My opposition to generative AI comes from the fact it's a massively wasteful technology built on theft of art and the human experience of creating and viewing art, so if it "works" I actually hate it more.

Mostly symbolic, certainly from the Netherlands, but important nevertheless. Cue hysterical “antisemitism” and “anti-Israel” accusations from the far right.

It's funny how some folks won't support industrial actions ("strikes") when their department/institution isn't being directly affected...but will be out the door, with placards and raised voices, when they feel their wellbeing is being immediately impacted. Cross-sector solidarity means something.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷‍♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...

Remembrance Day here in NL. My 10 year old is reading out some of the names of children who were sent to Auschwitz from our area. Looking at the kids drawings at this ceremony funny how they have a better grasp of the horror of Nazism than grown adults who should know so much better

There seems, in UK politics, to be a far greater willingness to adjust ‘speed’ (eg: ‘we need to go further and faster’, or, conversely, ‘the lesson is that we went too far too fast’); than to think about whether we are heading in the right, or the best, direction.

“Bent the knee to every passing fad…” Opposing racism and supporting trans rights are not fads, nor could either action be considered as somehow ‘bending the knee’. But of course, Kemi Badenoch knows that…
