Kelsey's recent work on paleontology is so cool that I will not even joke about it. Very cool mini-nested thread.
The hearing stuff is particularly interesting to me.

Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.
