They wouldn’t touch this job with a 10 foot pole. It’s horrifying how many German academics collaborated with the Nazis.

Using AI for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to persist at hard things - Berkeley News
A UC Berkeley researcher co-authored a study that raises profound questions about how we interact with artificial intelligence in education — and daily life.

Yep. And then the right-wing assumption that people will devolve into violent anarchy in a crisis. That is not what happens. People tend to become more cooperative and altruistic in a crisis—this has been demonstrated so many times over. It’s heavy-handed policing that leads to violence and looting.

I looked at her book, and while it might be entertaining and interesting at times, it is as dumb as rocks in the assessment of an airborne pandemic. No mention of that fact that people can use N95 masks to radically reduce the risk of transmission. It’s like a fictional zombie apocalypse.

Conflict of interest much? Kegsbreth put Elon Musk & Andurils Palmer Luckey in charge of a Pentagon study on what weapons the military needs. Both sell weapons to the Pentagon. Letting contractors determine the market is corruption & we the taxpayers get stuck with the bill #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Team Trump is effectively saying it misappropriated $11.5 million in taxpayer money, but they're promising not to misuse any *additional* funds. That’s nice, but there’s still the matter of the money that the White House already (and illegally) took from us. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It is one of the great tragedies of science that Rosalind Franklin died so young and before her brilliance was fully acknowledged by her peers, and one of the great travesties because it took so long for her brilliance to be recognized posthumously.

Well this is a bit disconcerting. Hundreds of people quarantined. But since they don’t know what it is, that means there is no way to test for it. Not to mention the risk of spread if there are mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic infections. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/e...

A federal district court just held that police use of Flock cameras without a warrant violates the Fourth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
constitutionally collect this information about one car-and its driver-by
following that vehicle on public roadways over a month. But this leaves the
question of why is it the government's business where everyone goes all the
time? The government cannot go snooping through our personal lives and
business without an adequate basis to do so. That is what the Supreme Court
has said since its decision in Katz through its decision in Chatrie this year,
nearly sixty years later. It is not too much to draw the line at indiscriminate
mass surveillance.
No doubt, ALPR technology comes with remarkable benefits that the
Court cannot ignore. But the Fourth Amendment requires courts to draw a line when the cost is too great. Alaniz's search in just the ALPR system
provided him with more than 50 individual records of Kyle's whereabouts
across the country for an entire month. The Court finds that because the
ALPR systems Alaniz used to search Kyle's historical location information
intruded on her reasonable expectation of privacy in the whole of her physical
movements, it was a search under the Fourth Amendment. Based on the
information in the record, the only reason Alaniz conducted that search was
because he saw her license plate was from California. That search was not
supported by probable cause, and it was done without a warrant in violation
of Kyle's Fourth Amendment rights. That search also has a nexus to the
remainder of the traffic stop because Alaniz began following Kyle's car while
