⭕️ Black philosophy professor sues Texas State after firing over off-campus Palestine talk
Idris Robinson, a tenure-track philosophy professor and the only Black philosophy professor at Texas State University, has sued university officials alleging his constitutional rights were violated after the school terminated his contract.
The termination followed a social media campaign by pro-Israel activists over a talk he gave at a North Carolina anarchist book fair in June 2024, the Guardian reported Wednesday. Robinson did not identify himself as affiliated with Texas State during the talk.
Robinson's lawsuit alleges violations of his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, and he is seeking a temporary restraining order to halt his firing in May.

The union for non-tenured faculty, @CfuUaw, was optimistic about reaching an agreement this morning.
But after giving the university a 3 hour extension, the two sides could not agree, and the strike is now on.

Is everyone fucking nuts? Did we actually believe that after decades and decades of studying the brain and coming up with next to zilch, that a handful of rich, arrogant midwits in Silicon Valley would come to a full understanding of consciousness and deliver to us artificial general intelligence? Do you know that the Swiss Blue Brain Project and Human Brain Project, both terminated last year after years of expensive research, which sought to digitally reconstruct entire brains, discovered next to nothing useful about intelligence or consciousness, except that a brain, even a mouse brain, is so complex that it overwhelms super computers? Ten years of the HBP made "no major contributions" to an understanding of the brain. We do not understand the mind or the brain. AI is a toy, a fake. What we have is a language model—an algorithm. Give it up. It is a joke.
