Why choose a commercial entity that just went closed-source when a non-commercial one that builds in the open exists? (namely @eurosky.social) Didn't you just (exactly 2 weeks ago) reaffirm your support to open source “for Europe’s technological sovereignty”?
One is non-profit, the other for-profit, too. EU picked for-profit over non-profit social good, that was recommended to them by the JRC report I just shared.
Moved my @bsky.app account over to @eurosky.social using the service move.eurosky.tech - everything stays the same (followers/posts/etc) just now my data is stored in the EU & not the USA! Super easy to do and with better protections! I am slowly moving all my services away from US-based providers.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband
When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

A thing loosely related to my research but with high personal significance, since I grew up next to the Odra (ger. Oder) river. Though these are recommendations for policy makers in a specific case, it is an interesting read on challenges facing European rivers. www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/afte...

Co-migration of hundreds of microbial species over metres drives selection and promotes non-motile hitchhikers - Nature Communications
Migration of microbial communities is poorly understood. Here, the authors use a meso-tube assay to show that hundreds of microbial species co-migrate over metre scales via chemotaxis, which restructu...
