Animals commonly use a bit of shape fakery in the natural world to scare off enemies. These are dangerous times, so along with improved aesthetics, I think Miller would do better in a longer jacket and more padding. Then he wouldn't have to look for enemies behind him.

“study of around 8,000 respondents concludes that women’s lower uptake of generative AI tools has little to do w/ skills or access. Instead, it is driven largely by how women perceive the broader societal risks associated w/ the new technology.”🧪 @josiecox.bsky.social
“…women are significantly more likely than men to worry about the wider consequences of generative AI, including its effects on employment, privacy, misinformation, mental health, and even the environment.

The researchers concluded that women's hesitation is less about fear of personal safety, and more about a concern for Al's broader societal and ethical
consequences.

One of the study's most striking findings is that the gap persists even among young, highly educated, and digitally confident users. In other words, women who are perfectly capable of using tools like ChatGPT-and who already engage heavily with technology-remain more hesitant. That hesitation appears to be less about fear of the tools themselves…”

Treating libraries (and more to the point, librarians!) as obsolete in 2026 seems like a frank confession that MIT has utterly lost the plot. Makes me proud to be an alumnus of a school that continues to center the library in academic life, and to leverage its librarians as partners in innovation.
