I think this is all true, but I also think about the number of people who have assumed my PhD (in history) took a long time because it takes that long to memorize all those facts. They eschew skill building, of course, but also confuse knowledge accumulation/regurgitation with knowledge production.

We are seeking a PhD candidate with an interest in East–West European relations (1970s–1990s) to work with me and Aline Sierp. The deadline for submitting proposals is 28 September.

"Haide Bre" cafe, Timisoara (2011)

Haide bre! According to several dictionaries, the pan-Balkan salutation 'bre' comes from Balkan Turkish 'bre' < Greek μπρέ < contraction of Byzantine Greek μωρέ, vocative of μωρός ‚stupid’. If this is true, then ‚bre’ has the same etymology as English ‚moron’.

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.

This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

I have a hot take.

Getting a PhD has nothing to do with intelligence (if intelligence is even a thing), so "PhD levels of intelligence" is meaningless.

Getting a PhD is about tenacity + curiosity, two things LLMs don't have even if you accept they are anthropomorphic.

I love the fact that he’s arguably the biggest rock star in ex-Yu and still dresses like my tetak.
