I need to adopt this style of writing emails 😂
me writing academic emails after reading Jane Austen:
I trust that you and your graduate students remain in good health. I have not the smallest wish to vex you, but I find I must trouble you for a meeting. I flatter myself that you will endeavour to fill out this Whenisgood poll before Michaelmas.

Whenever I talk about AI, a set of assumptions steers the conversation into unhelpful directions — my latest article for @techpolicypress.bsky.social aims to name these tropes so we can be more critical in the work we do, rather than reinforcing those myths. www.techpolicy.press/challenging-... #ai
Challenging The Myths of Generative AI | TechPolicy.Press

Multiple things can be true at once:
1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes
2. The war on Gaza is a horror
3. Antisemitism is rising
4. Islamophobia is rising
Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse
