"As limited as the recognition of Palestine – a state with no territory or sovereignty – is, it is a step in the right direction, because it re-establishes the existence and the rights of Palestinians as individuals and as a collective"

Recognizing a Palestinian state is a limited but welcome step that addresses an enduring blind spot: Palestinian rights cannot be conditioned on Israeli interests

As a journal editor, I agree 💯 with @catherinedevries.bsky.social. To me, the lit review is the single most important part of any paper.

There are many ways to do one, and it is often hard to do well, but this essay gives some excellent advice:

Alistair Bunkall "For the third day in a row dozens of Palestinians were shot dead as they went to get food"

Israels aid distribution isn't about helping Palestinians survive. Its about keeping them in a permanent state of starvation, controlling them, moving them & killing them

For the third time in three days, scores of starving Palestinians have been unlawfully killed or maimed in southern Gaza en route to food distribution sites established by Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Statement on the need for thorough and independent international investigation and accountability

I had the great pleasure of talking with @neilselwyn.bsky.social about some of my research on AI and the future of higher education. Podcast at this link 👇

Now that the GenAI hype is dying down, we are seeing some great analyses of how this tech is actually finding a place in higher education. Magda Pischetola (UCPH) is doing some really interesting research in this area - listen to her talk about it here! www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

I want to give credit to Metz/Weise here for stating plainly that LLMs cannot decide that something is or isn't true or false. Stating the actual, real limitations of these models is necessary, and it's good to finally see this happening in the mainstream media without any throat clearing
Today’s A.I. bots are based on complex mathematical systems that learn their skills by analyzing enormous amounts of digital data. They do not — and cannot — decide what is true and what is false. Sometimes, they just make stuff up, a phenomenon some A.I. researchers call hallucinations. On one test, the hallucination rates of newer A.I. systems were as high as 79 percent.

By Sean Carrol, the president of ANERA:

"Israel is now openly exploiting aid as a tool of war; senior Israeli officials have declared what effectively is the intent to use starvation as a tactic to pressure Hamas to release the remaining hostages — a clear violation of international law."

This is so, so bleak, but I thought this part was actually kind of poignant: people are searching for meaning in a world that has sought to eliminate all the spaces where they can learn and discuss big questions. This is what you end up with. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

"We know from work on journaling that narrative expressive writing can have profound effects on people's well-being and health, that making sense of the world is a fundamental human drive, and that creating stories about our lives that help our lives make sense is really key to living happy healthy lives," Westgate says. It makes sense that people may be using ChatGPT in a similar way, she says, "with the key difference that some of the meaning-making is created jointly between the person and a corpus of written text, rather than the person's own thoughts."
In that sense, Westgate explains, the bot dialogues are not unlike talk

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable
