Absolutely stunning to see Australia's teen social media ban rushed through while every single government, educational institution and probably a huge number of parents are frantically force-injecting chatbot slop into the mind of every single child in the country without a second's hesitation

Students, staff, faculty turning to ChatGPT? That means they are being asked to do things they don't have the time, resources, support, etc to do.

A university that is able and willing to invest in staff and teaching hours will soon be able to absolutely clean up by advertising "lots of small group seminars and face to face time with REAL LECTURERS" with this shit going round

already many good reasons, why your assumption is wrong.

but if it was: read the curriculum before choosing school/program. and if you do not like it, go to another school

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I like how their absolute worst nightmare is that one day we might give all students more time and a calmer environment to complete tests.

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

Do you recommend it to a friend?

The ones celebrating your success far outweigh these losers. Huge achievement, be proud!

it is deeply annoying to have worked so hard to understand complex systems and learn so many ways to navigate complexity

and the punchline of everything is: once you map things out you realize you were underestimating the stupidity by an order of magnitude

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer

Klar kann man das. Nur haben die Gründer von Google nicht bei Google studiert und Google hat auch nicht das Internet erfunden.

Und wenn keine Leute mehr in Academia sind, machen wir den Laden einfach zu.

Meeresbiologe Froese - „Den Dorsch haben wir verloren“ Der Ostsee-Dorsch ist vom Aussterben bedroht: Meeresbiologe Froese warnt, doch trotz gefährdeter Bestände gibt es Widerstand gegen strengere Fangquoten.

Der Dorsch ist verloren, der Hering wird verloren gehen. Die Fischereipraxis und die jetzt beschlossenen EU-Fangquoten für die Ostsee besiegeln ihr Ende, sagt der Meeresbiologe Rainer Froese im DLF.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Generative AI is a societal disaster Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

@who.int led medical evacuation of 41 critical patients & 145 companions out of #Gaza, first since the ceasefire.

~15 000 patients are waiting for approval to receive medical care outside Gaza. We call on countries to show solidarity & for all routes to be opened to expedite the medical evacuation.

Some researchers in human-computer interaction indeed made a strong-ish case for it. I was dumbfounded too.

Sorry for the rather late notice, but if you can get to Amsterdam for Thursday/Friday this week I **strongly** recommend this one #AIEthics #philosophyOfAI

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors “With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers
