I loved listening to this story about Victor Buso, an avid amateur (in the best sense of the word) astronomer, and how he took the first-ever images of an exploding star!

Our #personalscience wiki got a lot of LLM-generated spam posts in the past days, so it's once again time to rotate the captcha questions.
How has some fun ideas for questions "AI" struggles with? I've already added questions about the number of "R" in blueberry & strawberry đŸ˜‚

I've expanded a bit on my reflections about #inaturalist's push for using LLMs to regurgitate user-generated insights - and why replacing human peer-to-peer learning is likely harmful to people's motivations.

Looks like #inaturalist has released an update on their misguided "AI" efforts: Beyond their preliminary results being underwhelming they don't seem to really have learned from the criticism they got.
"People at the Center", "Openness with Care" etc. are all empty words if the results are preordained with zero control by their "community". Their "environmental impact assessment" is also disingenuous, counting their prompt-fondling but not the training…
