not with a bang, but a whimper
Yesterday we received reviews from a recent ms, and I'm pretty sure one of the reviewers just used Galactica. Very wrong, very confident.
Replying to @Michael_J_Black
Why dangerous? Galactica generates text that's grammatical and feels real. This text will slip into real scientific submissions. It will be realistic but wrong or biased. It will be hard to detect. It will influence how people think. (5/9)
🚨 PhD & Postdoc positions alert 🚨 We study evolution of #SexChromosomes, #SexDetermination, #Recombination, #Genomics #Asex We seek one PhD & one Postdoc, funded by @ERC_Research, to join Evolutionary Genomics of Sex lab @VUBrussel in Belgium wmalab.com/ 🧵1/4

com esse histórico de atleta não vai ser uma derrotinha que vai te derrubar, tá ok? O "poder destruidor" do Lula está sendo superdimensionado. Tem medo do que? Enfrenta como homem! Deixa de ser maricas. (frases: dw.com/pt-br/v%C3%ADrus-verb…, idéia original de @rcalsaverini)
🚨 Assessores de Bolsonaro temem que o presidente não conclua seu mandato devido o estado psicológico dele. Pessoas próximas relatam que o futuro ex-presidente está "depressivo" e "apático" após a derrota para Lula nas eleições.

good call. I hadn't thought about it, now it's fixed.

People complaining about losing their fanbase if they migrate to Mastodon are the same folks who wouldn't want any change in the publishing system b/c they're infatuated with their IF. (hint: if you move, your fans will follow.) 1/n

Still some other ppl are confusing creating a mastodon account (good) with a mastodon server (not good) :D My advice: instances have different _rules_ (e.g. depending on the field, discussing politics can be OK or not; an instance can be in Japanese, or multilingual; etc). 3/n

Create an account on the server/instance with rules you are happy with. You'll be able to follow folks from other instances, and you can peek at public posts from all instances. Let your followers know your mastodon handle. 4/4

"We will contact the General Data Protection Regulation and notify them"
The moment you realise that the reason your @elastic data keeps disappearing is because you stupidly left it open to the world and someone/something deleted it and left a ransom note. At least I now know the commercial value of @biostor_org …
