Reading AI prose lately reminds me of being an undergraduate and proof-reading dissertations of friends writing under the influence of unprescribed modafinil. It's not *un*grammatical, it's semantically dense, it's impressively abstract. But that very combination is somehow just unpleasant to read.

My first teaching of term is today, so instead I’m out at the @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social picket line at Old College. I’m so angry at how Edinburgh Uni management have handled the past few years, but the mood on the picket is one of hope and solidarity ✊
