The irony

Google just dropped MASSIVE AI upgrades. This will change the way we use technology forever. Here're Top 11 updates from Google you don't want to miss:

I think Elon is unhappy that Wikipedia is not for sale. I hope his campaign to defund us results in lots of donations from people who care about the truth. If Elon wanted to help, he'd be encouraging kind and thoughtful intellectual people he agrees with to engage.

Finally a way to illustrate the wealth of data in taxonomic publications, based on a huge amount of research unknown to anybody but few specialists. Data that is now part of the research data life cycle #openscience #openaccess mc-ekien
