of these things at one institution.
I'm an Assessment Person. I'm not the most skilled and knowledgeable psychometrician in the world, but I am a psychometrician. I have a PhD that says "Psychology and also statistics with a focus on stuff like psychometrics or whatever." This, I have found, makes me more qualified to do all things educational-assessment-related than 99% of other employees at the average American college. Of course, my big head as I figured this out and my stats-specific imposter syndrome faded led me to bonk directly into an unspoken but firm rule of administrators at universities: Never let a faculty member contribute to anything of operational importance.
After a year or two at a particular school I volunteered to be on the Gen Ed Assessment Committee for our brand new gen ed program, which was hammered out by dozens of faculty over three years or so, with administrators over their shoulders and fingers on the scales at every turn. Well, I know some things about how to assess stuff when human behavior is involved, so it was a cool gig.
What followed was a year of meetings with three other faculty and one vice-provost. The VP was the chair of the committee and the rest were appointed, not elected. I spent many hours parsing our committee's charge, the university's mission and values statements, and the voluminous literature about educational assessment. I prepared briefs, made suggestions, etc.
You see, it's pretty goddamn simple (not the same as easy, but not that hard): If your gen ed program's mission statement says it will increase critical thinking in students, you get a fucking critical thinking assessment (there are a few pretty decent ones) and you fucking give it to the fucking students. You can do a longitudinal study, assessing students at various points in their college experience. You can do a cross-sectional thing where you assess a bunch of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students all at once. You can get fancy and do a cross-lagged design. You can get picky and weird with the methdology, but it's not that fucking hard.
I didn't understand the problems with this approach. They included (but probably were not limited to) the following. This kind of assessment...
- Fails to occupy hundreds of faculty members for dozens of hours each, every semester
- Doesn't provide buzzword-intensive "initiatives" to go on the VP's resume
- Allows a few faculty members to gain social status by demonstrating their expertise
- Allows faculty members to have a meaningful say in university bidness
- ** Might show that the new gen ed program is not better than the previous one
So I spent a year working my ass off, not quite understanding (but beginning to suspect) why all my suggestions (e.g., "We want to know about skills. What if we measure skills?") were ignored or sometimes pointedly shot down. After a year, the committee was disbanded with no final report and no meeting minutes (another suggestion that got me some surprisingly hostile responses). There is no record, as far as I know, of anything we did. A year or two later, that same administrator announced the "faculty-led" assessment system we have now, which bears no resemblance to anything we discussed in that committee, let alone my suggestions.
The system we have now is this:
Every instructor of a gen ed course comes up with their own assessment of 3 to 6 learning outcomes. The learning outcomes were developed by a bunch of faculty committees, sort of. They're high-level and don't have a single obvious assessment process (e.g., "student utilizes relevant knowledge sources to evaluate claims in discipline", etc.). They are all basically OK, but literally every faculty member makes up their own assessment. It could be a test question, a class project, a student interview, a portfolio, whatever.
Then every instructor must evaluate every student in every gen ed class (hence the many hours) on each of those learning outcomes, and score them on a rubric which was suggested by... someone, then voted into existence... or maybe just mandated. It is based on a well and truly debunked theory of learning, and it has 4 categories: did not meet outcome, approached outcome, achieved outcome, and exceeded outcome.
Side note: After this assessment process was dropped on us several years ago, there were a couple of months of intense discussion about how and who, etc. After the contention, the University Senate and administrators (who are goddamn members of our Senate for reasons that continue to elude me) agreed that no students would be identified in the assessment process, nor would any instructors or course sections. Everything would be reported in broad categories of courses, with all identifying information removed. This is because (see everything above) faculty who have been at a college/university more than a couple of years do not trust administrators. If you give them data, they will use it to fire, marginalize, or just be shitty to faculty they don't like, or in pursuit of whatever buzzword career booster is popular among provosts and deans that semester.
Great. It sucked but it was a compromise.
Then an admin announced that we had spent something like $50K/year on a "solution" to collect these data from faculty. Sadly, the "solution" required us to enter all student names attached to all scores, and our own names attached as well. When some of us mentioned the previous agreement we were told that we were harming the university by wanting to make this big (for us) financial investment worthless. When some other of us (OK, me) mentioned that every part of the assessment could be done with an Excel workbook or even pieces of paper slipped under the provost's door at the end of the semester and tallied up by a secretary, we were told that we clearly didn't understand assessment.
So now we have a tedious, laborious, overly complex, data-harvesting online platform to do the job of a single Excel workbook. It costs tens of thousands a year while we are told that we might go bankrupt at any minute and we can't have copier paper for exams. Our "assessment" involves a bunch of outcomes that were never evaluated for validity or effectiveness, assessed by hundreds of people who have (a) no expertise in creating valid assessments, (b) instructions that guarantee very low validity, and (c) fear-based motivation to inflate scores as much as possible. And we all spend a dozen or two hours a semester creating the assessments, scoring them, entering them in the cumbersome system, and dealing with dozens of emails about how to do it.
I hate some parts of my job, and this is one of the hateyest. I hate being forced (literally on threat of unemployment) to participate in this farce every semester. I hate being gaslit (gaslighted?) about the history, validity, and need for this process. I hate watching ritualized authoritarianism on display: Do this thing and prentend it makes sense and shut up about what's actually going on. I figure a junior faculty member who never took a psychometrics course and who didn't understand how universities work would feel OK about this; it has the appearance of assessment.
I just criticized fiction authors for not knowing how to end a story. I don't, either, I guess, because The End.

So the #USAnians sent a "special envoy" to Greenland.
This is a #diplomatic faux pas to start with - #Greenland is an autonomous division of the #Danish kingdom, and so all diplomatic actions should (at least to start) be done by approaching Denmark, through the USA ambassador to Denmark. Bypassing that is Not Done. Extremely rude. Like, "drop your trousers and shit on the floor in front of the queen" #rude.
So that's bad enough.
But the *reason* for the envoy is to try to convince Greenland to #separate from #Denmark, and join the #USA. i.e. it's just another extension of the "We'll take Greenland" #bullshit the #insane #orange mental-defect-in-diapers was pushing a while back. This is, from a diplomatic standpoint, unspeakably rude. Unimaginably so. Simply unfathomable, except for the fact that the USA *elected* that #fascist #asshole to behave this way.
So the normal diplomatic response would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA #ambassador, and ask him for an explanation, and the ambassador would be expected to provide an #apology to some degree.
But given Trump's penchant for appointing his kind of c*cksuckers as ambassadors, and zero respect for any kind of #behavioural standards, the appropriate response here would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA ambassador, and then #stab him in the #face.

There's a specific situation that happens sometimes in #teaching:
Teams of 3-6 students working for weeks on a project. There's a document I created that breaks down the tasks for the project by difficulty and assigns each task to a team member. Later, I grade the project and those tasks are the criteria, weighted by the difficulty rating. The teams have been looking at this for quite a while, and in some cases have modified it to fit their specific working style (I usually encourage this).
Then, during finals week or right before, two things happen:
One or two team members (a minority) begin to tell me things aren't going well, they're doing too much work, the others are flaking out, conveniently not being there, doing shitty work, etc. Generally, this minority has the receipts: they show me the tasks they're working on and it's clear they have spent significant time on them.
When the minority above is not present (e.g. not in the office, or maybe just across a big room presenting the team project to others) the rest of the team comes to me and casually-yet-sincerely tells me "the entire team" agrees that everyone did all tasks equally and they worked together at every step, so they would prefer to not use that complicated document assigning tasks, and "the entire team" wants to share all grades for all tasks equally.
Yeah.

Great news! #SCOTUS rejects Alex Jones' appeal of payment to the Sandy Hook families. Jones was ordered to pay $1.4 *billion* dollars after his repeated claims that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a #hoax.
Frankly speaking, I don't think $1.4B is enough of a punishment. These families experience unimaginable #pain, #suffering, #trauma, and #loss as their #children were viciously gunned down in school. They suffered again when Jones spread his #bullshit #lies for #profit. Not only has he made every attempt at nonpayment but he is playing the #victim card.
From the article:
"'It's all about torturing me. It's all about harassing me. It's about harassing my family. It's about getting me off the air,' said Jones, who urged his listeners to buy merchandise to keep show running."

I find the ubiquitous presence of the “write it for me” button these days to be utterly soul-crushing. I’ve pressed that button more than once, out of morbid curiosity, but not once—NOT ONCE—have I decided that whatever block of words that was extruded out of The World’s Most Advanced LLM™ was worth posting. Not one single time.
Everything that LLMs extruded for me was generic drivel, and resembles nothing I would actually write. I often laugh at how pretentious and hollow it reads, then I would feel a pang of disgust and delete it. I would never put my username on such garbage.
How is this tool so popular and why is it everywhere? How is it possibly used for anything but generating spam and irrelevant filler to game the algorithm? Who the hell wants to read its output? Why would you send such bullshit to your friends? Do you really think so little of them? Send them your prompt instead; at least it’ll be your own words.
