We have normalised something completely fucking insane. Australia now has 178 billionaires worth $686 billion, while working people are skipping meals and struggling to pay their fucking mortgages.

I've been reading A Life of One's Own, which I most likely heard about from you Maria. A nod to Woolf's book. And I've been journalling a lot more to balance my AI use, which I noticed was affecting my ability to think my own thoughts. We won't have the courage to be ourselves if we live inside AI.

Also this seems gratuitous: Monbiot’s patient testimonies deserve attention, but a self-selected group responding to a Bluesky appeal cannot establish how common particular experiences are.

People living with #longCOVID, #MECFS and other complex, #chronicdiseases deserve the progress that precision medicine has brought to cancer care. That requires taking a fundamentally different approach to studying the biology. So that's what we've done.

the most accurate and succinct description of where we are at with AI
Behind the escalating warnings about superintelligence is a more fundamental issue, critics argue: There is no established path showing that today’s AI systems will surpass the smartest humans, much less a scientific basis for calculating the likelihood that such systems will destroy humanity. Yet the doomer narrative has increasingly overshadowed AI’s more immediate and concrete risks, while boosting the very companies whose products are being portrayed as extraordinarily powerful and potentially uncontrollable.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Dear @erc.europa.eu , we DO already have common standards & frameworks. 'AI' likes to pose itself as 'special' but we do not need to reinvent the wheel. We already have established codes of conduct for research integrity. We just need to apply them. See below + more resources in thread🧵
Protecting the Ecosystem of Human Knowledge: Five Principles
We must protect and cultivate the ecosystem of human knowledge. AI models can mimic
the appearance of scholarly work, but they are (by construction) unconcerned with truth
— the result is a torrential outpouring of unchecked but convincing-sounding “informa-
tion”. At best, such output is accidentally true, but generally citationless, divorced from
human reasoning and the web of scholarship that it steals from. At worst, it is confidently
wrong. Both outcomes are dangerous to the ecosystem.
Olivia Guest, Iris van Rooij, Marcela Suarez, et al. (2025, n.p.)
Knowledge production is supposed to be safeguarded by (inter)national codes of conduct for research
integrity (ALLEA 2023; KNAW et al. 2018). Such codes forbid, for instance, fabrication of data,
falsification of results, plagiarism, and, generally, distortion of the scientific record. Many argue that
new rules are required to regulate academic AI use, but pre-existing guidelines fit the bill (cf. Tafani

From @meresearchuk.bsky.social In the fourth deep-dive of our weekly Symptom Saturday series, we explore debilitating fatigue in ME/CFS – including lived experience, research insights, related diagnostic delays, and management. Read more: www.meresearch.org.uk/fatigue-in-m... #MEcfs #CFS #PwME
FATIGUE IN ME/CFS 
Fatigue in ME/CFS is not "just tiredness", it is a debilitating, unrelenting exhaustion that is inadequately relieved by rest and drastically reduces one's capacity to carry out daily activities. 
• ME/CFS-related research highlights: • Low heart rate variability linked to higher fatigue levels. • Potential functional/structural brain differences, such as in prefrontal cortex, related to fatigue. • A study showed that whilst the nature of fatigue across different chronic disease cohorts was similar, people with ME/CFS had much higher levels of total fatigue than any of the other groups. Although the studies have limitations, they are a starting point for further research.
