It's not just you. If anyone in your FAMILY gave their DNA to 23&me, for all of your sakes, close your/their account now. This won't solve the issue, but they will (they claim) delete some of your data. And in the future avoid consumer DNA testing. customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/artic…
Biden admitted today that US special operations forces have been assisting Israel to locate and track Hamas leaders, an involvement in the Gaza war that goes far beyond what the government previously disclosed. kenklippenstein.com/p/with-sinwar-…
So important to recognize forced pregnancy as forced, involuntary servitude. I argue that it violates the 13th Amendment. Here's part of the order signed by Judge Robert C.I. McBurney recognizing it's "eerily reminiscent" history to slavery in the GA Court order:
Just learned that in the GA. case, striking down the state's draconian & harmful law, the court cited my article: Involuntary Reproductive Servitude: Forced Pregnancy, Abortion, and the Thirteenth Amendment, University of Chicago Legal Forum 191 (2022) aclu.org/cases/sisterso…
Some other exciting trans philosophy now out! Jules Wong argues that recognition is an ambivalent norm for trans critique and struggle, but trans recognition practices can powerfully engage change and becoming, the body, and space and place. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
UPDATE: yesterday @routledgebooks @tandfonline told all staff that it's extra important to meet 2024 targets as they have promised the LLM companies a quota of books for them to digest to train their AIs. So if your editor is pushing you to meet that deadline, this is why!
Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

Anarchist collective teach people how to make pirated versions of expensive pharma drugs using precursor ingredients. "A course of Solvadi, the drug by Gilead that cures Hepatitis C, costs $83,000. We made it for $70." 404media.co/right-to-repai…
"The main use case for LLMs is writing text nobody wanted to read. The other use case is summarizing text nobody wanted to read. Except they don’t do that either" Touché 😅 @davidgerard ht @ahcastor 1/2 pivot-to-ai.com/2024/09/04/don…

Crikey! “AI worse than humans in every way at summarizing information … the technology might actually make more work for people, not less” @crikey_news
I respect the critiques of the academic professional development industry - no it won't save us. That said, I've found many a journal article in 12-weeks guidebook, NCFDD training, and professor is in book/article to be a crucial part of how I've gotten this far. A thread:
