“We want to see a bit of personality. I was actually shortlisting for a job during the week for a project that I work on. And the software that I use, it generates the AI answer for you.
So I can see the applicant's answer to a question that we ask them and the AI-generated answer. And it's this kind of signal to me, sort of saying, this person has just stuck this into ChatGPT. …and the applicant doesn't know all the time, well, is a robot going to read this? Do I have to hit the keywords? Do I have to do this?
Or is that going to hurt me and I'm meant to do the opposite? It's a time of extreme uncertainty. And I really do feel for applicants.”

Opposition calls on Ford to 'reverse course' on cuts to OSAP | CBC News

My university, the University of Antwerp, is giving an honorary degree to Francesca Albanese, together with two other Belgian universities.

I'm feeling very ambivalent about it.

On the one hand it's obviously a positive gesture, an acknowledgement of the work she's done for justice in Palestine.

But my university has not cut ties with Israeli institutions. They have not made a statement on the ongoing genocide and its impact on education for Palestinians. Hell, they haven't even dared to use the word 'genocide' at all. Even though we – critical students and staff – have urged them to do all of these things for years at this point.

My worry is that this honorary degree is a very convenient get-out-of-jail-free card against criticism, because look at the statement they made! It's a way to polish their image without actually making meaningful changes to their own operations.

It's not a matter of whether Albanese deserves an honorary degree. The question is whether my university deserves to hand it out.
