Let me be even clearer, in case anyone thinks I was just mildly implying individual criticism of academics who do this.

If you're an academic, and you choose to make use of the commercial tools now commonly described as "AI" to conduct any part of your research, you're a scab. You're willing to throw your own damn profession under the bus by carrying water for the fascist-capitalist class which is destroying academia. I'm ashamed of you.

Here's my list of actions (which I frame carefully by saying "when I hear a depressing talk, I want a list of things I can do myself immediately. If you are like that, pick one or two of these and run with it! If not, no guilt!")

Cerca di risollevare l’attenzione su questi temi ogni volta che viene osservato un corpo celeste diverso dal solito. Queste affermazioni non meritano credito. Gli oggetti come 3I/ATLAS sono importanti non perché siano manufatti alieni ma perché ci possono fornire indizi sugli ambienti intorno a stelle distanti dalla nostra, che non siamo in grado di visitare. Sono testimoni di altri mondi.
