how LLMs change incentives for research - a great talk by @carlbergstrom.com , had to watch in parts, a lot to digest. #institutional_epistemology at its best! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mj3... #philsci

Toward the end of his two-volume Treatise on the Venom of the Viper, published in 1781, the Tuscan naturalist Deluxe Fontana declared: "I have made more than 6000 experiments; I have had more than 4000 animals bit; I have employed upwards of 3000 vipers and may have been deceived; some essential circumstance may have escaped me: I may have neglected some other, not thinking it necessary; my consequences may have been too general, my experiments too few in number. In a word, I may very easily have been mistaken, and it would be almost impossible that I should never have been so in a matter so difficult, so obscure, and likewise so new."

Fontana thinking his 6000+ experiments may not have been enough to feel confident in his conclusions in the 18th century while we expect our singular experiments and their standalone replications to do wonders some 250 years later... (excerpt from the intro of Jutta Schickore's About Experiment)

Oh yes, come on, folks, we can do iiit

Hm what if I write: Most of this proposal was written 2019 and is therefore AI free

Can we get certificates? Academia likes certificates

Das gilt ja schon, sobald die Möglichkeit im Raum steht. Bewirbst du dich auf Alternativen, bist du weniger schlau, belastbar, und geeignet

Nearing 1,000 users on @eurosky.social!!

Anyone can join. You get the exact same features as Bluesky, login the same way, etc. And see all the same posts. So why move to Eurosky? It’s run by a European non-profit, on European servers and bound by European laws (eg GDPR).

Lasst uns mal kompetente Speaker*innen sammeln, die das Thema KI ohne Quatsch (aber gern mit Humor) vermitteln können.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

Scientists: for a new story, I have one big question—>

What is a “good day” in the lab?

I’m looking for epic examples of the best day ever to general criteria for what constitutes a “good day” compared to a nothing-burger day.

Ping me if you have examples to share!

Re-posts appreciated!

Unmasking Academe’s Gilded Boys’ Club The Epstein files reveal an elite, chummy, and venal scholarly network.

I’m quoted quite a bit here so perhaps I’m biased but I feel this is a good run down of what the Epstein files tell us about how power works in academia. with some good commentary from @jessicacalarco.com, too:

Only two days left to submit your abstract for this year's @mathpsych.org meeting. Some things to consider:
1. The conference is in Canada.
2. If you cannot attend in person, there is a virtual track. Consider submitting there! You can pick the track during the submission process.
See you there!

Es gibt KI #WissKomm Speaker, die hauen mehr Falschinformationen raus als ein LLM. Also falls ihr je an euch zweifeln solltet, denkt dran dass solche Leute gebucht und bezahlt werden

Können wir mal drüber reden, wie viel dieses akademische Nomadentum eigentlich so kostet? Also hartes Geld, von den anderen Kosten ganz zu schweigen.

Ich habe Kolleg*innen, die einfach schon 10 Jahre in ihrer Wohnung wohnen und pro Monat 100e € weniger zahlen. #IchbinHanna #ArmeAkademie

Aarhus University is hiring:

Außerdem die Energie die man auf wendet ständig Bewerbungen zu schreiben, anstatt die Forschung gerade im Bereich der Geisteswissenschaften sinnvoll in die Gesellschaft einzubringen 🤷

An interesting experiment in reproducibility: the NanoBubbles project is looking for researchers/labs in nanotechnology who can help with understanding the discrepancy between an widely cited work and its mostly failed replication

You don’t defeat Nazi propaganda by going on Goebbels’s broadcast, you defeat it by storming the beaches of Normandy

Genau so. Ich sollte eigentlich gerade schreiben... Ich mag schreiben nicht so gern... Tja.

Hab mich gerade vertippt und hexhex statt heyhey geschrieben. Mehr muss ich zu diesem Montag nicht sagen.

The Summer School is a 5-day course, designed to foster critical AI literacies and to empower participants to develop ways of resisting or reclaiming AI in their own practices and social context.

20.02. – Tag der sozialen Gerechtigkeit

Soziale Gerechtigkeit ist für uns als Eltern kein abstrakter Begriff – sie bedeutet ganz konkret: gleiche Chancen für alle Kinder. Unabhängig von Herkunft, Einkommen, Religion, Hautfarbe oder Familienform.

💥 Academic freedom - so important!

Please help our research team and take time for their survey:

I did think that even starting to reflect on our own positionality would be a step forward and now I am shook to see that others are yet one step ahead.
Oh if we only talked to other disciplines
