In my #pyconAU keynote I referred to LLMs as "Regurgitative AI" rather than generative. Someone in the discord then commended that "regurgitative AI sounds like a horrific disease" and... you know... if the shoe fits...

The welcoming and goodbye-ing talks at #PyConAU have framed this so well - the quote that stuck with me today was something like "We don't wear masks because we like them, we wear them for people we like" - emphasising speakers, volunteers, organisers, and attendees who only can thus attend.
conference organizers asking "how can we make our conference more accessible and diverse:"
mask wearing enforced + good air filtration
minorities (disabled, queer, people of color) are disproportionately affected by (long) covid, if your event is not covid safe it will not be accessible or diverse
