I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has the most medals of any individual with six. They're all gold. It's the first time an athlete has six gold medals in one Winter Olympics.
Norway's Sturla Holm Laegreid is second with five medals. None of them are gold.
