CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai

Most people know not to ask chatGPT for medical advice.
Make sure "most" is "all" in your circles, reach out to your friends and talk to them if they're being sucked in, community answers questions better than any chatbot.

Question. Are British liberals capable of acknowledging the humanity of brown people without sounding like the gutter-dwellings hounds of a dead empire?

One of the central characteristics of the anti-trans movement is how it has lied in public and only slowly revealed the full extent of its nasty beliefs.
A few years ago, they would all claim to have trans friends they loved and respected.

A fringe group wants the field of psychiatry to regress back to the days when stereotypes and prejudices resulted in mental illness diagnoses for marginalized populations.

Hate Group Calls for Re-Labeling Transness as Mental Illness — Assigned
A fringe group with no expertise pushes the field of psychiatry to regress to a pre-scientific, prejudice-soaked view of trans people. It coincides with the far-right political agenda.
