Students at , , set up pro-Palestine encampments after arrests (Boston.com, 2024-04-22)

"Pro-Palestinian students at several prominent Boston-area schools spent Sunday night in tents after more than 100 Columbia University students were arrested for participating in a similar demonstration last week.

"As of Monday night, dozens of protesters at MIT, Tufts University, and Emerson College are occupying outdoor spaces on or near campuses to demand the schools cut ties with Israeli companies and military and call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war."

"MIT Jews for Ceasefire were represented at the tents, the group said on X. MIT reportedly moved the location of Seder for MIT students celebrating Passover from nearby Hillel to an undisclosed location, but Jews for Ceasefire is hosting a Seder at the encampment."

Anthrobots: Tiny biological robots from human cells (www.techexplorist.com)

The multicellular bots move around and help heal “wounds” created in cultured neurons. Scientists at Tufts and Harvard made tiny biological robots called Anthrobots using human tracheal cells. These tiny robots move and, in the lab, help neurons grow in damaged areas. The researchers hope to use similar biobots made from...

It looks like @TheConversationUS added a disclosure on the ChatGPT advertisement they were running for James Intriligator.

They still didn't pull the ad though.

Academia is such shit.

Tufts University "Tufts Investment Office" produces very pretty annual reports. They don't seem to list their actual investments though.

jebba,

...went to look them up in wikipedia and one of their most famous alumni came up first. No less than....

Anthony Scaramucci

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Scaramucci

He was on Tutfs' Board of Advisors of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.

I'm not sure whether to scare quote school, law, or diplomacy there, so I'll leave it untouched.

If you wonder why @TheConversationUS is writing garbage in praise of ChatGPT, maybe reflect on who funds them:

https://theconversation.com/us/partners/the-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation

They have 3 pages of authors from Tufts:

https://theconversation.com/institutions/tufts-university-1024/authors

They have a Tufts University professor, James Intriligator, write a ChatGPT "howto", without disclosing his own commercial interests.

He sells a service providing "ChatGPT Prompt Engineering". Lols. Such. trash academics.

Unfortunately @TheConversationUS has another horrible AI article. This one was so bad, I investigated....

https://theconversation.com/gliding-not-searching-heres-how-to-reset-your-view-of-chatgpt-to-steer-it-to-better-results-205819

Article states:

"James Intriligator does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment."

Except of course, he sells this crap.
