Very informative post. I recommend that everyone in #scholarly #publishing read it. Please share it widely.
I've written in the @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social today about the project I'm launching to determine how the scholarly and medical communication sectors (publishers, platforms, repositories, websites in general!) can / should respond to the threat of zero-click search 👇

Every time I see a video about a US politician mad about demands ICE be held accountable for holding the people of Minnesota hostage, including warrants for arrests, I remember there is no behavior that will protect someone from violent arrest by a masked officer in an unmarked car right now.

“The people who are now demanding that AI be used in schools would probably have said after the discovery of X-rays: ‘Let's put a powerful X-ray machine in every classroom so the children can learn about their bones! And it'll keep them nice & warm too!’”
Die Leute, die jetzt fordern, man müsse AI unbedingt an den Schulen einsetzen, hätten wohl nach der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlung auch gesagt: "Lasst uns in jedes Klassenzimmer ein mächtiges Röntgengerät stellen, damit die Kinder über ihre Knochen lernen können! Und schön warm wird ihnen auch!"

I edited some of the published research on AI in healthcare settings. There is some stuff that the evidence suggests it is legitimately good at (I recall one paper finding that it more reliably found small tumours than radiographers did), but "AI can do medicine" is too broad a claim to be correct.
usually medicine requires you to publish research and meet a bunch of boring scientific evidentiary standards before you can bring something to clinical practice, but I guess AI is a very special boy

They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.

Otherwise known as Concentration Camps.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
