Es parasti taisu analoģijas ar azbestu. Lielisks situmizolācijas materiāls. To lietoja visur. Neviens īsti nemanīja kaitīgumu. Tas bija jāatklāj. Nodarīto ļaunumu nevarēja novērst vienkārši to neražojot vai uzliekot lielāku nodokli. Tas bija un ir jāplēš ārā. Tagad mums ir "digitālais azbests".

A note to applicants to PhD student positions. Do not write it with ChatGPT. We still read the applications ourselves and it takes about 30s to figure out if it's by ChatGPT.

Young people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired. @annielowrey.bsky.social reports:

Many German universities have a so-called “civil clause” which forbids research benefiting the military. The author of the article arguing for an end of this practice is president of a Munich university.

:) Read the definition then - "resource constraints" -> not enough chicken fillet. Chicken fillet is a resource; dangerously low in the fridge is a constraint. :)

Food insecurity is when I’m not sure whether the chicken fillet in the fridge that’s allocated to the cat will be enough for this evening’s and tomorrow morning’s serving or should I go to the shops right now. Because running out of it is not an option.
