Every few years Elon unveils a new Mechanical Turk and I have to listen to the stupidest marks on planet earth incredulously demand that other people be suckers too lest they kill the fun
Nothing funnier than all the people around me that hate Elon Musk not caring that we literally have flying cars now lmfaoooo

2008 changed retail banking. The iPhone launched in 2007. This isn’t a new trend. Is the end of an old one.
banks aren't cutting jobs because of ai. they're cutting jobs they wanted gone years ago and ai is the cover. i worked in them. whole teams on half days, untouched, because headcount was something you boasted about. now cutting it is the boast.

Banks have been doing this for years. Ai has little to do with this. A algorithm could have replaced tied wealth advice. They started closing branches way before chatGPT. Most people have fundamentally over interpreted this move.
🚨NEW: HSBC is planning major job cuts across its UK wealth management division after replacing staff with AI More than half of managers and specialists are set to go, alongside 70% of wealth managers

Since his death multiple of Arday's "outrageous" claims have been proven true. Oddly the Guardian's balanced and thorough investigation did not uncover this.
Extremely strange Guardian press release about its Jason Arday coverage. theguardian.com/gnm-press-of…

Race science should not be tolerated in the university and anyone who think this is bad is revealing how utterly idiotic they are
I was just suspended by Ghent University. They will almost certainly fire me. The decision was made by rector Petra De Sutter, a former leader of the Green Party.

Eugenics is way more academically fraudulent than plagiarism

If you’re black you’re sacked. If you’re white and racist you’re a defender of freedom. And they say critical race theory doesn’t exist.
Een bemoedigend bericht. Ik geloof in de nieuwe generatie om de academische vrijheid te herstellen.

PSA: If you are defending Nathan Cofnas right now, you are not taking a brave stand for academic freedom, you are being a useful idiot for a well-funded far right eugenicist project that aims to destroy academia. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

As a man of principle, I supported the first witch hunt but oppose the second. This is because I am a brave heterodox thinker whose convictions mysteriously change depending on who’s being investigated

I’m still laughing at this because this idiot got so caught up in crowing about his win he forgot universities can fire you if you make them look bad - his literal own aim in getting Jason Arday investigated

Cofnas shouldn’t have been hired in the first place. He’s a fraud and eugenicist. He’s not a scientist
The fact that Cofnas is investigated by Ghent University for breaking the story about Arday's plagiarism points to what I have written here before - academics live in fear that if they say something which might be construed as 'ism' or 'phobia', they lose their jobs.

Ik lees in DS dat Cofnas is geschorst omdat hij aan de UGent onderzoek heeft verricht buiten de doelstellingen van zijn onderzoeksproject. Dat als grond voor schorsing vormt voor mij, als lid van de UGent RvB en academicus, een erg verontrustend precedent.

You are under investigation by your university for the public statements you have made. That would include the video in which you said you hoped to head a "eugenics and race science" department at Harvard, and your tweet to JK Rowling in which you accused her of hypocrisy for calling you a racist.
I am under investigation by my university for discriminating against Arday

Race science is academic fraud, too. Let's be consistent if we care about scholarly merit.

Should universities employ people who advocate for eugenics and race science? How about flat earth theory? Chemtrails?
Yes, it is this simple. Remember the people who were being fired for standing up for Palestine? Either academic freedom is real, or it isn’t. If you think it’s all just power all the way down, you condemn yourself to insincerity and worse when you try to defend scholars you like.
