We are one of three libraries in the UK that have the entire printed collection of the human genome. As far as we know we are the only library who organises each chromosome by colour!

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

One problem i think with a lot of librarian discourse on "Ai" is its all very high level. While some of this is valuable I think there is more value in looking at specific use cases. I'm focusing on "ai in search" and that itself is very broad and requires further breakdown (1)

Interesting changes. Suggests the shine of using genAI for productivity has worn off. Now people want a free therapist/life coach. Might speak to the burnout cycle, or people figuring out genAI is better at vibes than accuracy.

I'm so tired of the paternalistic dynamic of folks defending libraries and library workers, without actually listening to us. A lot of the action to fight for academia now is focusing on grand gestures and theatrics, and not actually challenging power. I am tired.
