Remember when academic publishers signed multi-million dollar AI training data deals with big tech and promised great AI-driven transformations to publishing services from looting academic work without notice or consent?

Here's how that's going.
So, @elsevierconnect.bsky.social added an AI question and answer to my article in Computer & Education.

The answers are wrong!
They did not ask permission!
The answers are WRONG!

How is this science?!

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported.

It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.
In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

Als COVID-19 😷 die meisten wissenschaftlichen Konferenzen virtuell werden ließ, haben wir uns entschlossen, ein anderes Format auszuprobieren und ein Konferenzpanel in einen #Podcast umzuwandeln.

Das lief so gut, dass wir nun drei Staffeln lang daran festgehalten haben!

Happy to read this today. Long overdue and a small success towards reuniting Europe! 🇪🇺Europe's social life and economy depends so much on Bulgarians and Romanians working and living abroad for whom car mobililty is a necessity rather than choice. This reduces a little their depriviliging. (1/2)
Romania and Bulgaria will as of Jan. 1 become full members of the Schengen free-travel zone, EU interior ministers agreed today.
Romania and Bulgaria get the Schengen green light
The internal land borders will be lifted as of January.
