Der gemeinsame Gang auf die Straße, das laut sein, das präsent sein - es ändert also nicht von jetzt auf gleich die Gesellschaft. Demos haben die AfD nicht weggezaubert, auch wird Trump weiter sein Ding machen. Dennoch: Die langfristige Wirkung zivilen Engagements ist nicht zu unterschätzen.

I love this metaphor for having AI take over key tasks like writing summaries, doing literature reviews, etc...

Someone wise on here gave the perfect metaphor. When you’re in the gym, the weights don’t actually need to be moved. The outcome you’re looking for is what changes inside you when you move the weights.

Office is dead... But my documents are still all messed up when someone accidentally opens them 'the wrong way's (i.e. in the app instead of the browser...)
Can we fix this before we make anything "smarter"?

Who are the experts / journalists / researchers you turn to for critical perspectives on AI & the tech world? I created a feed of experts who watch AI developments with a skeptical & critical (but *informed*) POV. I'd love more people to follow it, but I'm also looking to add people - recs welcome!

This is a disgraceful article @thetimes.com Do you not understand that a NATO protected country has already stated ‘they are not for sale’. You are aware the UK is also being threatened with tariffs. We are in NATO!

How much would Greenland cost if Denmark sold it to Trump?
In 1946 the US offered a price of $100 million in gold. It would be worth far more than that today — if it’s available at all

Terrible decision that will damage scientific integrity to the core
DFG erlaubt Einsatz von KI in der Begutachtung.
Wenn wir jetzt noch die AI dazu kriegen, die komplette Forschung zu machen, haben wir den Menschen komplett von der Last des Forschungsprozzeses befreit und er kann sich komplett auf wichtige Dinge wie Reisekostenerstattungsanträge konzentrieren.

This paper is batshit insane. It also (of course) has A TON of bullshit references that do not exist. Hey @springernature.com retract this AI slop and fire the editor that let it pass. There is evidently no review or quality assurance process in place at this journal.

Hey, did you know that Greek lost the phoneme /h/ because of secularism? You see, /h/ intrinsically symbolises the Creator. And hydrogen.

Scholars, please cite yourselves when relevant! You are creating a body of work, a world even, and we want to know where all the pieces are, and how they fit together.
I saw a LinkedIn post making fun of senior scholars for citing themselves, but I've seen academics Columbus entire well developed fields of study and be applauded for it by the AHA, so...?

Does anyone know any writing (broadly defined) that links Cognitive Psychology and eugenics? I'm specifically interested in discussions beyond the obvious (but ofc not less important) IQ/intelligence stuff. I'm thinking, e.g., vision science-y stuff or perception in general

Hi, I am studying library science, the thing everyone claims LLMs are good for.
Spoiler: they aren’t.
I’ll start with a hypothetical based on a thing I have dealt with a thousand times. Person comes in and says, “I don’t remember the title or the author but I know it’s about vampires.”
