Asking people whether they like "AI" is not going to be a useful poll question soon, if it ever was. They will be incredibly grateful for their personal AI that guides them through medical or legal or management issues. They will be anxious or excited about AI at their work, even though it currently isn't that good, depending on the culture of their workplace. They will feel fondly towards the AI chatbot they discuss issues or ideas with. They will hate the AI that pundits (and a number of AI leaders) say will take all jobs or change their way of life. They will be bemused by the AI that makes up fun video content for them. They will fear the AI that other people argue will lead to the end of the world. They will like the AI that lets them edit cute selfies. How does electricity poll?

This is just painfully stupid

Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England

For the would-be Great Man of History, the final boss is always the pope.

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Why does this look like the beginning of a romcom?

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

I’m a sociologist at @UTAustin who’s written on how @tigresdelnorte's corridos give voice to migrant life and politics. They’re at @MoodyCenterATX next week — hoping to cover the show and write a short cultural piece tied to this moment.

By far the clearest of the videos and by far the most jarring.

Our new @Newsweek op-ed argues that when federal force turns deadly, officials must share the evidence, allow real oversight, and give the public a clear account of what happened. @NNJohnsonEdD @CouncilonCJ @aysps @AUG_University newsweek.com/when-federal-po…

Latin America’s religious map is changing. Fewer people are going to church or claiming a specific faith, but personal belief is still going strong (unlike in the US) Even 86% of those who say they’re unaffiliated to a religion still believe in God. buff.ly/ahWWBM7

In my new article for The Conversation, I share findings from 20 years of data showing how faith is changing in Latin America — in ways many wouldn’t expect: theconversation.com/yes-to-g…
