Saying that "autism is preventable" is essentially saying that autistic people should not be born. It's a eugenicist claim.

Someone grab the A1! The LLM-to-malware pipeline is a perfect downward spiral: AI generates code with imaginary packages, attackers register those package names with malware, and unsuspecting developers execute the code. Another way AI errors cascade into real-world threats.

In this study, we propose that a code in a text may exist or not exist depending on one’s social space. Perhaps it’s time to rethink “intersubjectivity” in content analysis. *This will be presented at the next ICA Comps Methods div.

Ah yes all the infamously woke generals The thing about giving discursive ground to people with zero boundaries and ethics is that by the time language stops meaning anything and can be turned on anyone the damage is done. We had whole books and histories warning us about that

In academia, you have to deal with A LOT of rejection. Grant was rejected, but the reviews were positive overall. However, it's disheartening when one of the reviewer "wishes" you cited an article that was published a month after the grant deadline 🤦🏾♀️🙃. People need to be more aware when reviewing.
