Brill to catch up with @alexpeden.bsky.social and co at Edinburgh Research Cultures Forum. My point, #ResearchCulture work is not charity. It addresses the serious volume of waste in the system. Wasted talent, resources, time, money, goodwill, trust, and health. Is this what we want for ourselves?

The pictured tweet is overused, and yet. And yet. Sometimes people do things that make me think they are actively trying to recreate the aesthetics of a cyberpunk dystopia.

Speaking of this are any libraries doing audits of their research databases and any research tools they provide access to to keep track of all the GenAI features that are being added and whether they are opt-in or opt-out? Does anyone want to do a study with me? 📚📜
I don’t see how to get around using AI tools when companies are integrating the tech into everything. (this is coming from a librarian who deals with academic technology like research databases and data analytics tools)
