I was born with a rare disorder. In the year of my birth only two other children were born with it anywhere on earth. Because of this, the first 15 years of my life were spent in doctors offices and operating rooms. People like Ms. Siddiqui would look at my medical history and say that it would have been better "for me" that I never existed for all the pain and challenge that I - and my family, let's be clear - had to go through. And yet, I do exist - a fact I am rather happy about. Life has been far from perfect but it has been a life, and where there is life there is hope. Ms. Siddiqui advocates for death and nihilism under the guise of compassion. These are lies. At the heart of this is a darkness that few can truly comprehend. It is a thanatos, a death impulse. Pray for Ms. Siddiqui, and for all the unborn souls whom she and those of her ilk will never allow to know life.
What if your baby never walks? What if they are never able to live independently? What if you could have stopped it… but chose not to? That’s the question @OrchidInc’s embryo screening forces. You optimize everything… career, diet, skincare… but you’re going to chance it on your child’s genome, one of the most significant determinants of their health?

Only a “paradox” when you ignore the human toll, the environmental toll, and the fact that the technology manifestly doesn’t do what it’s marketed as doing.
Research reveals a paradox: the more people understand AI, the more hesitant they may become to embrace it. s.hbr.org/46DQLOW

Exactly. I make looking over others’ shoulders and copying their exam answers part of every class so that doing so is not cheating.
Replying to @zenahitz
OSU has the right idea. Try to make it part of every class so that using AI is not cheating.

The Leadbeater bill is on a knife-edge; but if it passes, you can expect in 10-15 years to hear its backers saying, “Of course, in retrospect…” and “Hindsight is 20/20” and “Had we known then what we know now…” Thread on what we know now, June 10 2025:

I love science, man’s unending quest to just shrug and accept stuff

What is consciousness? Many see this as the deepest mystery. My guess: One day, when digital systems claim to have inner experiences, we will just shrug and accept that consciousness accompanies sufficiently rich and robust information processing.

we're honestly so cooked. how is this not the headline and the only thing that matters. and instead everyone is desperate to pretend they're modern and forward thinking by insisting you use AI in every assignment
OpenAI, the company whose ChatGPT tool helped spark chatbot cheating, wants to embed A.I. in every facet of university life. Here's what the company told me about its plans to conquer campuses. nytimes.com/2025/06/07/techn…

Rob Rinder asks Steve Reed how much would it cost to renationalise the water industry? He says £100bn. Rinder points out this figure came from the water companies It wouldn't cost anything if we fined the companies into bankruptcy & then took them over. Why isn't Lab doing that?
