Kulturkampf von rechts:
1. Vermeintliches Verbot kritisieren, weil Verbote doof.
2. Selber anderes, echtes Verbot aufstellen.
3. Ausblenden, dass man Verbote gar nicht doof findet, solange sie eigener Agenda dienen.
4. Mit Falschbehauptung, zu wenig sei erlaubt, begründen, immer weniger zu erlauben.

My plea to parents is to take your children to libraries as much as your complicated parenting schedule can possibly allow. Help your children understand that this resource belongs to them and to the community, and that anyone attempting to take it away is stealing from them.

Ein Autor soll einen Artikel schreiben, um dort Bücher zu empfehlen. Der gedruckte Artikel erscheint. Blöd nur: die Bücher gibt es gar nicht - ChatGPT hat sie "halluziniert". Niemand hat es überprüft.

Philosophisch interessant, gesellschaftlich besorgniserregend, journalistisch ein Skandal.

Ja, der Canva-Generator ist leider wirklich Murks.

Für den Workshop zu KI-Bildern in der Litwiss-Lehre, den ich 2023 an der Uni Göttingen geleitet habe (darum der Canva-Link mit der Präsentation), habe ich mir eine Midjourney-Lizenz gegönnt -- das hat (leider?) wirklich Spaß gemacht 😊

Ich sehe KI mittlerweile auch kritischer (aus Umweltgründen), aber ich glaube immer noch, dass gerade Bilder ein großes kreatives Potenzial für die Lehre bieten (gerade wenn sie mit den LLMs generiert wurden, die schöne Bilder kreieren), vgl. z.B. folgende Ideen: www.canva.com/design/DAGna... 😊

Can Germany rein in its academic bullying problem? Researchers and administrators are exploring ways to restructure a rigid hierarchy that can breed power abuses.

“There is far too much power in the hands of professors in the German system,” says @leising.bsky.social.

My latest @nature.com story digs into efforts to tackle the entrenched structural heirarchy that enables academic bullies.

Das dt. Wissenschaftssystem setzt auf künstliche Verknappung von Wertschätzung: Leute kleinhalten. Ihnen suggerieren, nichts zu können. Nahelegen, sie müssten dankbar sein, sogar für miese Bedingungen. So lassen wir uns alles Mögliche gefallen. Deshalb: Lobt einander, was das Zeug hält! #IchBinHanna

Medieval manuscript image of two people holding a large triangle between them, with an orange section on top, then a gold section, and the largest section is white with black spots.

So I'm curious... I know this image from the De Brailes Psalter represents Gemini, but why are the twins holding a pizza? What is that supposed to be? (New College, Oxford, MS 322, f. 3r) #MedievalSky

Frauen wurden und werden in der Wissenschaft systematisch benachteiligt. Und zwar so, dass es dafür einen eigenen Namen gibt: Der Matilda-Effekt. In der letzten Folge dieser Staffel geben wir 3 historischen Persönlichkeiten und ihren Entdeckungen eine Bühne. Schaut rein! 🙂
