'benefiting from' must be a number one reason for most oppression in history. Suffragettes, (Females who wanted to vote) leveraged this and pure grit to help enable voting for women, and a lot of other things we mostly take for granted now.

Narayan believes building public consent is crucial but is “not wedded to a singular way of driving that through central diktat” But he stressed: “We are not trying to build a ton of data centres in every postcode. That is not the plan.” 5/9

But Narayan said he is "sceptical" about putting his own private data into chatbots and mostly limits his own use of AI to professional settings He never uses it to write speeches and does not want to limit his own capacity to think for himself 2/9

In therapy, if you’re a control freak to the point of minding everyone else’s wallet and manners, you learn to overcome your OCD. Sometimes I wonder if the entirety of certain pockets of our being have never left war-time behaviour. Funny thing is, when you horde materials, you’re called nuts. #hmm

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

BUT, Wood’s experience helped inspire Working Women United, a public speak-out on workplace harassment, and a new language for identifying a problem women had long experienced but struggled to name. Anyhoo, this is why Women’s and Gender Studies is important. Talking to you, Cornell.

After her denied appeal, Wood went to Cornell’s Human Affairs Program, where Farley, Susan Meyer, and Karen Sauvigné helped her find feminist lawyers to continue fighting the denial. The women began organizing around her experience, but Wood’s case still failed.

In 1975, Cornell employee Carmita Wood resigned after persistent unwanted sexual advances from a professor. When she applied for unemployment benefits, her claim was denied on the grounds that she had left for “personal non-compelling reasons.” She appealed and was denied.

In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

I’ll also add that most of the heat should be directed at USA Today, but the journalists who participated in this breach of ethics also made a choice. Organizations are made up of people. We can’t absolve the people who do harm on the behalf of an organization.

As an expert on sexual violence, I have to add that these ethical violations are a nightmare for interviews on sensitive subjects. I would never recommend ANY survivor goes public with their story at an outlet that would do this to them.

I hope for thoughtful, careful investigations. And maybe just let women run sometimes. We haven’t got enough in that district? Men can always be in the supporting and actually executive role(s). Also, in case of innocence, sending truckloads of prayers. #pleasebewell #childrenoftime
