In other words:
1. The purported revolution of AI and LLMs on learning is, at best, taken with a bucket of salt. Many studies show negative effects.
2. Neither policies nor curricula should be designed in favour of them.
3. Facebook effect: Research suffers from echo chamber of group self-cites.

I love all the music making this time of year but whew, it can be a bit hectic.
Awoke from a stress dream: wrong mouthpiece, wrong instrument, wrong music 😬
Guess that’s my cue that I’m glad the season is over for this year and I get a little breather.
Happy holidays, everyone 💜🎶

Don't ignore the crisis at the British Library In 2023, one of the world's most significant libraries was hit with a cyber attack that destroyed multiple systems, requiring that its entire technology infrastructure be rebuilt and costing millions. Staff at the British Library say that the attack undermined the working environment, and more than 300 are on strike. The Library's chief executive has resigned, less than a year after she took the position. And some material is still not available to scholars. "Libraries and archives are the labs of humanities and social science scholars, and history is not possible without them," argues Hetan Shah, the chief executive of The British Academy. "The nation rightly values scientific infrastructure, but it pays extraordinarily little attention to what is happening at our national library." Museums Journal | 3 min read & City AM | 4 min read

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Vaccine better than COVID for kids’ hearts
A huge study of health data in England has found the risk of serious, but very rare, vascular and inflammatory conditions in children was lower after COVID-19 vaccination than after being infected with the disease itself.

Screenshots of the Fellou interface while its browser agent is in progress on a research task prompted by the user. (A) and (B) represent windows with multiple browser tabs open to searches. Each tab in these windows shows rapidly changing thumbnails of the websites, articles (including PDFs), and other materials that Fellou is currently searching and analyzing. A panel at the right of each window shows a partial view of the kinds of sources and topics Fellou has planned to search in response to the user’s prompt. (C) is a window showing a periodically refreshed report on progress so far. In this window, the panel at the left shows in separate blocks some of the kinds of sources and topics that Fellou plans to search. The wide panel in the center summarizes results. And the panel at the right shows in blocks the specific sources and key phrases currently being “deep searched.”
