Trump is throwing trumptum

What’s the deal with academic “lightning talks” that last 10 minutes no time for questions? Where are we rushing? Why are we packing so much into so little time in a conference? I prefer talks that last 30-40 minutes plus a round of questions. We need time to digest, reflect, and discuss.

Thank you for the essay recommendation! I also think it’s an interesting philosophical discussion but it is so tired as an argument.

If I hear the Socrates against writing joke used to justify the proliferation of AI one more time … 😈

We are about to be flooded with AI slop everywhere.

My native language doesn’t have articles (a, the), and I will probably never learn to use them correctly in English. I know the rules, I just can’t seem to be able to apply them.

This movie completely is a point of view of a white upper class man. I also didn’t understand what message about revolutionaries he planned to convey.

Are you even a swiftie if you don’t hate the new album for two days only to start loving it later?

Checked academic job listings today and decided to spare more from my current salary. Looks like high time to get some new skills.

Are we only just discovering that the world is complex and fundamentally unfair?:)

This morning thoughts are sponsored by random (Russian?) drones stopping flight traffic over Copenhagen last night. Are we already in the war or do we have a few months (years) of doing our silly little jobs before the shit hits the fan? Hard to say.

Were you held at gunpoint?

And it’s extra nice to win 😊

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

Omg yes, that

Anybody else’s brain doesn’t understand the concept of doing something in advance?

Anything but letting immigrants in

Those “threats” cancel each other when one is not a racist

An observation from recent conferences: researchers should be more ashamed of using AI-generated illustrations in their presentations.

The paradox of GenAI is that it feels useful only if you don’t know much about the subject. The moment you start checking it, you realize it is completely useless. It is actually faster to do work without it.

Funny part about academia is that you can’t really get mad at your job application rejection because they most likely hired one of your friends.

The first thing I do as a reviewer now is checking whether all references are real. I perceive it as a shortcut, as it gives a good idea of the overall quality of the submission and integrity of the researcher.

The biggest choice we have to make in life is between not having to prepare dinner every day and owning a home.

No. But you know who can and does?

Just voted in the Norwegian national elections for the first time (got my citizenship in 2022). It’s pretty great to feel that your vote counts, to read all the parties’ programs, to compare policy suggestions. Democracy takes a lot of mental work, but it is very empowering to have a voice.

The problem is Putin might be interested in just prolonging the war rather than winning it. Because then he’ll need a new target and more resources. For now he can slowly milk the country while staying in power.

Holy fuck.

Trump is treating this war criminal like he's Epstein.

My planning horizon is three months at best

While I was on a holiday in Norway, my first article from the postdoc project ABSENCE was published in Philosophy and Technology. Here I discuss the potential application of absence-based inference in algorithmic decision-making.
