"it's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me". I think perhaps William of Wykeham put that a little more succinctly 650 or so years ago...."manners makyth man".

Per, could you take a look at this pipit from Oman today and tell me what you think? Call definitely not Richard's - "chep.....chep".

The large pipit from today on the
@naturetrek.bsky.social
Oman tour. It will need some further analysis, effort and reading, and I would welcome informed comment (only call was a "chep...chep"), but we're thinking quite strongly that it's a Blyth's Pipit, which is a major rarity in Oman.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
