The entire point of writing any scholarly work is to say something that hasnโt been said before, something meaningfully (not just statistically) different, that contributes to a new understanding in the field. LLMs are very good at finding whatโs in the literature, not whatโs NOT there.

@linkletter.org: "Over 50,000 UBC students were forced to use Proctorio during the pandemic & it was really upsetting to them. They felt like they werenโt being trusted. They felt creeped out by the eye tracking & head movement tracking that it does, and they were asking for help getting rid of it."

Kitty sleeping on a cushion while doting visitor crouches down for a picture
Of course, on the same extremely busy day in the Netherlands, an early morning visit to Micky - The Space Cat at ESA ESTEC was a key priority (Didn't want to disturb his slumber at that moment but got to say hello a little later). So grateful for this brief little snuggle in the middle of shop talk!

Sade releases her โPromiseโ LP 40 years ago today.
Of โSweetest Taboo,โ she said:
โ.. Itโs about a love that feels almost TOO good, the sort of feeling you donโt talk about because it makes you vulnerable. I like writing about that kind of emotion โ the danger .. of loving someone that deeply.โ
