CoI is subjective but I do agree that this is not s good look for the IPCC.

In 2024 they decided they were were going to call LLM 'AI' even though all it does is rehash information made by humans and add a few pre-programmed commands. There is no intelligence to it, it is not sentient in any sense and because of how it is built it cannot be. Stop falling for their lies.

My latest piece for The Guardian: In Sweden, previously unthinkable far-right ideas are now comfortably embedded in the mainstream. The past four years were characterised by an astonishing acceptance of ethnonationalist views, xenophobic rhetoric and authoritarian policies often targeting children.

Patricia Kingori’s work on the “shadow scholars” of Africa is fascinating: “One Kenyan writer told me he applied for a job at an Ivy League university. When the rejection came through, he wrote back to say thanks, then added: “Just so you know, I’ve written all these papers for your institutions””

Ugh, another piece of slime.

UW-Madison professor engages in multiple sexual relationships with students, disparages another over their sexual orientation and appearance, creates hostile environment, and department leadership covers it all up. And in true “pass the trash” fashion, moves on to ASU once forced to resign.
