I am puzzled that those who most strongly oppose restricting GenAI use in students' assessments are people from the humanities or social sciences. Could this reflect a lack of technical background knowledge and hype manipulation a sort of dazzlement? 🤔

We have created a truly fucked-up society. We can't let this continue. I am not talking to men; we can no longer rely on them to help change this, just as we cannot rely on politicians or religious leaders. It is up to us—adult women—to do it. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Indeed! I think that social media dynamics, with short messages, public exposure, anonymity and belligerence, have also fostered this behaviour.

Academic expertise forsaken: let's pay attention to Microsoft researchers. “while GenAI can improve worker efficiency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving.” shorturl.at/wLeET

These quotes are from a 2023 survey. The 2025 survey results are worse. news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

According to survey results, 35% of undergraduate women reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact during their Cornell career, up from 23% in 2023. Nearly half of all students who responded (49%) reported experiencing sexual or gender-based harassment, an increase from 45% in 2023. Survey responses around stalking behavior – which can include unwanted messages, pictures, or videos in addition to unwanted physical presence – also increased to 17% in 2025 from 13% in 2023.

Also present in triads and polyads in general! So rudimentary! "Dichotomies, however, are not only crude intellectually, but also mostly the product of scientific pugnacity. One characterises the opponent as pungently as possible for the purpose of beating him down as forcefully as possible."

This is, more or less, how industry influence works in science. Just find the scientists who earnestly align with your interests and let them do their own thing. They’re not “on the take” but it just so happens what they wanted to do anyway is easy to fund.

And again "I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher deity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. "

These 7 men at Cornell drugged & raped a woman for hours, then called their friends to come rape her. 2 men got expelled. 5 had to write letter of apology. 0 faced any consequences. Men throughout the societal ladder are complicit. Women are not safe around men.
