I toot to comment on one important aspect of the #APS and the #KoolAid addled ideas about the adoption of #GenAI #SlopMachiine in the APS.

There is a great chasm between the credibility of loyal Australian public servants who go about their daily tasks and the absolute crap dished out by most ot the #SES-ranked ‘contracted staff’ in the most senior positions of the APS.

Treat anything said by an SES with a grain of salt as most of it will be ‘politically motivated’ with no little ‘self interest’ being foremost. It has been so ever since the SES scheme (rort in my book) has been in operation.

Update. The American Physical Society (#APS, @apsphysics) is running a survey on the impact of cuts to US science #funding. Please take it if you're affected or likely to be affected.

"This survey collects stories showcasing the transformative positive impact of #NSF, #NIST, #DOE, #NASA, and #DOD-funded research and programs as well as what would be lost if support for basic research evaporates. You can document your experiences and share how recent executive actions have impacted you. Individual stories will be only be used publicly with permission or when fully anonymized."
