Pulling out is the correct decision: organisers can then go back to the University and explain how their decisions are harming the credibility of the institituion, and they're having trouble getting speakers. Organisers need to understand their role, even if they are blameless.

Opinions on the ethics of pulling out of speaking events at unis where academic freedom has just abruptly been killed? I just had to, but organisers were not understanding despite it being 3+ months away, with no costs for me yet incurred. Apparently we are all just supposed to carry on as usual?

I think the onus might be on us to not live a life where we inspire celebration when someone learns of our death.

Ben Goldacre

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

How about we instead end the practice of companies using my social media and private email correspondence to train their human-immitation machines? They do not have the right to my privacy or my intellectual property, yet have used both to train machines to replace my labour.

Do you use Instagram or Gmail? You could be helping to train AI. Big Tech has turned what all of us helped create into a trillion-dollar industry. It’s time to tax AI so you can share in its success.

People have gone to jail for accidentally helping DDoS websites by installing dubious software and leaving their computer on. I really don't think this is complicated.

If I go on a hacking spree, it’s clearly covered under a variety of civil and criminal laws. If a robot does due to the negligence and incompetence of a person or company? That’s a little more complicated (for now), @lhn.bsky.social reports:

Hank Green has said a lot of very thoughtful things about LLMs in the past that implies that he has understood what they are fundamentally. Yet he STILL managed to erode his understanding of the world and end up spouting bullshit by using them. "I'm too smart to be fooled by LLMs" is a losers game

it all just sort of makes sense, now, huh. all this shit was just generated by AI and he believed it all enough to parrot it on his podcast, and his fact checking team had to clean up after him this is a really massive blow to popular science. Everything is in question now. does he realize this?

Beira's Place is an anti-rights discriminatory organisation that is used as a political tool to influence public and political opinion against trans people existing in public life. It discriminates & refuses to protect AMAB women in its charter: Amnesty didn't force you to do that.

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors
