Intriguing to see where in the BlueSky universe CA users sit, and pleasing that the journal is at the heart of the community.

PubPeer contributors do an admirable job of trying to keep science honest.

In her latest blogpost, @deevybee.bsky.social notes "58% of highly-cited papers that were annulled between 2021-2025 had prior PubPeer comments".

Professional societies keep beclowning themselves buying into a lie about what an LLM "summary" is. They are inherently counterfeit: not an epistemic product of the ideas in the source, but summary-shaped text linguistically based on *other* works (in the training corpus) that use related language.

Call for Papers: We are pleased to invite abstracts for the conference Sociolinguistics and AI which will take place at the University of Copenhagen between 19 and 21 August next year. The conference is an in-person event. As we write this, in November 2025, three years after ChatGPT was made available to the general public, ‘AI’ seems to be everywhere. Strong in connotation, weak in denotation, and deeply entangled in contradictory discourses of desire and anxiety, profit and prejudic

Independent scholar Wayne Martin Mellinger uses Steve Clayman's decades of studying US new interviews, debates (etc) to:
"argue for an activist research agenda that deploys conversation-analytic insights for democratic defense rather than mere description of democratic collapse."

Democracy under threat via the "empirically observable breakdown in the interactional practices that constitute democratic accountability between media and state power."
