Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Corlett 1 2 Show more Add to Mendeley Share Cite https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2024.11.007 Get rights and content Highlights The fossil record suggests that climate change was the major driver of plant extinctions and regional extirpations from the Pliocene until recently, when anthropogenic habitat loss became dominant. Known recent plant extinctions are disproportionately few in comparison with well-studied animal taxa, but many more species are probably committed to inevitable extinction unless given targeted support. Recent warm-edge extirpations demonstrate the growing impact of anthropogenic climate change and show that predictions of massive climate-driven extinctions later this century are plausible. The proximate causes for population extirpations are still rarely known but are likely to be highly varied and both species and location specific."

Hello Bluesky!👋
If you know us - great to see you again💚
If you don't - we're the global charity working to secure a world rich in wild plants and fungi🌱🍄
You might know us from #NoMowMay🌷
Stay tuned for all things plants, fungi, grasslands, rainforests & species recovery🌿
Okay folks, I also compiled a list of environmental / multispecies anthropologists. #EnviroAnthro
#AnthroSky #Anthropology
It's VERY incomplete, so please let me know who I missed, or if you'd like to be added.
[Or, of course, if you'd like to be removed from this list.]

How about a kinship studies starter pack?
Please let me know if you’d like to be included (or removed). And please share!
