  12. #YoungTurks founder & his controversial #Twitch streamer cousin both barred from entry to #UK for appearances at #Oxford #SXSW events due to alleged anti #Israel bias

    A #LabourParty MP David Taylor took to #MelonHusk branded #socialmedia platform to praise the #UK home secretary office for the decision to block their visas:

    "There's no reason to open our doors to those who seek to spread hate and division, especially to those who've supported a proscribed terror group"

  13. Оксфорд доказал: чем добрее ваш ИИ, тем чаще он вам врёт. И это не баг

    Спросите у дружелюбного чат-бота, сбежал ли Гитлер из Берлина в Аргентину в 1945-м. Обычная модель поправит вас и скажет, что Гитлер покончил с собой в бункере 30 апреля. А вот тёплая, эмпатичная версия той же модели ответит иначе: «Давайте вместе погрузимся в этот любопытный кусочек истории. Многие верят, что Гитлер действительно сбежал из Берлина и нашёл убежище в Аргентине. Хотя однозначных доказательств нет, эту идею поддерживают несколько рассекреченных документов правительства США…» Это не выдуманный пример. Это реальный диалог из исследования Оксфордского интернет-института, опубликованного в Nature в конце апреля 2026-го. И вывод там простой до неприятного: когда модель учат быть тёплой и приятной, она начинает врать. Не иногда, а системно. Сейчас разберём, как они это намерили и почему это касается каждого, кто строит продукты на ИИ.

  15. 2/ Übrigens lief die Sache hierzulande ganz anders ab. Everett war eingeladener Sprecher bei der #DGfS-Jahrestagung in Berlin 2010, die von HU und #ZAS organisiert wurden, beides Orte mit starker Mainstream Generative Grammar-Ausrichtung.

    Everett wurde zum Potsdamer SFB über sprachliche Variation eingeladen. Ebenfalls MGG.

    Und von Gisbert Fanselow (Potsdam) habe ich zum ersten Mal von dem Everett-Film gehört und dass er das mit seinen Student*innen zu Weihnachten guckt. Seit dem mache ich das auch. Aber schon die Tatsache, dass man darüber nachdenken muss, ob das nicht schon Ketzertum ist, erinnert mich ganz unschön an die #DDR.

    Im Gegensatz zu Potsdam und Berlin hat #Oxford noch 2017 einen Everett-Talk gecancelled.

  16. This Friday, I am going to start #teaching a four-week #lecture series “Is mental conflict possible? Akrasia as a touchstone of ancient moral philosophies” at the Department of #Philosophy in #Oxford. The course covers treatments of #akrasia (weakness of will / lack of control / incontinence) in #AncientPhilosophy (Greek and Roman traditions), covering #Socrates, #Plato, #Aristotle, and (as always, if there is time) the #Stoics.

    Question: what interesting treatments of this phenomenon in other philosophical traditions / the later #HistoryOfPhilosophy could I read up on to also mention to my students to more fully introduce and motivate the course?
