Si WannaCry n'est pas le premier ransomware, il est au moins celui qui a causé le plus de dégâts dans toute l'histoire d'Internet. Infectant plusieurs centaines de milliers d'ordinateurs grâce à une faille présente sur des systèmes Windows obsolètes, il contraindra même Microsoft à publier un patch de sécurité pour des OS qui n'étaient alors plus maintenus. Devant l'ampleur de cette cyberattaque, plusieurs équipes se sont mobilisées afin de freiner sa propagation et d'aider les victimes à récupérer leurs fichiers. Retour sur cette traque de longue haleine, entre cryptographie, rétro-ingénierie et analyse forensique. « *Perceptions des étudiants concernant les tuteurs LLM pour la formation IT : entre soutien immédiat et prudence pédagogique* » par **Amélie Smith**, étudiante en Master Langue et Informatique à la Sorbonne Université Lors de cette conférence, nous nous intéresserons aux perceptions des jeunes et des étudiants à l’égard des LLM éducatifs dans l’enseignement de l’informatique. Dans l’ensemble des études synthétisées, les tuteurs LLM sont généralement appréciés pour leur accessibilité, leur immédiateté et leur utilité dans le soutien à la compréhension, à la syntaxe, au debuggage et à la réalisation des tâches (Kazemitabaar et al., 2024 ; Lyu et al., 2024). Toutefois, ces perceptions positives sont nuancées par des préoccupations récurrentes concernant la fiabilité, le caractère parfois générique des retours, le risque de dépendance et le soutien limité au développement de l’esprit critique (Frankford et al., 2024 ; Kazemitabaar et al., 2024 ; Lyu et al., 2024). La littérature met également en évidence une tension pédagogique plus large entre les gains d’efficacité permis par les LLM et la nécessité de préserver le raisonnement autonome ainsi que le rôle central des enseignants (Frankford et al., 2024 ; Lyu et al., 2024). Dans cette perspective, les approches les plus prometteuses sont celles qui intègrent les LLM dans des cadres pédagogiques soigneusement conçus, appuyés par une formation à la littératie de l’IA, un guidage aligné sur les contenus de cours et des contraintes pédagogiques transparentes (Kazemitabaar et al., 2024 ; Lyu et al., 2024). Dans l’ensemble, les études suggèrent que les tuteurs LLM sont perçus le plus favorablement lorsqu’ils fonctionnent comme des outils complémentaires, sensibles au contexte et inscrits dans un environnement pédagogique centré sur l’humain (Frankford et al., 2024 ; Kazemitabaar et al., 2024). **🥗 Après les talks** Buffet froid sans alcool et végétarien. Un moment idéal pour échanger entre personnes passionnées de tech et découvrir l’écosystème parisien. 📚 **Bonus** Le livre Yeeso “IT Women” sera disponible à la vente : 52 portraits inspirants de femmes dans la tech, des articles et conseils concrets pour agir en faveur de l’inclusion.

Join us for a long pose workshop with a male model, led by figurative artist John Kelly. The session consists of 45 minutes of drawing or painting, followed by a 15-minute break, and then another 45 minutes with the same pose. John will be present throughout the entire session to offer individual guidance on the principles of drawing and painting from life. If you prefer a more self-directed approach, you are welcome to work independently at any time. The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists. It offers a supportive environment to develop your artistic style while exploring different aspects of academic drawing or painting, experimenting with new techniques, or refining compositional ideas. It's designed to guide your exploration of the human form through an anatomical lens while capturing the model's emotional presence. As always, posing for you are professional fine art models affiliated with the Beaux-Arts de Paris and other Parisian life drawing ateliers. Please bring your preferred art materials. All media are allowed, including pastels, ink, watercolor, or paint. If you need additional advice on materials, such as oil paints or watercolor paper, please don’t hesitate to contact John directly at jfkellydesign@gmail.com or send us a message. This session doesn't provide a basic drawing materials set. Once again, please remember to bring your own art supplies. **About John Kelly** Born in Paris and raised in New York, John studied at the School of Visual Arts before pursuing a career as an art director and oil painter. He employs traditional oil painting methods while also painting *alla prima*. Influenced by Balthus, Degas, and traditional Japanese prints, his figurative work explores the psychology of the model and the viewer’s gaze.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM).
