You can read more about asymptomatic COVID here. It is still possible to get long covid from an asymptomatic infection. The risk is lower but it’s also possible to get blood clots. ada.com/covid/asympt...

Viral infections can be unpredictable. So why roll the dice when you have access to a vaccine that makes a difference. In the US, flu vaccine is recommended for everyone not just select groups. I am on clinical service through to the new year. The hospitals are filled with flu. Help us help you.

Respectfully Jon Stewart, you were wrong on the @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social to mock people who mask. ICYMI: there are tens of millions of Americans who have been disabled by #LongCOVID and must do everything in their power to prevent further infections that make them vulnerable to further 1/

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ils ont le niveau B1 ces deux-là ?

I’m sharing my lived experience. I have Long COVID pain due to organ damage, immune dysfunction and reactivation of VZV that causes Shingles, despite vaccination! COVlD also triggered autoimmune disorders and sleep apnea! I can attest. #MaskUp like your life depends on it! 🎄😘

As someone who was a beta tester for StackOverflow and helped seed it with some of its original questions and answers, I believe GenAI destroyed the value proposition of the site entirely. Prior to GenAI, you could be certain that answers posted there came from real people. Now you can’t.

Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'? We are right.

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more." This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, reports Benjamin Santer. "Even if you’re not a scientist, this should be on your radar. You need to understand what it means." Read more: buff.ly/kdq6GJg

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.

There's a cross-platform uniformity to how LLMs bullshit you. Today I was designing an exercise for a responisble-use of-LLMs course we are designing for NIH trainees. I asked ChatGPT to complete one of Claude Shannon's original guessing games: "There is no reverse on a __(10 letters)__"

Donc : la DGSI utilise Palantir, mais il ne faut pas utiliser Zoom. :)

wonderful post by @kevinbaker.bsky.social “To ask about LLMs and science is to ask what program was already running when they arrived. The program, as it turns out, had been running for decades, and it was not optimized for epistemic depth.”

at this point the theft of intellectual property is at the bottom most wrung of the issue with generative AI generative AI has literally made nearly every aspect of human experience worse and horrible, not just online, but outside too

I wholeheartedly agree—though after laying out a good initial argument this paper takes a strange turn with the final two sentences that seems to undercut most of its own force.

It’s good to see papers start to address LLMs as structural plagiarism — provenance, more hidden than the original words or training data. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

2. Watching the current scrambling response of many healthcare systems to H3N2 K, combined with the firmly embedded political and ideological resistance to masking, I can assure you all that if H5N1 goes human to human with a high CFR, we're in deep trouble as a species. /end

1. Like everyone else in the biodefense community, I've been watching H5N1 like a hawk since long before SARS-CoV-2 emerged. H5N1 could easily undergo reassortment with another influenza strain to create a reassortant virus with a significant CFR and efficient human transmission.

Gostei disso aqui! 👏👏👏

14. The narrative that "masks don't work" not only denies physics, but is clearly biased towards fatalism, individualism, and libertarianism. How convenient to have something you don't like rubbished by "experts"...I mean, come on folks... 15. We don't mostly need "mandates"...

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science. The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Comme l'an dernier, à la même époque, des professeurs non titulaires ne sont pas renouvelés : plus d'argent au rectorat de Reims. Quelle brutalité pour nos collègues ! Des élèves se retrouvent sans prof du jour au lendemain. Un scandale de plus qui confirme que l'Education nationale est à l'os.

People *should* be made to feel sheepish when they feed the beast by using the theft- and slopBot. I mean we can try to be nice about it (and I think I was in that moment), but at lease give em pause by showing that you aren’t on the bandwagon and don’t intend to be.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Jolie punchline de Thomas Gomart à réutiliser, dans un épisode où on s’aperçoit que de fait, le soubassement idéologique par lequel le monde « corporate » a appréhendé les changements géopolitiques depuis 30 ans, n’a parfois pas grand-chose à envier au logiciel marxiste de la grande époque.

Nvidia’s ‘I’m Not Enron’ memo has people asking a lot of questions already answered by that memo

[ #VeilleESR #OffensiveObscurantiste ] @franceuniversites.bsky.social a décidé de désobéir au DGRI et ne pas relayer le questionnaire IFOP, comme le réclament le collectif RogueESR et plusieurs syndicats.

De la part de n'importe quel responsable politique ces propos seraient une ignominie raciste, de la part de celui qui a méthodiquement détruit le système scolaire des années durant, c'est une ignominie raciste doublée d'un niveau de déni hypocrite stratosphérique

Enquête sur l'antisémitisme dans l'ESR - CP du 23 novembre 2025 Le SNESUP condamne avec la plus grande fermeté le procédé utilisé et exige que le ministre renonce à la passation de ce questionnaire. Le SNESUP demande aux collègues de refuser de participer à ce sondage www.snesup.fr/actualites/b...

Il n'est pas acceptable que le Ministre joue ainsi la carte de la naïveté. C'est un profond manque de respect envers les universitaires, les universités et ceux qui les dirigent. On a besoin de quelqu'un qui dit les termes, pas d'un bonimenteur.
