Perhaps it's now time for organisations whose core missions include promoting evidence-based inquiry (e.g., universities and their academic units, learned societies, research centres, some think-tanks) to stop using X altogether to platform their work? Asking for (quite) a (lot of) friends.

I am collecting examples of the most thoughtful writing about generative AI published in 2024. What’s yours? They can be insightful for commentary, smart critique, or just because it shifted the conversation. I’ll post some of mine below as I go through them. #criticalAI
