Du hørte kanskje at NTB publiserte en KI-generert melding sist uke. Visste du at KI-sammendraget endret sikkerhetstrussel fra fiendtlige statlige aktører til ekstemvær og aldrende teknologi? Slik ideologisk vridning viser at KI-bias kan være en sikkerhetsrisiko. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality. www.thedissident.news/grokipedia-a...

And yet here we are.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers. He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer." www.wheresyoured.at/openai-onetr...

U.S. President Donald Trump said that he had signed a proclamation allowing the death penalty to be pursued in certain Washington, D.C. prosecutions.

Its Friday, time to cheer up! Throwback to when this show had some MDs going through a printed stack of DNA sequences by hand to find a mutation. "How is this even going to work?" #noDNAsortingsoftware

Years of practice using my cell phone to take images of cell lines through the microscope finally paid off. Behold! A lunar eclipse captured with my cell phone through binoculars! 🌚

A reminder that there is no scientific basis for attempts to define people in terms of “good” or “bad” genes - these are discredited views in service of racist ideologies. For the consensus from the experts, see e.g. this 2020 @geneticssociety.bsky.social statement: www.ashg.org/publications... 🧬🧪

If you live in a EU member country that does not explicitly oppose this legislation, please contact your representatives and try to convince them to oppose this. If you do not, please share this with someone who does.

Alle har krav på privatliv. Bare fordi du lukker døra når du er på do så betyr ikke det at du gjør noe ulovlig. Privatliv kan også redde liv for mange i feil familie/regime. Dette forslaget må dø.

Trump whipping himself up about cracking down on DC. The language - “savagery, filth and scum” - should worry any right-minded person.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim. He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease. He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States. And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

Hi yes hello this is 1 facet of exactly why we told you not to use "generative AI" in the regulatory production pipeline: Eventually the bullshit it spits out— even its citations— will fail to agree w/ consensus reality, but they'll sure *look* like they do, & by then you'll have started trusting it

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

New meme just dropped.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

💀💀💀 -Not likely -No -You wish! -Thats not how any of that works.. -WTF? -What do you THINK a clinical trial is for, if not for "figuring out what gives the best Bang for the bucks" BEFORE it is approved and subscribed?!? This is just irresponsible and dangerous.

The President finds time to attend the “grand opening” of a new concentration camp on a Florida swamp, but not to attend the funeral of an assassinated Minnesota lawmaker Never forget.

Karolinska is looking for 20 (!!) assistant professors and offering 6 year appointments with ~1M USD startup packages. ki.se/en/about-ki/...

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

Sen Bernie Sanders reacted in real time—fierce, unwavering, and absolutely right—calling out Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal act of war on Iran. This is a flagrant abuse of power. Every Republican enabling this lawless escalation must be hounded and held accountable.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

How will the proposed 43% cut to NIH impact the US? This piece nicely counts the ways with dollar figures--and there's a lot of them packed into this short read. Another example of FAFO policymaking. 🛟medsky health policy science communication policysky sociology

Is this a rapid unscheduled disassembly?

How it started, how it's going.

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

1/2 Watching (from home) Karikó´s intro to her talk must be the most wholesome thing I have ever seen. She started by casually pulling out her Nobel price saying "Just to prove that I got the Nobel Price I got this with me here just to show you before you get your own." ...

Academics dont say "I love you". They say "I saw the recording from your conference talk. I actually watched it in normal speed in stead of my normal 1.5x"

Hytte til salgs med båtplass. Båt medfølger ikke.

New EO banning “dangerous gain-of-function” experiments dropped Monday. Allow me to break out my deranged anti-vax kakistocrat translator. Will this improve the safety & security of biological research? Hell yes, because biological research won’t exist anymore!

Jeg velger meg april I den det gamle faller, i den det ny får feste; det volder litt rabalder, - dog fred er ei det beste, men at man noe vil. Jeg velger meg april, fordi den stormer, feier, fordi den smiler, smelter, fordi den evner eier, fordi den krefter velter, - i den blir somren til! BB

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

The loss of data is a waste not possible to put a price tag on. Unforgivable.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The prefix ‘pen’ means “almost.” peninsula = almost an island penultimate = almost the last

Et statskupp gjennomført fra innsiden av staten dag for dag - i 1933. Sett gjennom øynene til en vennligsinnet og borgerlig norsk avis. Del 17. På denne dagen, 28. mars 1933, skrev Aftenposten at «de tyske jøder ber sine trosfeller i utlandet holde fred».

A core element of public health involves working with the public to help them understand how they can protect themselves and their neighbors from disease. This memo (see the next post) equates this vital aspect of public communication with censorship.

While many of my American colleagues had their grants to make vaccines and antiviral drugs terminated yesterday, RFK Jr instead put those taxpayer funds toward hiring an anti-vaxxer to run a pointless study investigating the non-existent link between vaccines and autism.
