I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Delighted and honoured to be elected a Fellow. I am also thinking of earlier generations of women in my field without comparable recognition. Not even Susan Strange was elected an FBA. Their scholarship deserves to be remembered, read and honoured, and I receive this recognition with them in mind.

Here is work showing some of this effect. It is important, however, to see the form that this takes ‘in the wild’ in terms of the erasure of actual women-led scholarship in LLMs by multiple modalities, so I intend to run some bibliometrics myself and put the results out. arxiv.org/abs/2508.02740

Reports of domestic violence increase by 26% when England play a World Cup match, and 38% if they lose.  With England’s first World Cup game just around the corner, we want to highlight the support available to anyone experiencing domestic violence.
