Hi - I draw along talks for a hobby - making #sketchnotes, mainly #science, sometimes #politics that I publish on my blog:
bio-mat-sketches-mor.blogspot.com
TalksAsDoodles
A visual blog about science and tissue engineering. Based on live doodles/sketchnotes done during talks. Some with an abstract/writeup.

"Next time you render your free AI-image in a couple of seconds, will you think of all the work, knowledge and skill that we HUMANS created over hundreds of years that made it possible?"

A medical illustrator had her work stolen by a famous surgeon dudebro ->

View Amanda Gautier-Ronopawiro’s graphic link Amanda Gautier-RonopawiroAmanda Gautier-Ronopawiro • 2nd2nd Medical Illustrator at Gautier Scientific IllustrationMedical Illustrator at Gautier Scientific Illustration 1d • Edited • 1 day ago • Edited • Visible to anyone on or off LinkedIn Follow AI is everywhere. In general, as many other (medical) illustrators I am sure, I have feared it will one day take our jobs. Yesterday, my friend Stephanie E. sent me the image on the right. A surgeon with a large Instagram following (Alexandre Mensier) posted it to teach people about Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. I am the illustrator of the image on the left, it was part of my dissertation. In order to create this work, I witnessed a (breathtaking) fetoscopic laser surgery in person by the specialists of Fetal Therapy LUMC, Leiden I have spent weeks researching in books as well as in the anatomy lab, speaking to specialists, making sure I would get the anatomy and proportions exactly right. Thinking about color use and how that would affect the viewer of the image. Waiting for feedback, sketching, resketching, and eventually painting every stroke by hand and digitally finishing the illustration. All to get to this carefully crafted illustration. And then someone took it. Asked AI to make an image of it, just so they don’t have to pay an actual artist. No permission or credits needed. This is legal theft and there is not a thing I can do about it. Not only did AI ‘take my job’. It, or rather the person using it, took my actual work, time and effort and stripped it of its very core: accuracy. A surgeon without gloves and a random number of fingers on each hand. Don’t even get me started on the anatomy of the mother or the poor fetus getting a laser through its head. I have felt every emotion seeing this monstrosity of an image. Created in mere seconds, directly from not only my work, but all the specialists involved that put their time and knowledge of years into it… a drawing on the left of a needle being injected into a foetus, and a machine-assisted copy of it the surgeon used

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Im Zentrum meiner Forschung stehen Ameisen. Vielleicht fange ich daher mit einer kleinen Einführung in soziale Insekten an: Bei Termiten, Ameisen und vielen Bienen und Wespen ist nämlich einiges anders als bei normalen Insekten. Sie leben in Gruppen, die Millionen von Individuen enthalten können.

The media needs to stop calling it a peace plan. It's a Republican surrender plan for Europe. Why? Because Republicans have embraced fascist plutocracy and Europe isn't.

Oft wird als wichtigstes Erfolgskriterium nur die Publikation von wissenschaftlichen Ergebnissen angesehen, am besten in renommierten Fachzeitschriften, die es in die main stream Medien schaffen.

Gemessen daran, war unser Labor die letzten 12 Monate recht unerfolgreich. Aber das hat Gründe.

Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.

This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

That the richest man in the world is determined to jam fascist misinformation into mainstream discourse is an emergency. I don't know how else we can talk about it.

www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu...
In an article about a Virginia-based white nationalist publication, Grokipedia cites and links to Stormfront seven times, with the links appearing at the bottom of the article under “references.” A Wikipedia article with the same title cites mainstream sources, such as Newsweek magazine. The Grokipedia version also uses euphemisms such as “advancement of peoples of European descent” in place of labels such as “white nationalist” preferred by Wikipedia editors, and the Grokipedia version is about 15 times longer than the Wikipedia article. The Grokipedia article for the 1998 film “American History X” cites and links to Stormfront six times, summarizing how people on Stormfront’s discussion forum view the film. The Wikipedia entry for the film does not cite Stormfront, instead relying on movie websites and news publications. (In the film, Edward Norton plays an American neo-Nazi, a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination.)

Cellular structure self-organizes through an interplay between internal mechanisms and external cues. The single-celled suctorian P. collini builds a trap structure to capture large prey using microtubule feeding tentacles, creating feedback between cell morphology and prey availability.
