Imo dem har ingen mening om å respektere våpenhvilen. Bare innførte det for å roe ned backlash og vinne mer tid + samle folk der igjen til neste angrep.

Not empowered, but responsible. We are the majority. It is not enough to be a "normal good" person and not feel concerned. We have to educate ourselves and see the systemic discrimination, speak out each and every time until bigotry is ousted from our institutions & culture. 1nazi+9silent=10nazis

Jeg har sett altfor mange tradwives i mitt liv. De er fattige, deres barn er fattige og mennene utslitt. Derfor skriver jeg til KRFU- lederen.

Kjære KrFU-leder

Vær forsiktig med hva du og dine medsøstre ber om. Får dere det som dere vil, kan dere miste den friheten generasjoner av kvinner har kjempet fram, nemlig økonomisk uavhengighet

Jeg liker veldig at du beskriver hvordan trad-innvandrerfamilier har det: jeg tror at de krfer som fantaserer om tradisjonelle kjønnsroller ikke tenkte at disse familier danner en mye mer realistisk bilde av opplegget i hverdagen når forsergeren har en vanlig jobb.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia:
doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical
thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity.
1/n

Abstract: Under the banner of progress, products have been uncritically adopted or
even imposed on users — in past centuries with tobacco and combustion engines, and in
the 21st with social media. For these collective blunders, we now regret our involvement or
apathy as scientists, and society struggles to put the genie back in the bottle. Currently, we
are similarly entangled with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. For example, software updates are rolled out seamlessly and non-consensually, Microsoft Office is bundled with chatbots, and we, our students, and our employers have had no say, as it is not
considered a valid position to reject AI technologies in our teaching and research. This
is why in June 2025, we co-authored an Open Letter calling on our employers to reverse
and rethink their stance on uncritically adopting AI technologies. In this position piece,
we expound on why universities must take their role seriously toa) counter the technology
industry’s marketing, hype, and harm; and to b) safeguard higher education, critical
thinking, expertise, academic freedom, and scientific integrity. We include pointers to
relevant work to further inform our colleagues.

Figure 1. A cartoon set theoretic view on various terms (see Table 1) used when discussing the superset AI
(black outline, hatched background): LLMs are in orange; ANNs are in magenta; generative models are
in blue; and finally, chatbots are in green. Where these intersect, the colours reflect that, e.g. generative adversarial network (GAN) and Boltzmann machine (BM) models are in the purple subset because they are
both generative and ANNs. In the case of proprietary closed source models, e.g. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and
Apple’s Siri, we cannot verify their implementation and so academics can only make educated guesses (cf.
Dingemanse 2025). Undefined terms used above: BERT (Devlin et al. 2019); AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al.
2017); A.L.I.C.E. (Wallace 2009); ELIZA (Weizenbaum 1966); Jabberwacky (Twist 2003); linear discriminant analysis (LDA); quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA).

Table 1. Below some of the typical terminological disarray is untangled. Importantly, none of these terms
are orthogonal nor do they exclusively pick out the types of products we may wish to critique or proscribe.

Dette er bra forskning om mental helse:

«Det tyder på at økningen ikke drives av enkeltgrupper, men trolig skyldes endringer i samfunnet som har påvirket hele den yrkesaktive befolkningen relativt likt.»

Økt sykefravær med psykiske diagnoser har truffet hele befolkningen - nav.no

Nesten halvparten av økningen i sykefraværet fra 2019 til 2023 knyttes til sykefravær med psykiske diagnoser, men ingen enkeltgrupper peker seg ut.

Tiny Protein Confirmed to Dismantle the Toxic Clumps Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have demonstrated for the first time that the protein midkine plays a preventative role in Alzheimer’s disease. Midkine is known to accumulate in Alzheimer’s patients, but rather than accelerate the disease, it seems to prevents a second, sticky protein from clumping together—the chief hallmark in this form of […] The post Tiny Protein Confirmed to Dismantle the Toxic Clumps Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease appeared first on Good News Network.

Godt valg!

jeg vil ikke ha lavere skatt, jeg vil ha bedre og billigere kollektiv, en velferdsstat som ikke demonteres, et helsevesen der de ansatte har tid til pauser, en skole som er så godt finansiert at vi har råd til skolemat, skolebiblioteker og alle klassesettene med litteratur som vi faktisk trenger

WTF? "– Vi måtte ta av oss trusene og stå med beina fra hverandre mens en lege inspiserte oss i 3–5 sekunder før vi gikk videre, sier 22-åringen" FIS beklager ikke den unødvendige undersøkelsen, kun at det ikke ble gjort av kvinnelig lege!

– Tvunget til å ta av klærne

Rystende melding.
