  4. Quick! Get her!

    "A student at the #University of #Exeter has alleged that she was subjected to a torrent of #antisemitic abuse on #campus, despite not being #Jewish, simply due to her work with a #Holocaust #education charity.

    #AmberleyThay, 20, a third-year history student who works as a regional ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust ( #HET), claimed to have been labelled a “mouthpiece for #Israel” thanks to her advocacy for more comprehensive teaching about the #Shoah.

    She has been involved with the charity for four years, first engaging with it during a visit to #Auschwitz as part of its Lessons from Auschwitz project."

  5. The pet I’ll never forget:
    Harold, the halls of residence #cat, who looked after me when I first left home

    He was the gorgeous furry #tabby who made my day, even when he waltzed into my flat just to finish my takeaway. Now he’s a #campus #celeb, with a part-time job guarding the doors of the #village shop

  14. What is AI, and why is it harmful? What is AI, and why is it harmful?

    This talk serves to demystify and redefine AI in radical ways, as well as highlight how it can harm. We will touch on historical examples — and we will explore critical lenses, which can help us be thoughtful and careful in understanding what AI is and can do. Finally, some ways forwards will be discussed such that we can move towards a better present.

  16. You would think someone smart enough to go up to #University would steer clear of dodgy #scams (even if they are a business management student) but not shank his former friend in broad daylight in the street directly outside the University!

    Was a 3 grand loss really worth doing 10,5 years in #prison for? (assuming 66,67% early release as it was #manslaughter rather than murder with a minimum tarriff)

    Maybe he even calculated that (works out as about 77p per day he sits inside)

    Not the first #stabbing amongst Uni students in recent times either, there was once a time when they were less likely to resort to #violence but it seems #ToxicMasculinity has also put paid to that..

  17. The release didn’t name the schools, but a #US official … said they include #Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [ #MIT ] & #JohnsHopkins University.

    …Sarah Spreitzer, VP at the American Council on #Education, which represents #college & #university presidents, raised concerns that the announcement suggests, without any evidence, that the #schools are engaged in wrongdoing.

    #TU9 German Universities of Technology e.V. (TU9), an #alliance of #nine #leading #technology #universities in Germany, signed an MOU with the Taiwan Comprehensive University System ( #TCUS ) ...

  19. "We want to make you aware of an incident that occurred at the home of #Jewish #students at #UCSD over the weekend.

    We will not allow #antisemitism or hate to diminish our Jewish pride or deter our Jewish joy.

    I want to pull back the curtain a little bit and be real with you. Over the past 24 hours, #Hillel has checked in multiple times with students, coordinated with #University police, SDPD, worked with our partners at #UC #SanDiego, #SCN, and all the other Jewish agencies, provided meals and will continue to provide dinners all week for students, communicated with our community, helped facilitate #rabbinic support, and purchased extra security devices for four different student homes– again all in a matter of hours. We also raised enough in the moment to make that happen, as these are not expenses normally worked into our budget.

    While we all hope each incident is the last, the reality is that vandalism, harassment, and threats have not stopped."

  21. What a week! I just came back from the Nordic Summer University's 76th summer session in Latvia. There, together with Eeva Houtbeckers, we ran one of the 10 study circles, on "LowTech, Luddism and Liberation"

    Our 3-year circle is centered on degrowth and exnovation, and this summer's theme revolved around resistance to AI & BigTech, as well as the development of (s)low-tech alternative technologies that are centered on care and solidarity. We had workshops on zine-making and notebook-making, a lowtech solar-cooker tutorial (incl actual solar cooking of some bread and cheese!), lectures on anti-AI tools, education and social movement building, an art installation on techno-resistance, utopian world-building exercises, mental trips into ecofeminist sci-fi worlds, magic incantations, dancing rituals on the beach, and many many more.

    I learned so much from the other circle participants, and we all shared resources that we'll be sure to bring to our local living and working places. None of this would have been possible without them. Thanks also to the Nordic Summer University's board, deputies and organizers that made this whole week amazing and magical in so many ways!

  26. Robert Socolow was a founder of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative of #Princeton University. He has articulated pathways to reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for minimizing climate change, especially the concept of climate stabilization wedge.

    In his 2007 Senate testimony, Robert Socolow cited the proposed 500-MW H2 and #CCS project at BP's Carson refinery in California as evidence of the technology's commercial maturity. The project was highlighted as an example of a near-commercial, full-scale deployment effort.
    But it never happened.

  27. A quotation from Henry Commager

    We are shocked when we see educators, timid before criticism and confused about first principles, betray their trust. And we wonder what can be that "philosophy of education" which believes that young people can be trained to the duties of citizenship by wrapping their minds in cotton wool.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 1, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

    AI has broken brains, students getting "F" have 👉 more than tripled to more than a third of the computing class.

    Not only does "guaranteed to be broken" AI ruin software, just having it in the room destroys coders.
