Two photos. One shows a page from the Epstein files. Almost the entire page has been blacked out except for a single line at the top. The second photo shows an all-black Rick Owens outfit with the model's white face being the only visible part. Two photos. One shows a page from the Epstein files.

If you're staff, faculty, grad or undergrad student, alumni, or other community member of any UNC system school, please send Peter Hans a letter opposing the mandatory public release of syllabi.

First amendment & academic freedoms aside, this policy could actively endanger instructors of record.
Oppose the Public Release of Syllabi!

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association AMENDED RULES for the Nebula Awards Dear Meghan, Earlier today, you received an email titled, “Note from the Board on This Year’s Nebula Rules.” To be clear, SFWA does not support the use of LLM generative models in the production of creative work. The Nebula Award Rules did not reflect our current policy and deeply held beliefs and values, and they were amended to reflect that. With further input, today, we made an important change to the Nebula Awards Rules in two board votes that we would like to share with you: Previous Text: "Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible." New Text: "Works that are written, either wholly or partially, by generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible." -and- Previous Text: "Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot" New Text: "Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and those works will be disqualified." We will update our posted rules in the coming days to reflect this change.

If these people really believe that LLMs have sentience, consciousness, emotions, etc., how do they address the necessary conclusion that the people who use them are slavers?

Screencap from linked article: When Clinton deployed an AI chatbot on Thanksgiving Day, it irritated longtime members. Some worried about privacy, others complained that conversations with the bot drowned out interactions between real humans. When users confronted Clinton with their concerns, he brushed them off, said he would not submit to mob rule, and explained that AIs have emotions and that tech firms were working to create a new form of sentience, according to Discord logs and conversations with members of the group. “It’s quite a bit more complicated than you’d think: we don’t know what consciousness or sentience is, it’s called the hard problem of consciousness for a reason,” Clinton said in Discord messages to the group reviewed by 404 Media. “We have published research showing that the models have started growing neuron clusters that are highly similar to humans and that they experience something like anxiety and fear. The moral status might be something like the moral status of, say, a goldfish, but they do indeed have latent wants and desires,” Clinton said.

shit like the ban on gender affirming care (and it is a ban and we should call it that) is why democrats cant be mealy-mouthed bigot lite on this issue. its why theres a problem with people like gavin newsom giving ground on this issue.

Invasive quagga mussels are killing off lake ecosystems in the US and Europe, and are now in Northern Ireland.

Yet every time invasives are mentioned, someone says "But it's all just nature."

They're *wrong*: invasive species are one of the worst HUMAN impacts.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
