"more than 20,000 #Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by the Russians since the 2022 invasion...

The Yale team located hundreds of #children who were unlawfully brought to #Russia...

In all, around 1,240 have been repatriated."

This is such a privileged thing to say but the recent attacks on #academia is finally really striking home. #yale prof suspended for ai new’s false claim, #palestinian protestor student from #colombia stolen from his pregnant wife, 400 mil of gov funding taking from #columbia, #22students expelled or have their diplomas revoked from #columbia.

It feels it’s illegal to have an opinion in academia, the ultimate place to form new ideas and opinions.

Apparently slander by AI slop can get you fired now:

“Yale has suspended an international law scholar and outspoken defender of Palestinian rights, after an AI-powered, far-right website called Jewish Onliner accused her of ties to a group on a U.S. sanctions list”

Besides the fact that Doutaghi says she is not a member of Samidoun, she attended events it sponsored that support Palestinian causes, #Yale Law School said the allegations against her reflect “potential unlawful conduct.”

Jewish Onliner is vague about how it uses AI to produce its articles, but the technology is known for making lots of mistakes and hallucinating information that is not true. It is quite possible that Jewish Online….

Specifically, drone flight logs show that Yale is in possession of an arsenal of at least three drones, one of which is a military-grade weapon manufactured by Skydio—a company that sold at least 100 drones to the Israeli army in the weeks following October 7th, 2023. YPD officers also discussed reviewing footage of protesters from New Haven Police Department drones. The goal of this monitoring appears to have been twofold: first, to assess the body count of each instance of protest to be able to deploy the right number of officers to handle it, and secondly, to assemble dossiers on suspected students with which to later punish them
