Genocide?
“I would be very interested in the views of the legal and genocide experts as to whether they consider the massacre by Hamas on 7 October 2023 and the subsequent torture and murder of the hostages they captured to be genocide too? Given the very broad definition of the word ‘genocide’, I’m also interested in whether there is now another specific term for the intentional systematic killing of a group of people – for example, by rounding them up and forcing them into gas chambers?”
Pnina Levine, Deputy Head of Curtin University Law School
AI slaves
“Artificial intelligence looks set to take over all of the higher paid ‘intelligent’ financial, IT and accounting jobs, leaving humans to become the ‘slaves’ working as cleaners, personal carers and hospitality workers. This doesn’t encourage kids at school to study hard. What’s the point of going to university if your job is just going to be taken over by AI?”
Artificial Unintelligence
“Your recent fascination with so-called ‘AI’ is one-sided and starry-eyed. This technology is NOT intelligent – it can only rehash what it has seen – and is radically contributing to declines both in human intelligence and the possibility for a healthy climate.”
