I think we can keep two things in our minds simultaneously. Rejecting AI illustrations for a scientific magazine cover does not necessitate rejecting AI supported subtitles, image recognition etc.

yeah this is quite disappointing from @rsb.org.uk . doesn't look like they themselves have posted this to their socials, perhaps they know it's sloppy.

Und falls Sie eine akademische Karriere in Deutschland anstreben, könnte diese Abhandlung über prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse in der deutschen Wissenschaft im Laufe der Zeit für Sie von Interesse sein.

For example, if you are estimating phylogenetic signal of binary data using Fritz & @andypurvisnhm.bsky.social D-estimate it is necessary that the data is not very skewed (for example, 1 tip in one state, 99 in another). Otherwise, the test doesn't work. More: hedvigsr.tumblr.com/post/7454773...
D-estimate test of phylo signal - sanity checks
Just a brief message about a problem with Fritz and Purvis' test of phylogenetic signal in binary traits - D-estimates. When the distribution of tip values is highly skewed (e.g. 5% one way, 95% the.....

One of the issues you raise as a factor is the employment conditions, in MPG & academia broadly. I was intrigued to learn that MPG and German universities used to employ more people on tenure basis than they do now.
