Advances in neuroscience, pharmacology and artificial intelligence are coming together to create a new threat. We must fund scientists to counter defend. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Everyone deserves well-being, stability, and a full table. www.linkedin.com/posts/christ...

Scientific discovery and research is more important than trade, tariffs and terabytes. We’re in the most important time for funded research. I’d like to see the major AI platforms of the world unite to fund science.

Scientific research and studies should be the first biggest focus for funding in Silicon Valley. AI without a scientist is a hammer without a hand.

How AI is fueling an existential crisis in education

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Since the Government is buying TikTok and will control the Algorithm. The U.S. Government will do to TikTok what Elon has done to Twitter. BlueSky, what alternative platforms do you support?

AI is an Apex Predator

AI could never educate us like Robert Redford did through storytelling. Please, lower the flags.

Yes but this is coming from the same guy who said AI would heal all diseases in ten years. Is it the season now for liars calling out the liars? Hey Demis, we don’t trust you either. analyticsindiamag.com/ai-news-upda...

If this is true. Then using Google’s AI may need to be reconsidered. AI should never be trained on stolen data and shadow labor of poor communities. Paying 2 dollars per hour is shameful. If, this is true. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Machines are scaling faster than the human capacity to govern them. The measure of leadership will be whether we build structures of trust before systems of code decide for us. Today’s AI will be embarrassingly abysmal compared to that which is to come. Most do not understand. Share this.

This is what AI with an interface looks like. AI will never be the same again. Humans must teach humans about AI - or something else will. youtu.be/PDKhUknuQDg?...

SHE Summit 2026 invites women from every cultural background to the main stage, amplifying the voices of the everyday superheroes building tomorrow’s emerging technology. We celebrate feminine strength through community. This engine is fueled by collective girl power. gatherverse.org/she2026/

Breaking News: This changes everything deepmind.google/discover/blo... Genie 3 will change how we think about and interact with AI forever more. We must ask what does this mean for the betterment of humanity.

Education must be guided humans, always. Machines can assist. But should never lead the entirety of any school program.

Without established trust layers. AI is the most potentially destructive science on planet earth. It is the technological Apex Predator. We need our scientists, thinkers, humanitarians now more than ever. Tag anyone who you believe fits this bill.

Who’d have thought?!?!? — Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AI www.theguardian.com/education/20...

We need to have a grown up conversation about AI, that’s away from lobbying groups funded by tech companies. AI isn’t a replacement for brains. Cos when you can’t get hired for a job cos you have learnt nothing that isn’t helpful www.theguardian.com/education/20...

An uneducated public in an AI world is a goldmine for manipulation. Whoever owns the algorithm guides the outcome. Teach the people.

Education AI is the most under appreciated discussion of all the discourses about AI.

The argument for letting “AI” take over education is EXACTLY the same argument as for never teaching anyone to do maths, now we have calculators. Or it would be, if calculators sometimes gave you the wrong answer, randomly.

The US has spend the past 45 years, reducing education to a "financial commodity." Our schools are either place holders or job training. Administration trumps teaching. We have vast armies of precariously employed adjunct profs (low pay, no say, no security). We are now moving to offering AI tutors.

The banality of an educational objective is revealed by whether AI can deliver A+ work with naive prompting. The goal of education in the present moment should be to teach students how to employ AI creatively to amplify the breadth & depth of their work product.

I’m genuinely interested. If you are in higher education and you can’t see any impact from AI on knowledge or skill acquisition, I want to know more. If you’re not in higher education, and would like to know how it is impacting on both, happy to chat.

And “AI -detection” software in education puts a lot of money in some CEO’s pocket.

One hundred percent. Economic precarity breeds transactional education, which incentivizes grades over learning, which creates demand for cheating, for which AI provides an abundant supply.

This is it, man. If AI makes a college education worthless it will NOT be because it can do all the things we were training them to do. I’ll just be because students will stop being willing to undergo that training on such a scale that there won’t be much to do about it

MOOCs exposed something important about education: The vast, vast majority of people do not learn things out of love of learning, but to get credits and a degree. AI will change education, but not in a good way. It will destroy that motivation.

AI is a parasite that is built on *stealing* (aka "training on") the scholarship of professors. The idea that it might have an enlarged role in higher education is terrifying.

We must sound the alarms. AI is rapidly destroying education and the ability of students to think for themselves. Ponder for a moment what that means for democracy. Demand your legislators do something about this.

I really dislike this sentiment re: AI impacts on education: If an assignment can be completed by AI then it is clearly just busy work; educators need to create better assignments. Absolutely not true. Just because AI can do something too doesn't mean that doing it doesn't have pedagogical value.

Education is the most vulnerable industry in this AI Era. An educational crisis is happening before our very eyes. Technologists must become educators and teach the global youth on how to approach AI. This is an emergency of epic proportions. We must be vigilant in staying ahead of the machines.

If technology corporations treat AI disruption as progress only, and ignore its consequences, they risk destabilizing the very societies that enable their success. Disruption without support is a recipe for collapse. In ignoring substantial job loss, ecologically everyone loses.

I believe in science

“AI is an Apex Predator” - Christopher Lafayette

Scientific Discovery + AI and what it means to the human body is extremely urgent and vital. Interpretability is the most important focus of scientific AI today. It mustn't be hampered with by corporate wrongdoing, misguided fantastical claims of progress and rushed assumptions of capabilities.

No matter how advanced AI becomes, it cannot replace the power of a teacher’s belief in a student.

Dear Microsoft, You fired seven thousand people last week during a profitable month, then held an AI summit this week and said nothing about them. Technology companies should have the decency to warn workers about mass layoffs and acknowledge them publicly, not ignore this and keep selling products.

AI is the apex predator of our digital age, relentless and evolving with each passing day. Its appearance may not reveal its power, but it strikes quietly and is incredibly present, often moving with or without explicit permission.

Students need teachers who teach them how to think, not just machines that tell them what to know.

A classroom guided by AI must never lose the voices, flaws, and dreams of its students.

Science is a public trust. Let’s not privatize its future to anyone selling AI as magic.

AI is an apex predator, Humanity is moving too slow to prepare. www.linkedin.com/posts/christ...
