I love the concrete examples of how to avoid anthropomorphism in this article: artificial intelligence → probabilistic automation image recognition → image labeling speech recognition → automatic transcription shows bias → reflects bias hallucination → undesirable output goal → success condition

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Melbourne’s native bird community is becoming progressively simplified, or homogenised, with greater urban development. In my recent paper, I demonstrate that more developed suburbs are home to fewer individual birds and a reduced diversity of bird species. 1/5 doi.org/10.1007/s109...
