Something 2 b noticed👇 #Theranos #Epstein #Nvidia: only women and a man of colour seem to have faced any real repercussions. but also why just them? [O Guest]
Olivia Guest · Ολίβια Γκεστ@olivia.science · 5h agoDid you notice that for theranos, Epstein, and this: only women and a man of colour seem to have faced any real repercussions. They should face repercussions of course (by far and away the first two especially are absolutely the worst humanity has to offer) but also why just them?
AI or LLM uncritically & unnecessarily flooding [previously] most prominent sci journals 👉 Relevant Question: "Why are we hellbent on taking the collective, the human, & the understanding *out of* collective human understanding?" Sci as a collective human process (Bergstrom) cf Michèl Robert
Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · yesterdayScience is a process of collective human understanding. Nature, PNAS, etc are full of papers about LLMs automating reading, discovery, synthesis, review, hypothesizing, etc. Why are we hellbent on taking the collective, the human, and the understanding out of collective human understanding?
Today’s Microsoft crisis is a reminder of why we must not depend only on foreign tech giants. In April, with other MPs, I called for digital sovereignty to be treated as an acute not chronic risk in the national risk register. www.sianberry.org.uk/publications...

But, exactly, which may be the reasons to even interview this... person? And what sort of authority could he have acquired, as a relative, in such a long and very sad history of failed scientific research on Alzheimer? "end Alzheimer" sounds simplistic, a bit, doesn't it? 🙄 Cameron
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 2d agoDavid Cameron says Britain needs to stop blaming Brexit for its problems.

[HighEdu FreeSpeech Racism] "We live in an upside down world that's fascist to its core 👉unless we fight back" 🌼

#NHS Reform Inappropriate A&E access by pts E Poole👉 "The solution to this is to fund GPs properly and fund staff in a&e who can handle these issues. The NHS is going to deal with the patient one way or another❣️ It doesn't matter where.🎯"

AI maths pap "There is a world of research 2 b done that is actually useful 2 humanity, or at least not detrimental. Yes, it is hard 2 change your research area, particularly when there is money in it, but I do not think it is ethically justifiable 2 contribute 2 the destruction of academia" Porreca
Antonio E. Porreca 🐳@aeporreca.org · 5d agoSo, here’s the (very slightly polished) version of my blog post “Why we should reject AI in academia” on Proofs \& Prompts. “In fact, if we go on this way, one day there will be no expert at all.”

Carney is right, the battle now is also to reduce EU dependence on US. To become a sovereign United States of Europe. To do this, 27 Commissioners, 27 Armies, 27 vetos, no single capital market, 3 Presidents, no single person to call in Europe..doesn't make sense! Europe must be reimagined.
