I won't QT dunk here but more than one man replied to me questioning "what exactly do you know about remote sensing for archaeology" and...I wrote the textbook HTH 😘
Uh. *clears throat*
As one of the only people in the world with expertise in Egyptology/Remote Sensing, my official take is that this study is pseudoscientific nonsense+ smells of FreshCowPatties™️. I read the original paper. It should be retracted.

I dream of never being called resilient again in my life. I'm exhausted by strength. I want support.
I want softness. | want ease.
I want to be amongst kin.
Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit.
Or for how many.

Cloudflare is now offering a feature called “AI labyrinth” where it serves a series of AI generated pages to AI crawlers that ignore robots.txt directives.
They’re essentially serving AI slop to AI crawlers that are training off of a website’s content without permission.
Deliciously devious. 😈

Cloudflare turns AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts
New approach punishes AI companies that ignore “no crawl” directives.

Heads up for fellow academics as well as other authors. I'm not a prolific published academic but at least two of my academic journal papers (on Scottish book history and library history) have been pilfered for AI training purposes. All done without my permission. #Academia #AcademiaSky #SkyStorians
Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions.

'Overpopulation' Is A Racist Trope. It's Time We Laid It To Rest
A new movie satirises the myth that climate change is a consequence of too many people. In the real world, our overpopulation obsession must be euthanised.
