Welcome to US academia's Metternich era. This is abhorrent.

What I should have added in this piece is that even if all of this stopped right now, that doesn't pardon any past offences already committed. Criminal prohibitions of sexual abuse and expolitation are partly aimed at deterrence - and this only works if they are enforced.

Beim Abgesang auf die regelbasierte Weltordnung mitzuschmettern wird nicht zum Besten Europas und der Europäer sein.

Bring back Scheinheiligkeit.

Upholding the prohibition of the use of force has more "strategic benefits" than any Greenland could ever have.

Not just in Ireland.

Schnupfen, verzieh dich.

The Department lists out a bunch of things that X dot com’s Grok is doing and says that each of them is illegal. So asking the AG to see if there are more ways it could be illegal just seems like a delaying tactic to actually doing something.

There is a strong argument that X and its officers are committing offences by providing Grok's nudifying function in Ireland.

Auf einer Plattform, auf der solches und Schlimmeres mit Duldung des Eigners kreiert und verbreitet wird, haben offizielle Verlautbarungen von Amtsträgern nichts verloren. Und man fragt sich, wo repressive Schrtte bleiben.

This was probably meant to be a late-night post: I spent eight months working on a stunt blog about a $200 sandwich. Or, no, I did an end-of-year post about my mental health and the federal funding crisis. I'm not sure which. Maybe you can figure it out. www.carlsonlab.bio/thoughts/epi...

And not just US media.

Let's see.

Offensichtlich fühlt sich die EU gerade sehr, sehr schwach.

"All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations."

Ohne Bologna war alles besser.

Jede Anekdote über "Sushi Verbot" an irgendeiner amerikanischen Uni war hierzulande 8000 Leitartikel und unzählige Bücher wert; dass nun Medien zensiert, Wissenschaftlerinnen gefeuert und bedroht werden, setzt auch nicht annähernd die gleiche Energie frei.

Danke für das Statement. Aber leider muss man sagen, "wir" sind so, und das ist ein großes Problem.

Is the ECJ a plaything of the powerful — or a protector of the weak? New litigation data suggests a clear answer. TOMMASO PAVONE, SILJE SYNNØVE LYDER HERMANSEN & LOUISA BOULAZIZ show how the Court levels the odds for individual rights claimants. verfassungsblog.de/is-the-europ...

The whole point of "birthing person" is that it is not a synonym of "woman".

Kinderbilder gehören nicht ins Internet, und in dem Bereich bin ich für verpflichtende Uploadfilter, weil alles andere bringt nichts.

I reviewed "Unjust Debts" by @mbjacoby.bsky.social for the American Journal of Law and Equality. It's a great book, and if you haven't gotten a copy, you really should! direct.mit.edu/ajle/article...

Most automation in government occupies a vast middle space between the trivial and the high-stakes. To govern that space, policymakers must give agencies something more than aspirational statements about “trustworthy AI.” rebootdemocracy.ai/blog/account...

There is another issue here - "cutting-edge" sciences need properly functioning library services too. I think it is actually operational delivery of valuable services, everywhere, that is considered dull and old - the day-to-day delivery of services that constitute vital infrastructure.

"...mega-donors' influence doesn't primarily come from their ability to sway voters... Instead, their leverage comes from convincing politicians that they need mega-donor money to win."

They don't want traditional masculine virtues, which is something they give; they want traditional masculine rents, which is something they get.

Ich habe mir Gedanken über den Einsatz von KI in der Justiz gemacht - wer mag, kann sie hier nachhören: uzh.mediaspace.cast.switch.ch/media/Ringvo...

This is something I struggle with as a journalist who writes a lot about AI. I have written whole articles about how AI is a misnomer! But I feel powerless in the tides of linguistic drift. Has anyone else who writes about AI found ways to usefully (and regularly) distinguish types?

"At the same time, some AI legal tech advocates worry that trying to demonstrate the tech’s return on investment will squander innovation that shouldn’t be constrained by concerns about the bottom line." Yeah, sure.

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

In light of record submission rates and a large volume of AI-generated slop, SocArXiv recently implemented a policy requiring ORCIDs linked in the OSF profile of submitting authors, and narrowing our focus to social science subjects. Today we are taking two more steps: /1

🧵 Die Wiener Staatsoper hat jetzt eine Photovoltaikanlage. Mit diesem wichtigen Haus am Ring wächst die Gebäudefamilie mit PV-Anlagen weiter. Auf dem Dach gibt es 260 Solarmodule auf rund 500 m². Die haben eine Gesamtleistung von rund 100 Kilowattpeak. 1/4

Die Probleme mit der Regulierung von Internet und "KI" fangen dort an, wo sich Gerichte einreden lassen, das sei ein rechtsfreier Raum, wo geltendes Recht nicht gelte, oder die Anwendung dieses Rechts sei hier zu kompliziert.

It is impossible that a botched edit in a UK TV broadcast caused a billion-dollar damage. A justice system that cannot handle such a claim without potentially ruining the broadcaster is very dysfunctional. I do not think that is something an anti-SLAPP law can solve. It is a deeper issue.

Polen ist verpflichtet, eine in einem anderen EU-Staat geschlossene gleichgeschlechtliche Ehe anzuerkennen. Das entschied heute der EuGH. Die Anerkennungspflicht sei unabhängig davon, ob Polen eine "Ehe für alle" vorsieht – es geht um die EU-Freizügigkeit.

“AI is great at cleaning up a run-on sentence. Not so good at coming up with your whole motion to dismiss from scratch. “And alarmingly, unconstitutionally terrible at producing an accurate account of a law enforcement incident that it didn’t see based off a one-sentence prompt!”

Opinion: Management service organizations may be attractive to law firms that need capital or want to reduce administrative responsibilities, but the acquisition structure is bound to attract regulatory scrutiny.

One of the many reasons why outside investment in law firms is problematic and the ECJ was right to uphold the German ban.

I really believe the tech bros build Ai systems to give confident, if often wrong, answers because that works for them. That’s what they do every day. They don’t understand that most people *need* to be correct, that they don’t have thirteen safety nets to catch them if they make a mistake.
