Elon Musk’s $1.25 Trillion Mirage Yanis Varoufakis explains the mechanics of the spectacularly specious valuation of the recent SpaceX-xAI merger.

How $1.25 Trillion Mirage was engineered: More often than not, share prices are rigged - which is why they are a dreadful predictor of profitability even on average, and why they have become the primary instrument for transferring wealth upwards. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/m...

This paper has been taking shape in the back of my mind since the 1st year of my PhD. I have long been drawn to Debord’s work, so much so that, when I visited Paris, I went to Quartier Latin *only* because of him. I am genuinely excited to finally publish this!

They are executing unarmed people in the streets for trying to protect their neighbors with the full support of the federal government.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

New paper with Dean Fido accepted in Journal of Interpersonal Violence. IBSA remains understudied in Greece,esp in relation to socio-economic conditions+this work aims to address part of that gap. Many thanks to our Greek participants+everyone who supported recruitment.

Hi I'm in Lisbon and it's like my hometown (Athens) but even better and I fell in love with the city ❀️ and if I don't move either here or in Paris or somewhere in Southern Europe in the next few years I think I will lose whatever personality I have left 😭

Would UK HE be better able to defend itself against charges of irrelevance if its senior management hadn't spent the last decade pushing the narrative that a university is nothing more than an overpriced skills training facility with some modest probability of an income premium?

Great news on a Sunday(+a journal with a 5% acceptance rate! @efpraxiaz.bsky.social and I analysed the EU AI Act via Critical Discourse Analysis. While it initially emphasises human rights, it then constructs migrants+refugees as threats, justifying surveillance tech (and even polygraphs?)

Just received my co-produced and translated research materials (participant information sheet and consent form) in Urdu and Arabic! πŸ˜ƒ We’ll also have interpretation during interviews as we try to make the study more inclusive.

When I went to OpenAI’s press briefing a couple weeks ago, the moment that made me the most nauseous is when their β€œVP of Global Impact” said they were testing AI models like this across Kenya and other parts of Africa

I've never done NHS ethics before so that was a very cool process to go through and made my research skills stronger πŸ’ͺ🏻

Not to flex, but I designed an entire study (co produced with PPIE panels and individuals from diverse backgrounds) navigated both the famously challenging NHS and university ethics processes (half the time I had no idea what I was doing)+today I got provisional acceptanceπŸ₯³
