  • My faculty advisor for my Ph.D. insulted my work to the other research assistants (he thought) behind my back. Should I find a new advisor?

    Jump

  • He also doesn't know how to program (in the computer science department) so he has no concept of the actual quality of my code.

    This is the biggest of the red flags, but the other communication issues seem serious as well.

    Finally understands" my place in on the team, as the one who "Understands things"

    This shit is equally enraging and terrifying by proxy. I'm sure this could be charitably interpreted many ways, but in context of this guy's vibecoding, this reeks of someone who would rather press the "theorem is obvious/intheliterature/leftasanexerciseforthereader" button than really engage with the work they're supervising. It's not required (and it would be weird) for your advisor to understand every aspect of your work that they supervise at the depth and facility you do, but they should feel like they broadly understand it and nearly every supporting concept involved unless your work is absurdly multidisciplinary to the extent that your advisor has never really studied computer science directly.

    I was being yelled at while doing another thing that was asked for, explicitly due in 2 hours.

    Yeah, this and bringing all of this up in a group meeting with other researchers where presumably the task was not to berate a student for being late is more what I was referring to about direct communication.

    In my experience, to communicate issues meeting expectations (outside of maybe "lab manager" type duties that might affect everybody's work when whoever is on duty is late or fucks up), professionals only bring this stuff up in direct 1-1 meetings.

  • said to not use my code, but instead use his vibe-coded script that gave better results

    You need an advisor who will be direct when they think there are issues with your code or the timeliness of your deliverables

    May I ask how long you've been working with them?

  • AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

  • So some techbro really asked, "how can I create a channel for actors to do live and dynamic organized disinformation campaigns against my and everybody else's llm 'agents'?" and then fucking did it?

  • the stages of simulacra

    My read (and I think this is just the first chapter of simulation and simulacra) is that the stages are the progression of sociocultural digestion of memes/ideas and how the internal projections of these change relative to the actual phenomena/concepts they channel

    edit: it is the first chapter of simulation and simulacra and I think it's about the nature of representation/abstraction itself, not merely the way we humans do it

    given the container and volume of substance, mine was corrosive agent, then bioagent or intoxicant

    Are you hypothesizing they planned to spray and ignite the fluid?

  • maybe edit the title to say sprayed? I initially thought it was about a shooting with a gun. Is this post reacting to seeing it live?

  • possibly for the very reason I'm having so much trouble understanding why anybody would use a self-deleting tweet to announces something they obviously don't want to be held to account for?

    how does this kind of behavior not immediately arouse suspicion among libs she thinks she's courting? Are there really people ignorant/unthinking enough to convince themselves that it's self deleting so right-wingers won't take it as incriminating? ah fuck
