FWIW I really disagree with Cory Doctorow on the "purity culture" thing but I'm not going to get mad about it. The man's job is having takes. He has like fifty takes a day. He is Takes Georg. The vast majority of the takes are fine, and many are actually pretty great. If I had to have that many takes that fast I would have _way_ more terrible takes. I hope he changes his mind on this one but even if not it's fine I don't have to agree with everyone on everything

Sudanese refugees, displaced by the conflict in their home country, wait to collect water. The most recent wave of arrivals from Sudan follows an offensive by the Rapid Support Forces militia group to capture the north Darfur city of El Fasher, where 6,000 people were reportedly killed by the RSF during three days in October.

Sardinia’s ancient masked rite of mamuthones and issohadores – in pictures
From mid-January until the end of carnival, #mamuthones and #issohadores take to the streets of Mamoiada, in the mountainous heartland of Sardinia. This is a time when herders and farmers across the Mediterranean turn to the power of masks to cast off winter and foster the coming of spring.

The #issohadores, who are more nimble and faster paced, also use their lassos to try to capture women in the crowd, for whom being lassoed is seen as a good omen and a symbol of fertility.

So, which mask do you wear - a tragic or expressionless one?

No, opposing LLMs isn't "purity culture." I've seen this now from quite a few different people, and I disagree vehemently. It is good, actually, to have moral principles and hold to them, even when people with more money than you find said principles annoying.
Hell, if you disagree with me and think I'm wrong on the merits, then by all means make that argument! (Preferably not in my mentions, I'm tired of this whole debacle and am not personally open to changing my mind on LLMs right now.)
But "purity culture" isn't an argument, it's an appeal to the idea that holding principles is *bad*.

청와대는 컨트롤 타워잖아요. 컨트롤 타워의 사람이 퇴근 안하고 자리에만 앉아있어도 눈치보여서 퇴근 못하는게 한국 조직 문화인데, 밑에 지자체나 일선 기관은 어떨까요. 솔직히 걱정됩니다. 안그래도 초과 근무가 일상화인 곳이 공무원 조직인데, 가장 위에 있는 사람들이 이러면 이건 일상화를 넘어 정당화가 됩니다. 이건 미안하다고 넘어갈 문제가 아닙니다. 위험한 일입니다. 공무원 조직은 우리나라 노동현장의 많은 곳에서 기준선이 되기 때문입니다. 기준선 자체가 기준을 어기고 있는데, 민간영역의 사람들이 그것을 지키려 할까요?

Be my Valentine … two female pumas share an affectionate moment at the Wildside Exotic Rescue in Herefordshire, UK. Lindsay McKenna, founder of the rescue centre, urged people not to buy animals “on a whim” from social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, saying she gets 25 requests each week from pet owners “desperate” to get rid of their exotic animals.

The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey, one of our rarest primates, has a global population of only about 250. Happily, a new survey of one of its main habitats in a Vietnamese forest has found that its numbers are stable, with a few infants sighted outside of the usual breeding season – giving rise to hopes that it may be on the rebound.

Finally got a hold of the Orion Newby vs. Adelphi University judgment.
Link: https://www.nycourts.gov/REPORTER/3dseries/2026/2026_26021.htm
In short, Adelphi used Turnitin to accuse Orion, a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder, of using generative AI to write an essay. He was sanctioned and experienced harm. He spent over $100K in legal fees and won.
People with ASD have been reported to have higher rates of false positives from Turnitin's AI detector. Stop using Turnitin if you don't want lawsuits.
