I love eating salmon but I always wonder if I should just buy wild salmon. Luckily, I have Angelisa Osmond's @dalopenthink.bsky.social post to help me. From @dalhousie.bsky.social Faculty of Agriculture, she knows her fish!

Whether it’s wild or farmed, both options are packed with nutrients that support your brain, heart, and overall health. Learn more about wild vs farmed fish in OpenThinker Angelisa Osmond's April blog post: blogs.dal.ca/openthink/re...

I wish I knew more about AI. That's why I love reading the posts from @dalopenthink.bsky.social and @domenicrosati.bsky.social I like the idea of preventing AI from being trained to do harm. I like it very much.

Like DVD’s, iPhone’s and Netflix streams, artificial intelligence can be locked. Not so that the AI can’t be copied and distributed but so that it cannot be trained for harmful and high-risk tasks. Learn more with OpenThinker @domenicrosati.bsky.social : buff.ly/7zr9dMd

Immigration has become a hot topic now. Its hard to understand the complexities but Patricia from @dalopenthink.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social breaks it down for us.

OpenThink@dalopenthink.bsky.social · last yr.

Human migration isn’t just about choosing a destination—it’s driven by complex reasons that go far beyond simple labels. While many view it as either voluntary or forced, the reality often lies somewhere in between. Explore these nuanced differences with Patricia PDBA: blogs.dal.ca/openthink/th...

What IS the Paris Agreement? And why should we care? Loveth Ovedje, from @dalhousieu.bsky.social and @schulichlaw.bsky.social unpacks whether or not it can help with #climateAction She offers a #LegalPerspective on #climatelaw. From @dalopenthink.bsky.social

OpenThink@dalopenthink.bsky.social · last yr.

Ten years on, is the Paris Agreement just a “gentlemen’s agreement,” or does it have legal teeth? Learn more in OpenThinker Loveth Ovedje’s latest blog post: blogs.dal.ca/openthink/th... #ClimateLaw #ParisAgreement #ClimateAction #OpenThink #LegalPerspective

Did you know that training a single Large Language Model can use as much energy as over 70,000 homes in a day?! 🤯 Learn more from Mohammad as he breaks down the surprising energy demands of AI and why it matters: blogs.dal.ca/openthink/th... #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #Energy #LLM

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD@greenleejw.bsky.social · last yr.

Eels! In! Writing! Before 1700, eels in English literature mostly appeared as metaphors or aphorisms: - proud as an eel - can't hide an eel in a sack - like men stomping after eels But after 1700, they mostly show up in science & nature writing. "Eels are elusive fish." 1/2 🗃️🧪

Meme. Photograph of an eel under water, along a sandy bottom. The eel is yellow, and small The sand is yellow, and eel blends in. You are seeing the eel in quasi-profile; it is pointed towards your right, as if you had pointing to an interesting hot air balloon on the horizon. But it's eye is trained on you, as if you were talking. The eel's expression is dubious, and possibly worried. To extend the metaphor, imagine that you were telling a made-up story about the time you captained a hot air balloon across the Sahara as part of a race from Milan to the Seychelles that required you to use 18 different forms of transportation, 2 of them at the same time. The hot air balloon was powered by your efforts on a stationary bike. This is a made up story, but you are telling it with enthusiasm and wild hand gestures. You are IN TO IT. Now...imagine a listener's expression. That's what the eel looks like. Except, you know, an eel. Meme text reads: "Either I'm like a simile Or I'm a metaphor"
