1/ Exactly this 🎯 I’ve had many conversations & email exchanges in the past few days with people worried their entire programs will grind to a halt. multiple jobs are on the line in in-country programmes. The Musk-Trump combo could be disastrous for tackling #IWT in the longer term

We have to define what we mean by “AI.” Because the model that advanced our understanding of protein folding and the LLMs that churn out the nonsense slop that fills the internet both get called “AI.” And the latter is co-opting the usefulness of the former to create this exactly perception.

AI generated imagery is an automatic block for me

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Writing a letter of reference for someone? Or (gasp) drafting for someone who’s writing for you? If you haven’t seen this graphic on avoiding gender bias, read it. Ref letters are broadly biased in both major and seemingly tiny ways. The bias is avoidable once you’re aware.
