Dunno why you say that, organic farming is a fairly popular issue here and I see very well why he's hyping it

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

bsky.app/profile/film... So the BBC is getting rid of all the programmes that help people think and replacing them with Iggy, an AI agent we can talk to who will recommend things to us we can already find easily? The BBC is fucked.

This is Ihor Malchevskyi, a 69-year-old scientist at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, escaping the flames after a Russian attack. I could also write, "the whole world watched this live," but we can see that news from Ukraine has long been out of focus. 📹: DW

> which is the cruelty of the people in power. I stopped draming about the old times as a kid once I realized that if transported back, the chances of getting killed/enslaved in a raid or killed/mutilated+exiled by a rival family for dinastic reasons or some minor quarrel would be just too high

The worst thing that ever happened in my neck of the woods were the Mongol invasions so the thing that actually gives me chills is the Mongol raid in Tarkovsky's "Andrey Rublev". I feel that in my bones. That film also contains the other form of evil that scares me the most >>>

Thinking of all the good art I like and seemingly all of it is just so *nuanced* about the sources of bad things! Evil as such tends to be a caricature. And as caricature goes, it doesn't get better than colonel Landa in Inglorious Basterds. No mention of his in the thread so far!

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

NEW from me: Over the last 4 years, America has lost more than 200k jobs in creative fields like publishing, film, TV, or graphic design. It's the worst stretch for arts jobs outside of recessions. How much is AI to blame? And can the arts' business model survive?🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/ai-and-the...

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.
