I'm grateful for my brilliant students. One wrote about impacts of last weekend's debacle: "if we only talk about #Waymo, we will miss a critical, broader conversation around how San Francisco’s innovation policy still treats the city as a laboratory first and a community second." archive.ph/x6Iyq
San Francisco should learn from Waymo’s power outage debacle — and enact tech rollout standards
OPINION: “The weekend outage gave us a clear, non-theoretical glimpse of what happens when new systems meet old infrastructure,” Michael Redmond writes.

A distressing story about how #car battery #recycling (not of the electric car ones!) poisons workers and people across the planet, and companies have known this for 3 decades.

Lead, the ignored matter.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Beyond the Binary: The Compounding Complexity of Biological Sex
Sex in nature is far more complex than a simple male–female divide, emerging instead as a diverse, overlapping continuum shaped by biology, development, and culture.
