Wiley set to earn $44m from AI rights deals, confirms “no opt-out" for authors The US publisher is the latest to capitalise on deals to give tech firms access to its authors’ content to train their Large Language Models (LLMs).

Everybody makes money out of academic authors except the authors...News.

Wiley is the latest academic publisher to reach a multi-million deal to allow access to its content to AI developers, with no opt out, let alone payment, for the authors who created that content.

Hier de bijbehorende illustratie. Letten jullie op, beste journalisten, debatleiders en talkshowhosts?

This is quite something... 🤯

Fella tried to rush me and said 'C'mon, the clock is ticking...' but that's not an urgent matter to me. Clocks are supposed to do that. Stick around and you might even experience a tock or two.

Doc: Sounds like you’ve got Tom Jones Syndrome

Patient: Is it common?

Doc: It's not unusual...

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away.

A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

Je suis triste ce soir d’apprendre la mort de Michel Callon, que j’ai commencé à lire au mitan des années 1980, en même temps que son ami et co-auteur Bruno Latour. Quel choc ce fut, en 1986, de lire son article (devenu célèbre) sur les coquilles Saint-Jacques dans la baie de Saint-Brieuc…

This is a stupid argument.

ZKPs aren’t bad because they’re not confidential enough.

Worry instead because people can ask you to prove anything, at any time, to provision or deny you access to services, while saying ‘privacy is solved’! Rules, not disclosure, are the risk.

Do better @eff.org.

Vaak wordt gedaan alsof een stijging van defensie-uitgaven ten koste gaat van de sociale zekerheid. Niemand lijkt te beseffen dat België 17,9 miljard uitgeeft aan subsidies voor fossiele brandstoffen, die de EU "economisch inefficiënt" noemt....

Investigating ✨hyped✨ technologies means much more than just ‘debunking’ - this is what the amazing range of presenters at the critical hype studies panel at STS Italia 2025 showed

They also made a very kind audience for my first time presenting my research at @sociodigfutures.bsky.social
