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!

The campaign against the creation of a Linke led govt in Berlin is focused almost entirely on accusations of antisemitism and the specter of Neukölln. This is very different from the protests against the formation of the first Linke led govt in Thüringen in 2014 which were all about the GDR.

Proud to join our allies launching the Red Lines Package at Parliament yesterday – a suite of 4 bills that would ensure Australia doesn’t fund, arm, or invest in illegal settlements, war crimes, or genocide. As Jews we know too well what happens when the international community turns a blind eye.

On the negative side of the ledger, AI might exterminate the human race. On the positive side, it makes it really easy to cheat on your homework. Hence the profound existential dilemma we face.

It is good, proper, and effective to make people ashamed of their political views. There seems to be some sense that it’s impolite to actually confront One Nation voters with the racism of ONP. But I ask: why. Racism is a shameful thing and has been for a long time.

One of those 'STOP DOING X' memes, ripping into archaeology. It has images of soil stratum, a trowel, and a flint shard. The text mocks archaeologists for digging for pottery sherds and saying everything has a 'ritual purpose'.

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information," it continues.
"Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an Al model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated.
The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one."
