Guillaume Herblot presented Laure Westphal as a doctor in psychology, a teacher at Sciences Po, and a clinician at GHU Paris, and criticized her comments on the case of a 14-year-old student who shot her teacher and principal. He summarized her analysis as an explanation based on supremacist, masculinist, and far-right ideas, and deemed it inappropriate for the student's age. Herblot believed that this ideological reading diverted attention from issues such as the circulation of arms and the collapse of authority. He accused public service of operating as a "propaganda factory" and called this approach grotesque. https://t.co/c97F87Nc2C #Psychologie #Éducation #Société (translated)

Mehdi contrasted these topics with the superficial content and demonstrations of image and video generation that he claimed to see on social networks, and recommended listening to the intervention. #IA #DeepTech #Innovation (translated)
