Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)
New on the Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 newsletter: @deccamuldowney.bsky.social and I write about OpenAI's transparent attempt to shift accountability.

OpenAI Tries to Shift Responsibility to Users
OpenAI is trying to shift the blame for bad legal and medical advice from its chatbot away from the company and onto users. We agree that no chatbot should be used for medical or legal advice.

Really elucidates the New York Times "style" that we've seen in countless cases (particularly in the case of Mamdani and trans-related issues) where they try to hide their obvious bias behind a screen of both-sides-ism that ignores the fact that only one side really offers quality evidence.

"The advent of large language models have made this type of content relatively easy to churn out on demand, and the majority of the review articles we receive are little more than annotated bibliographies, with no substantial discussion of open research issues."
arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.
This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.
Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

I think that the ethnographic work that anthropologists are doing is important, but I can't help noticing that it often seems to boil down to "vibes", and that hurts the discipline. Open data is a way to push back against that impression, and the strong opposition to it is counterproductive imho.

A couple weeks ago, as hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets in what may have been the largest single day of protest in U.S. history, the President of the United States responded by… posting a video of himself literally dumping shit on citizens. Not a policy response. Not an attempt at dialogue. Not even a coherent defense of whatever decisions prompted the protests.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

If progress depends on scholars being actively interested in the infrastructures of publishing, we need some really big thinking on what might motivate that interest, bc it doesn't seem that scholars find these infrastructures inherently interesting.
Even though it was not the focus of the webinar what stuck with me is the need for scholars to get more actively interested in the infrastructures of academic/scientific publishing including, in specific, #openaccess and why it matters beyond mandates and research assessment requirements.
