Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

On my transcontinental flight, I read two books about Latinx Activism recommended by a colleague for my upcoming VECINA class: Brown Church and Awaiting their Feast.
My brain is now done for work so you get the benefit of the quick synopsis and my whole hearted recommendation! 1/4

New from me for @science.org: A major planetary science conference will require submitted abstracts to comply with Trump's anti-DEI executive orders.
This conference, LPSC, is a big deal. It's been running since 1970 and is one of the biggest planetary science conferences out there. 🧪🔭

‘This is censorship.’ Conference requires abstracts to comply with Trump anti-DEI order

Our book was highlighted today!! Crowdsourced advice from lots of people. It's like having several mentors. Great for high school students thinking about majoring as well as all levels of Undergraduate.

How was my day?
I got to talk about Bad Bunny and the Superbowl in my @callingbullshit.bsky.social class and students graded a tiktok/reel that was someone refutating the claims that Bad Bunny is a bad choice for American football.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

Just started this book. I assigned it to my first year seminar class. It is 🔥. I felt like I was watching a Netflix docudrama in my head. It really pokes and prods at motivations, economies, colonialism, ethics, alignment, -isms, and the cultures of tech and shaping tech. #HumanizingSTEM
Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.

So I'm by Vancouver Airport tonight. Got a flight back east super early in the AM. Apparently, Richmond is known for Asian food options. Is it taboo to get Korean BBQ as a solo? Or should I get late afternoon dim sum for dinner before they close? Choices!! Other votes?
