- Reposted by ChrisI wrote this in a week where it felt like professoring while parenting (and equally, parenting while professoring) was impossible. This feeling ebbs and flows. Seems like Mothers Day is as good a time as any to share, maybe it will help someone else feel less alone. The More Paradox 1/8

- Reposted by ChrisI don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
- Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...

- Reposted by ChrisThankful to my friend & colleague Victor Vescovo for his important statement on #DeepSeaMining in light of all the recent attention, including US efforts to pursue it outside of international law. In short, DSM will NOT achieve the economic or national security goals people think it will!!! 🌊 🦑
