If you're considering following me, bear in mind that I'm a social butterfly, both in research (as a bioinformatician), and on social media. If there's news I want to spread, I'll repost a woman's report of it (if possible). "Like" means I like something, and have read it.

I wish Disinfo Project had ¼ of the funding, & resources he had to continue work we did. Examples like this make it harder for other folk to access philanthropy. | The transparency project that went dark: Inside the collapse of Bryce Edwards’ Integrity Institute www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...
The transparency project that went dark: Inside the collapse of Bryce Edwards’ Integrity Institute
A million-dollar political integrity project has imploded with little transparency, revealing a tangle of broken promises, stalled research and an institution unwilling to explain what went wrong.

Seeing how our clinical fellow Rachael has grown into a fully fledged scientist has been wonderful to watch. She has done more sequencing runs than the rest of us put together this year!
Looking forward to the awesome paper on #UTI #nanopore study that she will write whilst being back at the NHS💪

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
