Exactly. LLM outputs are persuasive enough to fool non-experts, but LLMs are nowhere near reliable enough to replace the expert. If you can't spot where it's telling you to put glue in the pizza, you can't use it. This won't be fixed any time soon; the AI companies don't see it as a major problem.

Oops I just accidentally made myself so angry about a misunderstanding of statistics I’m in fight or flight mode. I clearly need the holiday I’m taking from tomorrow evening 🤣.

Cymbeline at the Sam Wanamaker is great! Excellent use of gender flipped casting making the central romance a queer one. Also a surprisingly funny beheading (which is not a phrase I expected to use!) www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/cymb...

If you liked Star Trek Voyager the audiobook of The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway is a delight. So soothing. Narrated by Janeway herself (Kate Mulgrew). Janeway was one of my major heroes as a teenager.

Just nearly had a heart attack with a £550+ energy bill for January. Turns out they’ve just released they’ve not been charging us for electricity since we switched to a smart meter last spring…

For #FossilFriday with only 3 days to go until the 200th anniversary of Iguanodon being named, a dorsal vertebra from the #IsleofWight in Gideon Mantell’s Collection @NHM_London. Described in 1849 as having obliterated neuropomal sutures. I know what he meant but a new word for me!

Raise your hand if you recognize ecosystems are millions if not trillions of interactions, connections, cause-and-effect, etc, across just innumerable species and vagaries of landscape and microclimates such that we still haven't identified every species that lives on this marvelously complex Earth.

If you like Chekov (the author not the Star Trek character, I made that mistake for longer than I’d like to admit!), I highly recommend Three Sisters at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. The cast are excellent and the candlelight really adds to the atmosphere! 🕯️

Isn’t it lovely to spend an evening with young passionate people who are working to make a difference in the world? Makes me feel both inspired and old 🤣. I highly recommend it if you only spend time with crusty grumpy old folk (like me!)

Lots of opportunities to join committees at @britishecolsoc.bsky.social at the moment: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content-type... Highly recommend it! Fun and informative. And a great way to see how societies work, help make changes and gain skills.

The usual start of the year confusion… how is it still January? (Followed by “How is it the end of February already?” “What happened to the summer?” and “It can’t be the end of the year already I’ve got so much left to do!”)

If we learnt anything from peak Twitter it should be that performative reactions to the news changed nothing, damaged our mental health, and only created value for a company we didn't own. Let's not repeat the mistake.

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Finished a second fun day of teaching R and stats to people at the NHM. This is a lovely slide to end on (artwork by Allison Horst). The world might be rubbish but we can still work together to make cool things. Now I need a lie down…
