It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI
Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

It's what they do. The kids who nobody would play with in primary school, who pulled wings off butterflies, who salted slugs. You know, these kids. They also picked on the differently abled in their spare time. Now they're the US admin. They obvs missed all moral/ethical cues. How attractive.

Ready to start a movement that argues universities should spend money on their core functions, rather than flashy nonsense. Such as teaching and research for example.

I wrote about Trump's attack on Somalis, and how racism is both a tactic and a goal for fascists. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-soma...
Let's call Trump's anti-Somali hate for what it is
It's not "heated" or "divisive." It's Nazi stuff.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Interested in online far-right extremism and AI?

Check out my article in today’s @theconversation.com 👇

“Decades before AI, Telegram, and Nick Fuentes’ livestreams, far-right extremists embraced the early days of home computing and the internet.”

theconversation.com/far-right-ex...
Far-right extremists have been organizing online since before the internet – and AI is their next frontier
Neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists were early adopters of bulletin board systems, pioneering online recruiting and radicalization techniques long before the social media revolution.

Q: You outlined the dangers posed by drugs. So what explanation do you have for Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras?

SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it

Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?

Killing Shipwrecked Survivors is Not Just Illegal—It Endangers U.S. Servicemembers

By Professor @marknevitt.bsky.social, Commander, JAGC (ret.)

“Compliance with international law—including the laws of war—is built, in many respects, on reciprocity.”

Killing Shipwrecked Survivors is Not Just Illegal—It Endangers U.S. Servicemembers
If the United States chooses a path where killing defenseless survivors becomes acceptable, American servicemembers will pay the price for that choice.
