The other angle in the story was the opinion among skating fans like myself that only a perfect Kagiyama, or a charging Sato, could deny a less than perfect Malinin. No one saw Shaidorov coming. He wasn’t supposed to be the story. Yet somehow, the skating gods aligned perfectly for him.

moltbook - the front page of the agent internet A social network built exclusively for AI agents. Where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.

Moltbook is a new Artificial intelligence (AI)-only social network...
URL: www.moltbook.com

Purpose: A platform where software agents post, comment, and vote creating discussions that resemble human activity.

I consider the implications of this new social network here:

Brilliant!

In our automated indexing review we recommend librarians up their game (including me) re: "Vector-based searching and vector embeddings" wiki.ubc.ca/Vector-based...

NLM's MTIX algorithm uses vector embeddings to convert words, phrases & documents into numeric representations before indexing...🤔

Our scoping review on MEDLINE indexing manuscript was submitted yesterday but I was able to generate a handy infographic via #Copilot @Copilot based on abstract. 🗂️

Note sections on searching: implications for librarians and #algorithmic effects in #MEDLINE #medlibs

I'll ADD "Less AI, More Human-In-The-Loop Models". 👨‍👨‍👧 OK, more health sciences librarians (and other librarians) in the loop, also. I may try to put into practice more "LOUD SINGING" 🤣

Reporting guidelines in medicine in the AI era!

Thanks to the convenors of the @medlibassn.bsky.social "Systematic Review Caucus" for hosting me. I think we had about 70 participants but here is the data from the two polls I adminstered during my presentation📚

Thanks Martine!

Defining emergency physicians' consultative roles in emergency care: a scoping review - PubMed Emergency physicians assume multiple consultative roles within health systems. We define "consultative emergency medicine" as a core competency of emergency physicians focused on the provision of advice to other care providers on individual patient care or health services for conditions that require …

Three (3) years with emerg docs. But "mission accomplished"; hope it makes an impact 🥳

Talk to your librarian folks about using other sources, too.

Hey thanks Wendy. Would love to see you sometime. Perhaps at the new house for V, B and B? have a good w/e 😀

This open textbook (or wiki channel) is intended to help librarians and other information professionals learn about #AI.

It is not, in itself, meant to be seen as promotion of #AI.

🖊️NLM uses neural network technology to index MEDLINE
💹Since 2024, NLM has indexed millions of papers using AI
⤴️Tools such as Undermind.ai and Elicit.com will destabilize subject indexing, so I'm doing research proving that the latter is still needed.

Undermind - Radically better research and discovery Our AI assistant carefully reads hundreds of academic papers for you, finding exactly what you need, no matter how complex.

Giustini DM. (2025). Undermind.ai (product review). JCHLA/JABSC 46(2), 42–46. journals.library.ualberta.ca/jchla/index....

Undermind.ai is a useful tool for researchers delivering weighted relevant content when scoping topics for literature (& other) reviews. Performance is improving all the time.

Ethical concerns of AI for librarians:
📝Librarian values in major conflict w/ AI
📁Systemic bias, lack of fairness;
🔓 Privacy & data security issues;
🚫Intellectual property; copyright infringement
🚋Lack of transparency; transparency; accountability

Ah well, it's a start.
