 @43d7c4ea this is good for EU access to the U.K. fusion project, and for U.K. space research. But in many other areas the damage has been done. I work in scientific publishing, and I could see real time the effect of leaving Horizon. The EU was very smart in spending the released cash in southern and Eastern Europe, and we could see more high impact papers coming from e.g. Spain in biomes research and countries like Slovakia in material science. Good for them I say.

 @ca5977db @a86de26d IMO LLMs are better because they have a huge amount of data of text that makes sense, in a way that is pretty readily codified (grammar, orthography). That’s probably why the first successful uses of generative AI were to write scholarly articles. Visual is an order of magnitude harder to make sense.
