Some women, notably Judit Polgar (the strongest woman chess player of all time) are opposed to the separation, because it implies that women cannot be at the same level of men.

In fact, there are basically two types of tournaments with regards to gender: women's only and "open", which is for everybody. By the same logic, FIDE created women's titles (from Woman Fide Master (WFM), to Woman Grandmaster (WGM)) with lower requirements. 2/

Also not an expert, but in short, also yes. Women's tournament have been created because historically, women's level in chess is lower than men's and it is a way to (1) encourage participation; (2) create a safer space for participants. 1/

A U.S. judge ruled that while Anthropicβs use of copyrighted books for AI training is #fairuse, storing pirated copies isn't. Itβs a mixed decision, bad for both sides, but a potential win for AI platforms overall. aifray.com/claude-ai-ma...

Defining genocide: how a rift over Gaza sparked a crisis among scholars
New reports by human rights groups use the term to describe Israelβs offensive. The debate has fueled a brutal division among those who study mass violence
For @theguardian.com I wrote about how Gaza has split the academic field of genocide studies.
As one scholar put it, βWhere can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?β
My latest.
