We believe superintelligence will create significant new opportunities for all people and businesses.

Today we are starting the next major pillar of our business, Meta Enterprise Platform, to help businesses use Al to grow and transform in new ways as well.

But does that fact remain? They haven't done this yet. They have proclaimed they will do it, with big placards saying "§ 2 billion recovered." They are celebrating what they haven't achieved, and given their track record, should we belive they will achieve it?

Billionnaires defrauding you: not a problem. Imagined problem with ACA: big problem. Why? Because its YOUR TAX DOLLAR. Musk can steal your private info and can ignore paying you for your services. They can rape you. Why? Because they are the movers and shakers, and we all owe them everything. Right?

I don't think Orr has any questions to answer re. his academic credentials.
000
Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Excuse me but if you are comaring him with Jason Arday, Arday was a professor and fellow at Jesus College, Orr is a lowly associate professor with no college affiliation. If you want to know how he was hired, it seems like his academic track record was flawless, which you can't say about Arday's.

Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
No. Jason Arday: a famed Cambridge professor and fellow at Jesus College – and an academic fraudster. James Orr: a rather unknown Cambridge associate professor with no college affiliation, but seemingy a solid academic background – and apparently a criminal and a traitor.
000
Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I agree. But I imagine that a criminal conviction may also play a role. The University of Copenhagen once had a self-declared Nazi as a professor. He was only fired when he had to go to prison for smuggling.
000
Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Arday made a personal choice because he realized he was about to be exposed. I don't see that the two cases are parallel. This scandal obviously reflects poorly on Cambridge, but it is unrelated to his scholarly work, so I don't think he feels an obligation to do as Arday.

Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I'm an academic too. I've seen a few of the instances of plagiarism and find them deeply embarrassing. And I've seen videos of his talks and find them incoherent and superficial. I blame Cambridge for falling for it all.

Cofnas is a certified racist, and I'm sure his science is b.s.. But Jason Arday was a liar and a manipulator.

The only thread that I can see is the one about the marathon. I've seen sufficient evidence of plagiarism, I don't think I need to read a thread on BlueSky. I believe Cambridge made a huge mistakehiring him, and I do blame them for what happened.

I agree that he ran the marathons, but I've seen the side-by-side comparisons of his text and the text he copied. It was plagiarism.

Nej, det er ikke det vi taler om. Vi taler om kvinders ret til selvbestemmelse. Som nogle politikere mener, de forsvarer ved at fratage dem den ret.

Ufatteligt som man kan forvrænge et andet menneskes udsagn. Der er jo intet i Isam B's udtalelser, der antyder støtte til islamisme.

I min verden er han helt inden for det der er acceptabelt, og jeg er ikke vild med niqab. Til gengæld synes jeg tildækningsforbudet er virkelig langt ude. Det er jo en indskrænkning af vores allesammens frihedsrettigherder, bare fordi der er nogen, der er bange for muslimer.

Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Det ville være kønsfascisme, hvis han forlangte, at alle kvinder skulle være tildækkede. Han mener bare, de skal have lov til at vælge selv. Danmarks lovgivere har valgt, at det må de ikke. Dér begynder det at være fascistisk, synes jeg.

What a great talk. As a a minor point, I admire Flanagan for quoting historian Lee Mordechai: “My role as a historian is to give voice to those who cannot sound their own voices, whether they were eunuchs in the 11th century or children in Gaza.“ www.deepcutnews.com/p/segals-pla...

I don't agree with this. People don't have innate racism and bigotry. They have anger and anxiety and low self esteem, and the right demagogue will make them think these feelings are justified because of whatever group of people is up for vilification.

Det ved jeg så ikke, men logisk set må svaret være ja. Nu er der så en socialdemokrat, der synes han skal fjernes fra Højskolesangbogen, og jeg forstår ikke, at danske politikere ikke har en pinlighedstærskel, men det må jeg så også leve med …

Overhovedet ikke. Jeg bryder mig heller ikke om, at nogen går i niqab, men der er så meget jeg ikke bryder mig om. Og det er et faktum, at der er unge muslimer, der tager tørklæde på, selv om deres mødre har taget det af. Så slipper de for ‘mistanken’ og underlige spørgsmål. Og står ved, hvem de er.

Svært at finde ud af, hvor man hører til politisk, når venstrefløjen og feministerne ikke kan holde ud, at Isam B forsvarer kvinders ret til at klæde sig som de vil.

Det er bare kvinders ret til at dække sig til. Som er blevet taget fra dem, og i øvrigt fra alle os andre der i teorien heller ikke må dække vores ansigt til. Man kan sige det er skørt, men det er der jo så meget der er.

Enough already. You have explained in more than one way that overlapping text is not plagiarism. I can't imagine what university would adhere to that definition. And oops, Cambridge explains it in less than 300 characters. My mistake.

Benedicte Nielsen Whitehead @beniewhthd.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Relevantly for the Arday case, Cambridge University can explain it in less than 300 words: "Plagiarism: using someone else’s ideas, words, data, or other material produced by them without acknowledgement." I'm guessing you are not at Cambridge.
