  eLife's Suppression of Science A case study of peer review enabling academic abuse ALEX WASHBURNE Science was a beautiful thing before people got involved. As a child, the son of a molecular biologist, I envisioned Science as a magical community of scholars all committed to truth, a Vulcan-esque species of minds for whom evidence and logic reigned supreme over the malign influences of emotion and ego. In pursuit of this ideal, I strove for excellence, graduating  summa cum laude  with degrees in mathematics and biology, finishing a PhD from Princeton in 4.5 years, and waiting to publish results until I could overcome my own attempts at objective self-criticism. I would wait to speak until I felt I truly had something novel and significant to say. When I spoke up in the form of papers, however, I began to realize that Science is nowhere close to the idealized system I dreamt about. My first paper, written as an undergrad, sat on someone’s desk for 6 months during which t...

These Israeli Zionists religiously believe their Je...

  Google Knew Exactly What They Were Doing: Models Only Do What They Are Told BY   BRIGGS   So Google tried to get away with its “AI” named Gemini, which is to say its hard-coded dumb (in the medical sense)  model  named Gemini, substituting blacks and the occasional Asian for all whites everywhere and everywhen. (Here’s a “ viking “.) I asked it to show me three examples of the ideal soldier: Rollicking humor aside, what strikes me as odd is how Google thought they’d get away with it. Did they think nobody would notice that whites disappeared from all  history ? They must have. Management there must be so used to smelling their own farts and declaring it roses that they assumed the rest of the country had slid as far down the Woke Slope of Doom as them. Charles Haywood  tweeted It is now obvious (see, e.g., the Google image generator) the single most important Left project is anti-white hatred, both abstractly and in the service of expropriation follo...
