News outlets have picked up on Oceangate’s ‘toxic safety culture’. I’ve not read the report yet but there seems to be mention of issues with authority, structure, training, procedures, etc. Formality would have saved those peoples’ lives - lack of seriousness about organisation can be lethal

Is ChatGPT killing higher education?
AI is creating a cheating utopia. Universities don’t know how to respond.
In 2023, I hosted an @isa-sociology.org panel (see: www.linkedin.com/posts/dpieri...) emphasising cases in which organisations use new technologies and break the institutions from which they emerged. Two years on: www.vox.com/the-gray-are... (Sean Illing @vox.com & James Walsh @intelligencer.com)

Why do lawyers keep using ChatGPT?
One attorney called it a ‘super search engine.’
Conditions of possibility for this? “… not a substitute for lawyers’ judgment, not a substitute for the expertise that lawyers bring to the table, but in order to supplement what lawyers do and enable them to do their work better, faster, and cheaper,” Perlman said. www.theverge.com/policy/67737...

The @financialtimes.com editorial board is recommending the kind of strategic response I had in mind: “The UK needs a large-scale campaign with a compelling narrative about its attractions for carrying out research — funded adequately in the forthcoming spending review”. Research AND teaching!

The attacks on US universities offer UK universities a strategic opportunity to retain British students rethinking US study - finally someone said it (thanks @chrisblackhurst.bsky.social)! Also, why not also attract disillusioned US students? The UK can be an appealing destination for UK/US students

Not long ago, some co-authors and I had a paper rejected from a social studies of finance conference because our research context was not banking and finance. Our assumption had been that we can learn from studying what happens when the ways of finance enter other organisational contexts 🤔
