Interesting that the "defences" of this from the AIshills are either "it can't take your stuff" (untrue) or "it can but if there's only one instance it's probably not enough to impact the output" (potentially untrue for very specialised queries).

Stanford must end its complicity in COVID harms
A Stanford conference of COVID contrarians and Long COVID skeptics featuring President Levin is reverberating all the way to the White House.
Economist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, soon to be NIH Director, has suggested that preventing Long COVID is worse than getting it. Around 100 million people disabled by COVID would beg to differ — myself included.”

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.
This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
This is a manifesto against disability.
This is the language of eugenics.

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders
The National Science Foundation has canceled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.
“researchers suspect [the grant review freeze] may be related to President Trump's targeting of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. NSF reviews grant applications based on two criteria: intellectual merit and broader impacts”

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask.
You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system.
You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

At an emergency hearing this week, lawyers for the social media company appeared. They haven’t explained why.
Well, this is a little mysterious.

For the past 4 years almost every major “disinformation” reporter has ignored the rise of COVID denialists like Jay and others, instead choosing to boost their denialist rhetoric that the pandemic ended (it has not, according to the World Health Organization), and that COVID is harmless (it is not)
