Folks, the use of AI to write reviews is a clear violation of peer review ethics + it endangers the authors' intellectual property rights. Don't do it.

Appreciative that @bushraamiwala.bsky.social took the time to respond to my question about how IL-9 candidates would support trans rights!

While porcupines spend most of the time on the ground, they are good climbers and regularly climb trees in search of food and occasionally even build nests in trees. They are also good swimmers.

Look around- between genAi, the wholesale shedding of creatives from the workforce, payment processors, enshitification..

It's a war on art.

...Any historical precedents coming to mind?

AI autocomplete doesn’t just change how you write. It changes how you think AI-powered writing tools are increasingly integrated into our e-mails and phones. Now a new study finds biased AI suggestions can sway users’ beliefs

β€œOverall, the study participants who saw the biased AI text shifted their positions toward those espoused by the AI.”
