Now that I've finally made the move, I'm reposting one of my favourite things I made during my PhD: 1 year of output from a regional simulation of the SW Indian Ocean (colours show SST). We often use neat schematic diagrams to represent ocean currents but in reality, it's a rather turbulent mess!

In a similar vein as the “don’t cite a paper you didn’t read” article earlier, I quite like Stephen’s take here on AI for writing.
I *could* ask AI to read papers for me, I *could* ask it to draft my text, but I choose not to, because the process IS the point. Even - especially! - when it’s hard.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
