"Fabricating faces with AI does not preserve memory. It reshapes it, distorts it, and risks turning tragedy into aestheticized fiction. The tragedy of Auschwitz does not need to be made more visual, more “emotional,” or more “shareable.” It needs to be remembered truthfully." 👏

Shameful actions taken by NYU, my alma mater, against a student who earned and deserves his diploma. Why do we teach our students the history of genocide in the first place? So they can turn away and stay silent?

This is really, really bad. Columbia made the mistake of thinking that placating the administration would spare them. Other universities made the mistake of thinking it would stop with Columbia. It won’t stop without disciplined pushback; it’s an existential question for American universities.

In these times, it's crucial to have a consistent point of view on the changing threat to democracy and the rule of law. My consistent point of view is that nobody should be kidnapped and detained illegally, under any circumstances. Khalil's arrest is a scary reminder of how much worse it can get.
