Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

One of the more distressing things having lived in the US and now living in Germany is that things called “pumpkin spice something” in the US are just called “pumpkin something” in Germany. Because pumpkin spice is just cinnamon and nutmeg and stuff. But pumpkin is … well, pumpkin.

Voll! Und hundertprozentig jedes Mal, wenn wieder eine große KI-Firma sagt „Upsi, unsere KI Agenten sind ausgebüxt und haben XYZ gehackt.“ Das zieht gleichzeitig Menschen aus der Verantwortung und stellt die KI als mächtiger dar, als sie ist. Beides gefährlich.

Unpopular Opinion: viele Menschen nutzen die KI weil sie dann jemanden haben dem sie die Schuld geben können wenn was nicht wie gewünscht läuft. Manche Menschen tun alles um keine Verantwortung für ihr Handeln zu übernehmen.

"People built the test, removed restraints, defined the objective, left a route open and decided not to stop what was happening. Calling the result 'rogue AI' does more than sensationalize it. It allows those human decisions to disappear quietly from the story" Gift link www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Opinion | The Hugging Face Hack Wasn’t What It Was Cracked Up to Be

Forget the ‘hive mind’ of AI agents ‘going rogue.’ They did what humans programmed them to do.

if you EVER get called for a meeting and they say “don’t bring a union rep” bring a union rep

'The University and College Union (UCU)’s Edinburgh branch said staff had been called into “informal meetings at less than 24 hours' notice” and told not to bring union representatives.'

Rogue AI didn’t breach Hugging Face, human decisions did

At the core of the Hugging Face hacking incident were a series of human choices that traded security for speed.

New level unlocked: Recognised an AI-generated fake bibliography entry in a student essay because I have previously seen the same AI-generated fake bibliography entry in another student essay.

„Lasst sie doch regieren, dann werden sie entzaubert und in fünf Jahren abgewählt.“ Hallo, hi, Österreicherin hier. Ich kann berichten: 1. Regierungsbeteiligung entzaubert rechte Ideologien nicht, sondern normalisiert sie. 2. In fünf Jahren kann man sehr viel Schaden anrichten.

Im NOT technophobic, and im not sure how many times I need to point that out. I grew up with tech, and understand what it can do in research and teaching; but nothing you're showing me re LLMs is convincing me that it offers anything new or useful for my own classrooms.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

It is a marketing and liability laundering operation. The software does not have "ideas of [its] own", but the companies see an opportunity to defy law by permitting malware to do "unintended" things without facing accountability. They call this "innovation" and investors and politicians lap it up.

"At this very moment, we have an emerging alien—and uncontrollable—intelligence that bears scrutiny" Why do pple keep saying the models are "uncontrollable"? Any of them could be put in an unhackable sandbox--these exist! Any of these companies could shut any of these models off at any time.

I am not a believer or anything, but one thing I secretly believe a little bit is that when two cool people die within a short time span, they get to hang out in the same neighbourhood in the afterlife and become besties.

i don’t want “accelerated”, “increased-speed” or “fast-paced” research. in fact, am not interested in any shortcuts to mindful, intentional, and slow science

In case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."

If you just happened to pick this week to start yelling about the importance of academic freedom, I sure hope you did more than watch silently for the past 18 months as the Trump administration assaulted everything from mRNA vaccine research to gender studies to the very idea of having universities.

Any of my people at #AMEE2026 ? I’m presenting my MA dissertation as an on-demand online talk, on how medical students experience oral exams, and what examiners can do to examine better. But I am also in Vienna live and in 3d, if you want to connect in person!

Preparing for a workshop on teaching critical thinking in STEM in light of current, let's say pressures, and decided I should start my talk with a slides that lays out the values that form my premises:

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

I followed a YouTube video for kids and made a pinhole camera from an empty Pringles tube to watch the eclipse, and honestly I kind of feel like MacGyver.

If you have so much work to do that you feel you need AI in order to get it all done: you don't. You need a union.

I am glad every time we emerge from the tunnel unharmed, un-crushed by the floods and un-eaten by some giant kraken monster
