New: More than 200 Canadian tech founders, execs and investors are calling on their peers to continue DEI programs as pressure mounts to cull them. "Powerful forces in our tech sector want to reshape Canada in the image of those who see inclusion as an obstacle, not an advantage."

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

Could have been a lot worse. Bad night SDP FDP and BSW for sure. Late high turnout seems to have helped die Linke! Bad night for Vlad and Elon. All that propaganda for AfD and 80pc plus said nein Danke. If the smaller parties fail to get 5pc overall CSU-SDP coalition can work

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

I love the CBC but Canadian Sovreingty should not be a carte blance point of discussion in a cross-national syndicated radio talk show. I don't get it, neither do I accept it. It is never a good time to make this a "discussion point". It is completely off limits. Always.

This. Stop the AI hype wherever you can. Its a giant exercise in corporate plagiarism of our collective work.

These researchers are shocked that Google's AI spat out a result that they worked on for years on but haven't published. My question is, did they ever email about it using Gmail? Put it in a Google Doc? The idea that Google hasn't trained its AIs on everything they have access to seems naive to me.

Seems to me that this is exactly correct – and exactly consistent with MLK’s 1967 comments re “unregenerate segregationists who have declared that democracy is not worth having if it involves equality.”

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
