Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood:
Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.
I just called out a student for using AI to write an extended abstract for my class. 3 of the 4 articles she cited are fake. They are by real people, in real journals, and the titles are similar to topics the authors study. But the papers do not exist! It is wild that ChatGPT invents articles.
If you leverage AI in literature review, CHECK THOSE REFERENCES. I just finished reading through a proposal on a topic that I knew well, and thus was surprised to see several papers referenced that I hadn't known of. Then when I looked them up online, I found they didn't exist. 7 fake references.

For 500 years people have been coming up with technology after technology to replace, alter or disrupt books and they have all failed because business geniuses are somehow incapable of understanding that people really like reading

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
