Please read this superb post by @deevybee.bsky.social
I agree with every word of it.
Science is endangered by the demand for speed and by AI slop.

Writers dismissed a recent NYT op-ed arguing for the spoken word in the AI era. But speech may prove key to a future in which writing forks into conversational media—spontaneous and malleable like clay—and machine-readable media that are precise like marble

For future reference: a simple documentation of the pattern that Meta follows wherein the company breaks the law it violates people’s privacy, gets caught, waits a while until the storm blows over or people get distracted, and then does it again until people stop fighting. I write it down so you can share it with media or policy makers when they get fooled by this stupid truck over and over.

I never wondered "What was it like to live during World War 2" but now I'm finding out what it's like to live during World War 3. Future trivia question: When did it start?

Perhaps WW3 began a soon as the Allies won WW2. Time to start planning for WW4
