Teaching some very dense and complex material today (organ donation and transplantation). Hope the students are up for it!

i’m dead serious, this deranged insistence that everyone “must” use ai is a labour issue and academic unions should be working to protect dedicated research, writing and thinking time, not staying silent while these losers cheat their way into ever scarcer available positions
