What is it with teachers that they still don’t allow Wikipedia as a source but happily let students cite ChatGPT et al. – “just make sure to also include the prompt in the citation.“

… what?!?!? 🤨😂

There's so much talk about AI and productivity these days. Everything is about efficiency, speed and getting more done. It seems like we are all racing to optimize and maximize everything — from how we write to how we think to how we make decisions. So are we actually gettin...

Europe, next 7 days: up to 18 °C above normal.

“It’s been hot before.” Sure. And the last ten years are the ten hottest ever recorded. This is the second heatwave in a month – made 3–5 times more likely by climate change. We decide how much worse it gets. #ClimateAction #Vote accordingly
