I don't get the "tech companies are pushing IDs as a route to total gov surveillance" thing. Surely the lesson of the past two decades is that tech *already* makes it easy to track who you are and what you're doing without your opt-in. Not carrying an ID card doesn't make you an untraceable ghost

If the UK wants to cement itself as a leader in AI for scientific discovery it should create a text & data mining copyright exception for scholarly abstracts. It's frankly depressing that abstracts aren't by default open and readily available in the first place, but publishers are now rolling back

I got hearing aids today - it turns out I’ve been moderately deaf since having chickenpox as a kid but our brains just compensate and get used to it. I feel a bit like those babies on Instagram who get their first pair of glasses and can suddenly see faces in focus. But with more farts and snorts

If you're a schoarly publisher not making abstracts freely available then you're failing at your job. Full text - license it. Abstract - open it. It's a straightforward scholary record / infrastructure vs nickel and diming call

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?
