Actually, the left is winning the AI debate But it does need to get organized.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.

Long Covid ruled as occupational disease in nurses - Switzerland Long Covid confirmed as an occupational disease in nurses.

Think what this decision means to you all. Schools are full of covid. Over 120k UK children have long Covid and they have no rights. We know #Covidisairborne and that means indoors anywhere where anyone has COVID! www.europesays.com/ch/17407/

Just your reminder that if you do not train an AI model, you just don't train an AI model, and if you do not feed a human, that's murder and you're evil.

It is one thing for professors to resist AI in education; it is far more powerful when students do. Only a coalition between the two groups of students and teachers —and not the antagonistic one between “cheaters” and “cops”—will be powerful enough to create a movement.

Un billet exceptionnel cette semaine, par son temps de maturation (quatre ans) et son sujet: le renouveau du racisme scientifique et l'eugénisme libertarien.

Nous y démontons avec minutie l'un mécanisme d'agrégation du libéral-progressisme au fascisme 2.0.
