Found one in the wild! Models of the language network in a published paper in a (presumably) predatory journal.

I think I'd be concerned if a patient had four anterior temporal lobes in their lert hemisphere, it might affect their conprehension

pero qué enorme dolor, decepción, traición, Chomsky 😭

La AI le vuela la chapa a mas de uno, sin llegar a ser episodios psicóticos para internación. Todos/as conocemos alguno que de tanto interactuar con la IA (y con poca gente que le diga "no da") se convenció de algo delirante o se cree que está muy capacitado para algo de lo que no tiene ni idea.

Last year I was told by a selection committee for a professor position that my sample lecture was "postgraduate level" (meaning: not clear enough). If otherwise, I'm sure they would have said "not serious enough"

Parece que ✨ se volvió el emoji oficial de "hecho con IA"

Lástima porque me gustaba la estrellita.

More than half of researchers now use AI for peer review — often against guidance A survey of 1,600 academics found that more than 50% have used artificial-intelligence tools while peer reviewing manuscripts.

Just decline the peer review invitation.

What are you people even doing?

Y ya que estamos...recuerden que está abierta la convocatoria para el próximo dossier.

We Need to Talk About Scaffolding A new replication challenges the evidence behind one of education’s core ideas.

I know he was in last week as well but this might be the most important read of the week. An iconic piece of research on scaffolding just failed replication and @carlhendrick.substack.com has all the details and what it might mean here.

We are currently preparing a large scale up of moderators to deal with the big backlog, which has built up to a truly unacceptable size. Again, please accept our apologies, and perhaps also take this as an invitation to join the moderation team? We need all hands on deck. bsky.app/profile/impr...

🌟 This week I'm curating the @weare.rladies.org account! 💜
I’ll be sharing bits and pieces from the R world — things I find interesting, helpful, or just fun to think about.

Come say hi, share what you're up to, or just drop by for some good vibes! 🦄

#WeAreRLadies #RLadies #RStats

Jesica Formoso, Researcher at National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) | MetaDocencia. They say, "I’m currently using R in my research on reading comprehension at CONICET and for survey analysis as Impact Measurement Lead at MetaDocencia, while also participating in the Forwards R Package Development Workshop summer school because I am starting to develop a package for Spanish readability assessment and this is new for me."

This week's #RLadies curator is @jformoso.bsky.social 🥳

Does anyone else find it perpetually annoying that what most folks would consider neural "computation" is Marr's "algorithmic" level, while his *computational* level is really just "what's the goal of this thing anyway?" AKA function.

New conceptual review + tutorial on text embeddings out in #APA_Journals w/ @almogsi. Beginner-friendly, but experts will find spicy new takes as well. Tag a colleague who’s still counting words... #RStats #tidyverse #quanteda

a page from the mentioned book about dreams and their meaning from 1603. the page features the entry: "Bücher sehen oder lesen / Traurigkeit".

Have you dreamed of seeing or reading books recently? Well, according to a German publication about dreams and their meaning from 1603 this means: future sadness and depression.

How is high-level visual cortex organized?

In a new preprint with @martinhebart.bsky.social & @kathadobs.bsky.social, we show that category-selective areas encode a rich, multidimensional feature space 🌈

Y los investigadores tenemos que pasar comité de ética, pedir consentimientos... tendríamos que hacer un chatbot y listo!

Senators Demand Meta Answer For AI Chatbots Posing as Licensed Therapists Exclusive: Following 404 Media’s investigation into Meta's AI Studio chatbots that pose as therapists and provided license numbers and credentials, four senators urged Meta to limit "blatant deception...

En Instagram podés hacer un chatbot IA con la plantilla "terapeuta". Te decía dónde estudió y un no. de matrícula (todo falso, obvio, ni siquiera es persona). Le pusieron un "guardrail" pero igual no te dice que es un chatbot

Needed: An app that automatically extracts references from student papers (or authors who use references) and checks whether they exist or not, and whether the DOI matches the title and authors listed in the paper.

No AI (a prerequisite), but a standard database(s) search.

Political expression of academics on Twitter - Nature Human Behaviour An analysis of nearly 100,000 academics on Twitter reveals strong progressive stances on climate and social issues, driven by a small, vocal subset. The study highlights potential gaps between academi...

An analysis of ~100,000 academics finds that a small subset of academics generate majority of social media posts.

That vocal minority can skew how the public—and even journalists—infer “academic consensus,” potentially fueling false perceptions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Si esto es el futuro de la educación, no veo la hora de que me reemplace una IA

Teachers Are Not OK AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

"ChatGPT isn't its own, unique problem. It's a symptom of a totalizing cultural paradigm in which passive consumption and regurgitation of content becomes the status quo. It's a symptom of the world of TikTok and Instagram and perfecting your algorithm"
