Commentaries by @… on #generativeAI use in #mathematics noting research mechanisms that may go beyond the specific field

#CitizenScience platforms must mitigate against the threat of #GenerativeAI: #birdwatching forums putting research at risk: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/20/ai-slop-manipulated-fake-images-birds-citizen-science-aoe - experts warn increase in enhanced photos on birding platforms creating fake sightings, threatening credibility of tool used by scientists. (Not aware of similar problems in astronomical citsci yet but the potential surely exists ...)

This is a pretty good rundown on why the #GenerativeAI bubble isn't like the #DotComBubble but *far worse.*

This afternoon a couple of my CI/CD pipelines broke because a user deleted all their their public repositories from #Github .
I suppose many people are starting to be fed up with all what's going on with big companies stealing our code to train their #LLMs, or maybe it's something else... who knows. It's not like we have a single reason to be discontent with Github / Microsoft.
Anyway... I started reviewing all my projects to ensure that I mirror all my critical dependencies so I don't suffer the same problem again.
