After 2½ weeks off (a beautiful 11-night cruise to Bruges and ports along the Portuguese and Spanish coasts), I've had a reasonably good first day back in work. Managed to clear / triage my inbox before going out-of-office again as I'm attending a conference for the next few days in Harrogate.

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia

Honestly, you know what some blue state governors should do?
Send their NG troops to DC to "help."
Openly say that they trust their troops more than SC and OH troops to obey the law and know what's allowed and what's not,
and they're sending them to reduce the likelihood of a tragedy.
