7/ And this is, fundamentally, a far-right movement. These are the conspiracies & bad science of the Freedom Convoy. While UOF claims CFIA isn’t testing properly to gain public sympathy, UOF’s Katie Pasitney states that PCR testing is fake.

1/ I don’t want to use the term “cult” lightly, but I don’t know what to call the Universal Ostrich Farms situation other than “cult” these days. I hesitate to share their claims because the followers themselves are so bad at facts but one thing they can’t hide is the bullying campaign.

Facebook post: The world is watching! Please pray for the lives on these innocent, sweet ostriches as they are set for slaughter any time now (tonight or tomorrow) by the CFIA. They are not for food and the owners were denied testing to prove their health. If they test their own ostriches with their own money they will get a $250,000 fine and 6 months in jail. The real reason the CFIA wants them slaughtered is because it's been recently discovered the ostrich eggs have antibodies that can cure diseases which puts big pharma at risk. It's about greed not safety. We must stand up to government overreach. Please pray for these 400 innocent lives.

3.5 Supposedly students are all cheating now No serious scholar or scientist in their right mind would want LLMs to produce their texts; and hence, also no student pursuing an academic education would want to do so. Iris van Rooij (2022, para. 7) Students have always cheated. Bending and breaking the rules is human nature. And by the same token, educators are not police. We are not here to obsessively surveil our students — education is based on mutual trust. Therefore, our duty is to build mutually shared values with our students and colleagues. Especially when education is not valued, we as educators are obliged to show our students 11 O. Guest et al. that they are not just here to receive a degree: education is more than qualification (Biesta 2021). It is about preparing students to become a capable and active members of society. We emphasize that there are two victims of plagiarism: the original authors whose work is taken without credit and the audience who is being deceived.

4. the disregard for the corrosive power of anthropomorphism, which is taken advantage of by industry to sell & steal our data, in the base case scenario, and in the worst to abuse and push vulnerable groups to dependance and worse. (Section 3.4 here doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) 6/n

3.4 Anthropomorphism and other circular reasoning While opacity is a distinguishing feature of many other areas of science and technology, the myths surrounding computing may stem less from the fact that it is an opaque esoteric subject and more from the way in which it can be seen to blur the boundary between people and machines (Turkle 1984). To be sure, most people do not understand the workings of a television set or how to program their video cassette recorders properly, but then they do not usually believe that these machines can have intelligence. The public myths about computing and AI are also no doubt due to the ways in which computers are often depicted in the mass media — e.g. as an abstract source of wisdom, or as a mechanical brain. Brian P. Bloomfield (1987, p. 72) There is circular reasoning at play when we suggest and assume machines can think, reason, or argue like humans can, and therefore, treat them — and test them — like humans. Within human-machine 10 Against the Uncritical Adoption of ‘AI’ Technologies in Academia interaction research, often, AI technology output is compared to human performance, mistakenly assuming such benchmarks are informative about AI’s capabilities. However, correlations with human output mean little to substantiate claims of human-likeness, especially when the input to the AI models tested is the output of human cognition in the first place. There are so many cases of this from daily life and the history of science that it appears shocking such results are taken so uncritically to be cognition (Bernardi 2024; Guest 2025; Guest and Martin 2023; Placani 2024; van Rooij and Guest 2025).

3. the obsession with denying and rewriting history, pretending AI only appeared in the last 3 years or that it has no history before the last few decades, etc. (Section 3.3 here doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) 5/n

3.3 Ahistoricism and the AI hype cycles When I started writing about science decades ago [...] I edited an article in which [a computer scientist] predicted that AI would soon replace experts in law, medicine, finance and other professions. That was in 1984. John Horgan (2020, n.p.) When we engage with the public, we notice people think that AI, as a field or a technology, appeared on the scene in the last three years. And they experience confusion and even dissonance when they discover the field and the technologies have existed for decades, if not centuries or even millennia (Bloomfield 1987; Boden 2006; Bogost 2025; Guest 2025; Hamilton 1998; Mayor 2018). Such ahistoricism facilitates “the AI-hype cycles that have long been fuelled by extravagant claims that substitute fiction for science.” (Heffernan 2025, n.p. Duarte et al. 2024). We have been here before, both with entanglements of AI and statistics with industry corrupting our academic processes, and with so-called AI summers: hype cycles that pivot from funding booms to complete busts and cessation of research (Bassett and Roberts 2023; Boden 2006; Law 2024; Lighthill et al. 1973; Merchant 2023; Olazaran 1996; Perez 2002; P. Smith and L. Smith 2024; Thornhill 2025). To understand how industry tries to influence independent research for their benefit, we can look to past examples of entanglement of industry and statistics. Ronald A. Fisher, a eugenicist and “the founder of modern statistics” (Rao 1992), having been paid by the tobacco industry, claimed that because ‘correlation is not causation’ that therefore ‘smoking does not cause lung cancer’ (Fisher 1958; Stolley 1991). The parallel between tobacco and technology does not end here: “both industries’ increased funding of academia was as a reaction to increasingly unfavourable public opinion and an increased threat of legislation.” (Mohamed Abdalla and Moustafa Abdalla 2021, p. 2; also see Knoester et al. 2025) The histories of eugenics, statistics, comput…

We also go through many arguments that can be used as counters to typical false frames forced upon us, such as: 1. the powerful nonsense that we as experts know nothing (Section 3.1 here doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) 3/n

3.1 Rejection of expertise, ironically including our own Being in a colonizing discipline first demands and then encourages an attitude that might be called intellectual hubris. Furthermore, since you cannot master all the disciplines that you have designs on, you need confidence that your knowledge makes the ‘traditional wisdom’ of these fields unworthy of serious consideration. Here too, the AI scientist feels that seeing things through a computational prism so fundamentally changes the rules of the game in the social and behavioural sciences that everything that came before is relegated to a period of intellectual immaturity. Sherry Turkle (1984, p. 230) Every field that comes into contact with AI discourse becomes infected even within AI as a field of study (recall Table 1). Our colleagues have embraced these systems, uncritically incorporating them into their workflows and their classrooms, without input from experts on automation, cognitive science, computer science, gender and diversity studies, human-computer interaction, pedagogy, psychology, and law to name but a few fields with direct relevant expertise (Sloane et al. 2024). Meanwhile, technology companies have rushed to invest in ‘AI ethics’ or ‘AI safety’ to ethics wash their claims, thereby “laundering accountability” (as Abeba Birhane explains in Arseni 2025) and “distracti[ng] from real AI ethics” (Crane 2021), while censoring academics and thus, violating academic freedom (Gebru and Torres 2024; Gerdes 2022; Goudarzi 2025; Munn 2023; Ochigame 2019; Suarez et al. 2025; Tafani 2023).

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.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

"A democratic society needs people in Klein’s position to treat Kirk’s anti-democracy stances as disqualifying, rather than pretend they’re just another policy opinion like tax rates. Media leaders are among those responsible for making sure ideas relegated to the dustbin of history stay there."

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

There is real wisdom here. For over a decade, liberals existed in a world in which their opponents have denied that they meant what they said. Now this is unraveling in a frenzy of speech and thought policing by governments who cannot bear to hear their own words spoken back to them.

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act," intro'd by Rep. Schriver, is unlikely to go anywhere. But it does have 5 co-sponsors— a ludicrous bill is backed by 20% of Republicans in the MI House. That's not nothing. Republicans are telling you what they would do if they could get away with it.

House Bill 4938 of 2025 Sponsors Josh Schriver (District 66) Joseph Pavlov (District 64) Matt Maddock (District 51) James DeSana (District 29) Joseph Fox (District 101) Jennifer Wortz (District 35)

As far as I can tell, the law itself would be banned for even discussing issues like "group sex" and "fellatio." I would ostensibly be facing a felony even for sharing this as there are only exemptions for "scientific and medical research or instruction or peer-reviewed academic content."

The bill would make it a felony to share, distribute or even host "prohibited" content — which includes not just trans info but any mention of masturbation, sex or even sexual "moaning" Music, art, healthcare — even news coverage of issues sex or gender all banned.

No worries. Not to keep piling on, but while you're receptive to it I might suggest breaking the habit of referring to people online as "accounts." Or, at least, be aware that it's dehumanizing and just weigh that notion before saying it. Some accounts aren't human, ofc, so use your own discernment.

Just because an explanation hypothetically exists doesn't mean it needs or ought to be articulated to the individual you've harmed. At that point, the "explanation" becomes an excuse, and you are engaged in the process of excuse-making regardless of intent.
