Biologists stopped doing taxonomy by observation and started doing it by evolutionary descent because observation didn't work and understanding the structuring force (natural selection) did. It carved nature at the joints.

I do have a slight suspicion that this getting things into boxes is actually not a big issue and more often a delight in cat taxonomy 😉

Genuinely my first thought was - wow I wonder what it is about felids that makes taxonomy in that group so rewarding...
And then, I did get the joke 😹

Did you know a bunch of mammals, including platypuses which are mammals for some reason (taxonomy = because we decided on a definition involving ear bones), glow under black light? I recommend a non-AI image search for mammals that glow under black light.

Since Aug. 2, the European Commission can enforce general-purpose AI obligations under the AI Act. Maria Federica Martino Lena writes that the EU AI Office is enforcing against definitions it has little power over, and proposes a public taxonomy to change that. buff.ly/L1mzX7n

My professor in office hours sweetly explained that Bloom’s Taxonomy was “just a set of adverbs :)” and i am seeing now that they are in fact just regular verbs

GAIDeT: a practical taxonomy for declaring AI use in research and publishing
Transparency of AI use in academia matters for authors, editors, reviewers, readers and repository moderators. This blog post introduces GAIDeT, a taxonomy for the structured disclosure of Generative AI (GAI) use in research and how it builds trust without adding any extra burden to stakeholders.

Also these were Nerds. Not Dorks. Silicon Valley is all dorks now. Musk, Zuck, Altman, all dorks. Dorks are stupid, unlike Nerds, who are smart. The Jocks are also stupid, but they're popular so don't get affected the same way as The Dorks. Musk is a Dork who convinced Kara Swisher he was a Nerd.
The nerds were nerds (not business types) and were making cool shit just to see if they could. So it had to work if they wanted it to catch on. Now we make excuses for why it's OK that the computer tells teenagers to kill themselves and please give us more money so it won't do that in the future.
