Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

I think we should all probably read this. There is just absolutely no acceptable justification for the rush to adopt so-called "AI" in education, period.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

Worrying about a UPS pilot that we know... prayers up for the crew and anyone in the path, regardless... wondered why traffic out of the city was twice as bad as usual

He's blatantly defying court orders AND spreading blatantly false information about SNAP benefits. Yes, SNAP helps millions. But recipients have to jump through hoops to access assistance that often falls short of their needs. Like, by not covering diapers. Or leaving gaps at the end of the month.

If y'all put me on the ballot for this seat, I will try to come up with equally ridiculous personal details for your news columns

Sportscenter's entire Top 10 on the next episode could be from this one game, good grief

This baseball dude just said 1975 was a half-century ago and I am offended

please, we are all 30 or 40 years old and we need to go to bed

game 7 of the World Series is great because there is no tomorrow so absolutely nothing is off the table everyone is available for everything unless their arm falls off and even then maybe you can staple it back on and get a couple outs Max Max versus Tungsten Arm O’Doyle let’s do this thing

As SNAP benefits freeze, here’s where to find food and donate in Louisville and Southern Indiana

Things are dire out here, folks. We're gonna need as many babies dressed as pumpkins and pets dressed as whatever they'll willingly wear for more than 30 seconds as possible, STAT

Here it is, folks: the most dramatic showdown of all time. Can't believe how this one turned out! A real nailbiter!

The inaugural issue of "Black Music, in Theory" launched today! I am honored to be one of many folks on the editorial board, and I'm excited for essays like Tammy Kernodle's piece on 'Black Music Journals and the Legacy of Black Intellectual Activism' journals.publishing.umich.edu/bmit/article...

As I told the AI czar or whatever the other day, "If anything, OpenAI should be paying us to beta test its flawed and dangerous software."

Everyone is talking about AI. It's obviously having a transformative impact across all sectors of society. So how should the Canadian government approach it? My interview with Yvonne Lau for the @financialpost.com financialpost.com/technology/c...

It is hard to overstate the stress produced by the incoherence of academic institutions pumping generative AI when they want to play business and then leaving instructors to deal with the results when they want to play school

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Really well done this defector.com/higher-eds-r...

My dogs have apparently decided that tomatoes are extra-special dog treats and have started jumping into the raised bed to bite cherry tomatoes off the plants. I guess it's good that everything will probably freeze tonight... Little weirdos (complimentary) (mostly)

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Yes, this. Encouraging to see the turnout for this morning's rally here in the "Saddlebred Capital of the World"!

I have joked about this before, but it is really tempting to try to get on the ballot here. It would be a massive underdog situation and I am sure I would have no chance, but *someone* needs to challenge some of these seats...

Nellie would like to know why her lunch has not yet been prepared. (It is 9:54am)

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I was with a panel of people who were all making good arguments about why AI will never replace this or that skill or job, so maybe we'll be okay, and I finally said to one teacher: "you can just say no. you don't have to use it. it steals from people and teaches no skills. it's not a good tool."

Love this breakdown! Explains so neatly and simply why buying direct (from the press) is the best way to support authors.

wake up babe, new key signatures just dropped. [Adding an AI policy to my syllabus this semester, and wanted an illustration so I went to ChatGPT. Now I'm really considering just making the policy, "If you'd like me to give you grades based on stuff like this, knock yourself out"]

There are, of course, ways to save money in this business. Many US clothing factories run on what's known as a "piece rate" system, where workers are paid per operation, not by the hour. This system allows factories to skirt minimum wage laws. It's also how we get US sweatshops

We're on socials again! 🥳🥳 Give us a follow, why don't you?

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
