Scientists tagging 10,000 bogong moths to solve mystery The project's success largely relies on citizen scientists spotting a distinct white dot on the wings of moths.

"...a team of researchers from Western Sydney University and volunteers from the self-titled "bug nerd network" have just tagged more than 10,000 bogong moths..."

where do i sign up for this

AI Killed My Job: Translators Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

Here, Brian Merchant featured translation in his AI Killed My Job series last year:
www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/ai-killed-...

This is still just the tip of the iceberg, though. I could rant for hours!

I bet it's the same for speech-to-text, if you could find someone from that industry to explain!

Worth reading @sparkleponycass.bsky.social's thread here

A lot of the above narrow definition of what 'works' reminds me of how conservatives defend fossil fuels ("but people get energy from them! And they're widely used! That means they work just fine!!!")

This is really important. If you use Gen-AI as a creative literally in any way, you are both *endangering your own copyright* AND plagiarising othersโ€™ copyright. There is no such thing as โ€œAI-assisted creative workโ€, it is entirely (oxy)moronic
