This is just straight up trolling now, right?
Denver, if you aren't checking this out, what are you even doing? 😁
AB InBev is an official sponsor of the 2026 World Cup, which starts June 11.
Molson Coors will spend more on soccer advertising this summer than on any sports event in the last decade.
Heineken pumped its soccer ad budget up 189%.
So what are craft breweries doing?

Okay, it's entirely possible we get less disruptive with age.
But maybe it's also a little bit of being worn down by having papers rejected for diverging from what the field "knows"?
(Full transparency - I'm old, and maybe this is just reflexive defensiveness 😜)
What's your plan for the summer?
"Less work. More bork."
NOT COOL.

OUCH.
Okay, this is particularly not-great, because Pymetrics was founded by neuroscientists, and their premise is that their diagnostic games are proxies for cog, social and other "neuro-based" measurements of intelligence.

Reading the results of the "Systemwide Faculty AI Survey" I'm wondering if @ucnewsroom.bsky.social used ChatGPT for its statistics. Page 1 loudly proclaims **89%** are "Engaged/AI Advocates", but Page 7 shows 42% use it not at all or once/twice a year.
Why lie about this? (1/x)
If you’re into soccer, you might consider watching the world’s greatest teams play live in a nearby stadium sometime in the next month and a half. Or you could just watch the matches at a craft brewer...
So apparently KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations.

Bogus case studies on UBS and transit systems exaggerated adoption of the technology
NEW: WIRED analyzed Meta's AI app and found NameTag — a hidden facial recognition system designed to identify people via the wearer's smart glasses — has already shipped to over 50 million phones.
“A Stanford-led study of 4mn job applications across 156 employers who used the Pymetrics hiring platform, which assesses people using a series of online games, found evidence of ‘systemic rejection’ linked to the algorithms it used.”
Does science have an age problem?
@economist.com highlights a new study in @science.org that looks that why science is becoming less innovative
