OK, here it is: a line in the sand (in @Nature). I am very wary about scientists---including political scientists---embracing/pushing proprietary LLMs. Let's try an open science approach. Hope this take is a useful one. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

I am concerned by reports that @CityofVancouver and @VancouverPD are dismantling the homeless encampment on Hastings Street in Vancouver. I visited the encampment last August and spoke with residents. We consistently heard that moving people puts them at risk. –MJ

Throughout my research I’ve learned a great deal about intentions and why they matter - particularly in the academy. My intention here is simple - to ensure we protect knowledge and spaces, and to support my Indigenous colleagues. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
Opinion: Is the academy a safe place for Indigenous women and our knowledge?

Opinion: Is the academy a safe place for Indigenous women and our knowledge?

Knowledge is, in part, about intention. And with certain academics falsely claiming Indigeneity, our communities’ knowledge is under attack from within
