Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Oooh ... I see where you're going with that - but on past performance, hard to see a new CAP landing even in Q1 26!?

Professor Kevin Anderson delivers some granite hard truths @kevinclimate.bsky.social
"We need profound shifts in our social norms.
It is too late for non-radical solutions.
The UK is emitting far more than its fair share of greenhouse gases.
We need deep cuts in energy use."

Ten years ago at #COP21 Kevin Anderson @kevinclimate.bsky.social was making climate reality very clear :
'It is too late for even a small chance of avoiding 1.5ºC without highly speculative tech, getting lucky with climate sensitivity and immediate global action'

The first time I was knocked off my bike and hospitalised by a driver they drove through a stop sign without stopping (or even looking as far as I can tell). I could have been lit up like Blackpool, it wouldn’t have mattered because they weren’t looking.
