What do people do with open access article licensing in the era of AI? I usually pick CC BY NC ND but this now allows for ‘text and data mining or your works’ which I don’t want. Is this… too bad for me? Or are there alternatives I should choose?

Chris Woakes sees Lucy Bronze and raises her….

Lyndsey Jenkins @teadevotee.bsky.social · Aug 2

Not wholly sure this is healthy.

Lyndsey Jenkins @teadevotee.bsky.social · Aug 2

Unexpected consequence of euros is that Lucy Bronze is now my internal comparator. If I think ‘I can’t be bothered to go for a run’ she pops up in my brain to say ‘I played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia’. ‘I can’t be bothered to do that bit of work’.’WHOLE TOURNAMENT. FRACTURED TIBIA.’

I have regularly thought ‘if you had built a city on rock and roll, that isn’t something you would be likely to forget and need reminding about’.
