The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?
Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

There's a real humanitarian fellow in #Huntsville, AL with deep connections to #Belize's neighbor to the west, and each year he and his family organize Christmas cheer for kids in northern #Guatemala.

DO check out the following + support it if you can. 🙏

ℹ️🛰️ Canadian Agricultural Science from Space 🍁🧪

How does Canada's #RADARSAT Constellation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites support Canadian agricultural monitoring?

Check out the video we did in 2019 that explains it all ⤵️

“Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter.”

Boom. Mic drop.

#LinkedIn, or the land of, "I'm happy to announce..." 😹
I would agree with this, but I also think that Bluesky is better than spending all of our time congratulating each other on LinkedIn, which seems to be the only alternative these days

This 👇. I'm also missing #ScienceTwitter and I can't figure how to get my #ScienceSky 🧪 -tagged skeets into the official Science Sky feed. 🤷‍♂️ For a while, #LinkedIn felt like it was the successor to Twitter, but it's probably not. 😿
I feel like Bluesky still lacks *something* that Science Twitter had. Yes, Twitter sucks now, but Bluesky is a pretty anemic replacement. Maybe it's less engagement or cross-talk, but it still feels very hollow here.
I used to have whole conversations on Sci. Twitter, but that doesn't happen here.

Here is a press release/ summary blog post about our new paper.

Key conclusion: For every single professional use that scientists used to use Twitter for, Twitter is much worse now than it used to be, and Bluesky is better that Twitter currently is.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!

We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.

Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑
