To start out we nerd out a bit about how to say ‘hello’ in Hungarian, launch the new ESP Discord thread and give a shout-out to Malmö Pride where people can team up with Pontus to fight against prejudices at Malmö Pride. In TWISH we for once hop across the pond to explain the origin of so-called Barnum statements. Then it’s time for the news:
- EU: University of Lund withdraws research application after AI generated references
- INTERNATIONAL: Lie-detection AI could provoke people into making careless accusations, researchers warn
- SWEDEN: New law criminalizes Holocaust denial
Enjoy!
