The author wrote that French writer Dora Moutot had been criminally convicted and could face prison time for describing a trans woman as a man and as transfeminine. The author also said that Nathan Cofnas, an American academic living in Belgium, was being taken to court by Belgium’s official equality agency. https://t.co/SgT9ICetvY #LibertéDExpression #TransIdentité #DroitsHumains #FR #US #BE

The author wrote that Hitler had purged Jews from German universities in 1933, costing the country a generation of Jewish scientists, and had nearly destroyed what the author described as the world’s leading academic system. The post then contrasted this with 2026, saying there were no direct expulsions of Jewish people. https://t.co/Ld2uFgpvmY #Historia #Holocausto #Educación #DE

There is an "incident" at a youth camp on the island of Utøya, where "irregularities" have reportedly broken out among different young people. The camp has been canceled for the time being. Some extremist individuals spoke very early and very prematurely and very irresponsibly about. https://t.co/icmsMB3KyI #Utøya #jeugdkamp #incident #NO (translated)

To know whether “superintelligent” AIs are about to kill us all, you need more than technical expertise in AI. You also need a sophisticated understanding of concepts like “intelligence,” “intentionality,” and “goals.” Better still, you need an evolutionary understanding of how #AI #Superintelligence #Philosophy #Therearenospecificcountryreferencesinthetweetprovided.Therefore #theansweris:

The strategy of disguising fighters as journalists—and thereby endangering the lives of genuine journalists—is not simply a matter of Hamas’s depravity. The terrorist group is just responding rationally to incentives and encouragement from deluded Westerners: “If you wear a press #Journalism #Hamas #Terrorism #IL #PS #US

Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it lied to itself for decades about the nature of the Islamic currents that motivate Hamas and "Palestinianism" more broadly.

The canonization of Jason Arday proceeds apace. By burying evidence of its own deeply racist hiring practices and evading all accountability, @Cambridge_Uni is already laying the groundwork for the next Jason Arday. This decision also creates a profoundly perverse incentive: if https://t.co/UUQRGLosv8 #CambridgeUni #RacismInAcademia #Accountability #GB

Here's the video clip of philosopher Freddy Mortier being booed by students after making some remarks about the Cofnas affair, preventing him from continuing his speech. The dean then takes the stage to condemn Mortier’s remarks as “completely inappropriate” and apologize to the #Philosophy #FreedomOfSpeech #UniversityDebate #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #theresultis:

So you have to read 4,000 words into OpenAI’s post-mortem of the Hugging Face incident to find this rather crucial admission: Oh, by the way, did we tell you all the safeguards were switched off during this test?

Anti-Zionism is really melting people's brains. Apparently nobody pauses to reflect on the obvious contradiction here: if Israel intends to indiscriminately kill every single Gazan (which is what "genocide" means), why on earth would it pour resources into sophisticated AI #AntiZionism #Genocide #Israel #IL #PS

"One new element in the forecasts of AI-enabled doom is AI companies disclaiming responsibility for their own products. “I didn’t do it; my out-of-control agent did!” There’s a balance to be struck between the responsibility of the tool maker and the tool user, but when something #AI #Responsibility #TechEthics #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.

Prediction: the Western legacy media will ignore these reprehensible anti-Ukraine statements by @FranceskAlbs (as well as her appearance on the Russian propaganda channel RT) right until there is a diplomatic incident at the UN and it becomes truly unignorable. Then they will run #Ukraine #MediaBias #Diplomacy #UA #RU

Voorspelling: de Vlaamse media zullen deze verwerpelijke anti-Oekräine uitlatingen van onze eredoctor @FranceskAlbs negeren (alsook haar verschijning op Russische propagandakanaal RT) tot het écht niet meer anders kan en er een diplomatiek incident is bij de VN. Vervolgens zullen #VlaamseMedia #DiplomatiekIncident #RussischePropaganda #UA #RU

What the actual fuck? Als de Russen ophouden met de invasie, houdt het “doden van Russen” ogenblikkelijk op. Maar als de Oekraïners morgen ophouden met het “doden van Russen”, houdt hun natie op te bestaan en staat Poetin aan de grens met Polen (zijn aartsvijand), naast Slovakije #Oekraïne #Rusland #invasie #RU #UA #PL #SK

I've just returned from a trip to Ukraine—Lviv and Kyiv. It was, as you can imagine, a harrowing yet immensely inspiring experience, one that will stay with me for a long time.

Ik had nog niet gereageerd op het incident met Freddy Mortier op de proclamatie, omdat ik probeer me in te houden over mijn voormalige werkgever @UGent. Maar omdat @destandaard me erover opbelde, hierbij mijn mening: Het staat studenten en academici uiteraard vrij om uit protest #FreddyMortier #UGent #AcademischeVrijheid #BE
