The thing about these kinds of Gen AI use cases is that the BBC could have easily made this video before these tools existed - you could do it with actors in makeup, you could do it with traditional VFX.

The fact that you're only doing it now means you only thought it was worth doing once the cost was essentially zero. That is to say, the content's existence has become a tacit acknowledgement of its own worthlessness.

every academic you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Make it worse by asking them how the writing is going

The Shining didn't need ghosts. should have just been a dude who transforms into a homicidal maniac because he has to write a book.

Post-PhD: I’m not sure about the answer or the question

Academics will be like, “I can’t believe they pay me to read and write” and then not read and write

the real body count is how many people you got to read your drafts

[𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 🍃 @charscrawls]

daily reminder. the purpose of the first draft is not to get it right, but to get it written

Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations
