So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.

If you missed my talk "Misinformation in the Age of 'AI'" at the Durham County Library, Digging down on dis-/misinformation, authoritarianism, generative "AI", the stakes for consensus reality, and what we can try to do about it, the recording is now up on the tubes:

And act like things are okay, when the status quo has always been trash...

I can't believe we're expected to work under these conditions

"Living at multiple axes of oppression can be heavy. The many identities you hold and your lived experiences are not in conflict with each other; they make you sharp, whole, and extraordinary. You may not see yourself that way yet, but I believe in you and who you will become.…

There is no ethical way to use the major Al image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real, human artists. - MOLLY CRABAPPLE, artist and activist

This Virginia Election Was a Warning for Data Centers John McAuliff ran his campaign almost entirely on data centers — and won.

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?

For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

OpenAI’s Sora 2 Floods Social Media With Videos of Women Being Strangled X and TikTok accounts are dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being strangled.

“When Sora finished generating those videos it sent us notifications like ‘Your choke scene just went live, brace for chaos,’ and ‘Yikes, intense choke scene, watch responsibly.’”

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP.
Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

"This long-running war on knowledge and expertise has sown the ground for the narratives widely used by AI companies and the CEOs adopting it. Human labor, inquiry, creativity, and expertise is spurned in the name of “efficiency.” With AI, there is no need for human expertise"

Here’s How Much Cash OpenAI Is Burning On AI Video App Sora. What It Means Some back-of-napkin math suggests OpenAI is spending more than a quarter of what it’s making to power the AI slop factory.

Forbes estimates OpenAI is blowing $15m a day on Sora. Sure, why not? I bet OpenAI’s inference costs are absolutely horrifying

What we lose when we surrender care to algorithms | Eric Reinhart A dangerous faith in AI is sweeping American healthcare – with consequences for the basis of society itself

“The problem is that when it is installed in a health sector that prizes efficiency, surveillance and profit extraction, AI becomes not a tool for care and community but simply another instrument for commodifying human life.”

Bucky and Yelena, I've got such a soft spot for them. Kinda wish they had followed the comics more closely with the origin of the New Avenger's and those dicey stories but of course that may have cost more Sony meetings 😩🫣

Well I have never heard of this before as I hear it often in mmo and rpg communities

I don't know what this means and disappointed that you assume my comment are "reddit posting" to be clear I am casual gamer who loves many forms of media and was excited about the topic. Sorry.

please say more about this?

I also wish more American based game studios valued building the replay value of games rather than monetizing and prioritizing pay to win systems 😞

Oooh this sounds like noticing patterns in the game's mechanics through spatial thinking 😅🥰

PROFESSORS RESPONSE @lia #anatomy #ai #fyp #chatgpt #anatomyandphysiology TikTok video by lia

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.

Grant Morrison -

"We're living in a time when fact and fiction have collapsed into one another, where Magical Thinking runs rampant, and reality dissolves into Sora AI and dancing furries on 'war-ravaged' streets in the USA. Everything is malleable and pliable."

Shout out to the student who pointed this out.

ESC Tackles Cardiac Risks of Long COVID An ESC report outlining the effects of COVID and long COVID on the heart emphasizes the need for early detection, vaccination, and cardiac rehab.
