Nothing that could have been built from it was; no truths or connections emerged. it was just a Sadness Event for short term buzz, integrated neither forwards nor backwards.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing βreviewedβ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

βThereβs something really biologically wrong,β Nath told me early in the pandemic, as patients with lingering symptoms began arriving in his clinic. βThey need to seek help. And if their physicians cannot figure it out, they need to find researchers who are looking into these things.β
Remember that in the UK, in space year 2026, it is *still* illegal to rip a CD you bought with your own money to play the resulting MP3s (or whatever) on your computer. That is not considered fair use. But AI companies eating all of our creative work for free soon will be.
Fuck off, Labour.

A few years ago I learned that to a highly financialised state (eg the UK), a person in debt is considered far more valuable than a person just working and paying taxes.
After reading that, suddenly every government policy made much more senseβ¦
