Isn’t it part of the us immigration process to disavow any affiliation with the Nazi party? Or is it the citizenship test?

Could Artificial Intelligence Help Catalog Thousands of Digital Library Books? An Interview with Abigail Potter and Caroline Saccucci | The Signal Catalog records are key to storing and finding digital library materials. As the volume of digital materials continues to grow rapidly, the Library of Congress is exploring whether AI can help catalog...

I’ll look for it. In the meantime, there’s a report on the LOC blog about their own experiment using AI for cataloging. Not a clear refutation but it does acknowledge that the tech is not (currently) sufficient.

I had the same reaction as I listened to your colleague Windsor Johnson’s story a couple of weeks ago about her AI β€œdating” experience

I can’t believe a journalist can even utter the words AI Dating. You aren’t β€œdating,” friend, you’re just typing words into a computer.

Oh yes, he bought his books in bulk for his book tours/signings, which kept him on the bestseller list for weeks and weeks.

I already heard that justification on npr this morning, although I don’t know if that was their justification or Trump’s

Here’s what I don’t understand: The cost of most colleges is exorbitant, and students would be fine if their professors outsourced everything to AI? My students regularly comment that I’m one of the few profs that gives real feedback on their work. But unis think they want professorbots??

I’m currently reading the new book by Charlotte McConaghy, β€œWild Dark Shore.” Like with her last book, you can feel the anguish in the pages. If you’re into that 🫣

That’s awfully dystopian. And, as with all the AI discourse, the underlying assumption is that removing humans from decision-making facilitates better decisions.

My university (San Jose State) is going full steam ahead and when I raised objections in a req prof dev session, the mod was like, β€œI totally get it. Now let’s talk about how to craft good prompts.”

Maybe funding should be pulled from Trump rallies until they promise to protect participants from antisemitic hate speech
