@NAChristakis Thank you for sharing. In my opinion, prohibiting the use of LLMs to write prose is a discriminatory practice against non-native English speakers.

"Bootstrapping Social Networks: Lessons from B____ky Starter Packs" 👇👇👇

Bureaucracy is killing academia everywhere, it seems..
As universities devote their resources to administrators and bureaucracies, they spend less on research (like most labs, my lab gets no money from my institution's endowment). This is having the untoward effect of driving some terrific scientists away.
