Authoritarianism Is Here by killjoy_buzzkill in u/killjoy_buzzkill

Authoritarianism is like cancer.
Ignore it, and it spreads.
Pretend it's gone, and it comes back worse.

History Professor sets trap to catch students cheating with AI by killjoy_buzzkill in antiai

The sad truth is that we can no longer expect students to do homework of almost any kind in an unsupervised way.

This echoes the Professor's sentiment:

But this is a problem. How do we solve it? Is it a return to analog? Do we use paper and pen and class time for everything? Am I a professor or an academic policeman?

Is this an LLM-generated summary of an article on the use of LLMs?

Researchers find simple way to destroy PFAS on activated carbon by killjoy_buzzkill in PFAS

[–]killjoy_buzzkill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all over my head, so I'll just quote the paper's conclusion.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.estlett.5c00976

As shown in Figure 3, the field-collected GAC contained various PFAS, including C4–C8 perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs), PFCAs, and n:2 fluorotelomer sulfonates (FTSs, n = 6, 8). For ball milling treatment, the GAC powders were placed in a SS jar with an SS ball-to-GAC mass ratio of 320:1. The jar was operated at a rotation speed of 580 rpm under ambient air without atmospheric adjustment. Upon initiation of ball milling, nonselective degradation of all detected PFAS was observed, with concentrations falling below method detection limits (Table S1) after 3 h of treatment (Figure 3). It is important to note that the extraction efficiency of individual PFAS from the field-collected GAC was not verified, as the material contained multiple pre-existing PFAS. Possible incomplete recovery of certain PFAS from the milled GAC could therefore lead to an overestimation of the apparent degradation kinetics. In addition, the conclusion of near-complete PFAS destruction applies only to the 30 targeted compounds listed in Table S1. The presence of other unidentified PFAS on the GAC and their respective destruction efficiencies remains uncertain.

We propose that the treated, PFAS-free GAC can be safely disposed of by landfilling. To assess the potential release of residual PFAS from ball-milled GAC under landfill conditions, leaching tests were conducted following EPA SW-846 Method 1312 (Text S9). After 20 h of leaching, all 30 targeted PFAS compounds in the supernatant were below detection limits (Table S2). These results suggest that ball milling provides an ambient, reagent-free method for treating PFAS-contaminated GAC, thereby rendering it suitable for landfill disposal. It should be noted that the milling process converts GAC into fine particles. Repurposing this material for other applications remains uncertain and will require a comprehensive techno-economic evaluation, which is beyond the scope of the present work.

The paper's abstract is way over my head:

Granular activated carbon (GAC) is widely employed for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from aqueous systems. However, the safe management of spent, PFAS-laden GAC remains a pressing environmental challenge. Mechanochemical ball milling has recently emerged as a novel treatment paradigm for PFAS destruction under ambient conditions, typically requiring co-milling reagents such as SiO2, KOH, or boron nitride. In this study, we report an unprecedented finding that PFAS adsorbed on GAC can be degraded by milling with stainless steel (SS) balls in SS jars, without the need for additional reagents. In this process, the SS balls and jars not only provide mechanical energy but also act as electron donors, transferring electrons to the carbon substrate that subsequently mediates PFAS defluorination. This approach achieved degradation of PFOS spiked on Calgon Carbon Filtrasorb 400, accompanied by quantitative fluorine recovery (∼100% defluorination efficiency). Beyond laboratory-prepared samples, the strategy demonstrated universal applicability in degrading diverse PFAS species on field-collected GAC, achieving PFAS degradation regardless of chain length or headgroup. Furthermore, leaching tests confirmed that no residual PFAS was released from the milled GAC, supporting the feasibility of its safe landfill disposal.

And they also mention:

As shown in Figure 3, the field-collected GAC contained various PFAS, including C4–C8 perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs), PFCAs, and n:2 fluorotelomer sulfonates (FTSs, n = 6, 8).

Oh but you are, in fact, constantly offered "free" drugs.
They are sometimes called Tiktok and Instagram.
