KAFKAESQUE: Students at Emory University built an AI study tool. They pitched it to the university at an entrepreneurship competition. They won "grand prize" and $10,000 to build the tool. They built the tool.

The school's Honor Council suspended them for cheating and for building API support into the tool, which is what they pitched

Netanyahu, spitting out his dummy at the #ICC, says the IDF is "the world's most moral army".

Government must cooperate with ICC Netanyahu arrest warrants – and end arms sales to Israel now!

“This is seismic. The government has to immediately make clear it will fully support this process and halt arms sales to a state whose leader is facing prosecution as a war criminal.”

🚨 The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas leaders, for crimes against humanity.

Foreign Secretary David Cameron must now resign over his complicity in Israeli war crimes, which the UK Government has ignored clear and overwhelming evidence of throughout the last 7 months.

Sixteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080618164355/http://identi.ca/notice/1

It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that.

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then.

"It can't happen here."

"He wouldn't do that."

"We could stop him if we needed to."

The same justifications that people use to vote for #Trump were once used for #Hitler. We can't afford to make the same mistake twice.

Good grief. Whenever I think British politics is fucked up beyond repair, I see that someone from across the pond is standing there saying "hold my beer".

What next: are they going to ban hand washing? Condoms? Seat belts in cars?

Right-wing Australian billionaire and money-bag climate change denier Gina Reinhart apparently doesn't want people to see her portrait by the Indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira in the National Gallery.

So it would be just awful if people share this article and her portrait.

Personally, I think it's great - and might make a very attractive t-shirt?

Car manufacturers have started treating cars like glorified smartphones.

They’re embedded with sensors and processors with increasing connectivity, which means vast amounts of data is being generated on your driving behaviours everytime you take the wheel. 😬

We’ve seen insurance & advertising business models being trialled based on the data gathered from your car. Law enforcement agencies are also getting in on it, getting the tools to access these new data sources.

Countries that spent a lot on things for the public, and countries that had austerity, both had high inflation.

But the countries that spent on the public are now booming, the austerity countries are struggling.

#WritersCoffeeClub 27 April Have you ever written a section and subconsciously plagiarised another work?

Not a whole section, just an idea. Do you recognise this?

‘Are you happy?’
It’s the only question she asks these days. I have never lied to my mother.
‘In our own way.’
She reaches out a thin hand. ‘You can’t be happy in your own way, only unhappy. I want to know about you.’
‘I am happy.’
It’s the first time I have ever lied to her. She smiles her disbelieving smile.
