Great news! Proud alumni here.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

The comic that got us demonetised on Facebook back in August. (We’re no longer on Facebook).

Please stop saying "rolled back diversity goals" and start saying "the company capitulated to a segregationist movement."

Trying to tie up some loose ends before a Christmas break. Just submitted my second review of the day. Email inbox is in decent shape. An AOM proposal still needs some work. Large amounts of coffee are being consumed.

Important perspectives on the work and workers that happens behind the AI models and many other technologies many of us take for granted: methodslab.weizenbaum-institut.de/2024/12/04/s... @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social

Highly recommend Jana's book, thoughtful and diligent fieldwork and a breeze to read (I can imagine this working quite nicely for a UG/PG elective).

I appreciate the concern of my friends and family back home, many of whom have this morning shared with me this story of 'Guinness running out'. www.hs.fi/maailma/art-...

This seems like a fascinating read, the e-book is open access as well! www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/how...

I decided to give ChatGPT a try, to see what all the fuss is about. Its responses were staggeringly vivid and realistic.

But there was something slightly off too. The uncanny valley of prose. I couldn't put my finger on it until I read this passage from Soul Music (Terry Pratchett, Discworld #16).

Huge congratulations to all our graduates joining us on campus this week! 🎓 🎉

Proud to celebrate the Finnish independence day in Liverpool today! Despite pesky internet rumours, I can confirm my home country does and has indeed existed for 107 years now.

And yes, I did got to sauna this morning (at the wonderful Wyld on the docks).

Question to fellow management/orgs scholars: How many co-authors on a paper is 'too many'? Question prompted by a paper I saw today with nine co-authors.

Please someone translate this to English! 🙏

I hope Bluesky addresses this quickly. Unfortunately, at least the comms line resembles Big Tech: "Bluesky did not immediately respond to request for comment. www.ft.com/content/9083...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:

Openness, transparency, and QUAL! What a way to kick of 2025 this will be.

For any organizational researchers migrating to Bluesky, here is a starter pack to help us find each other. Will update, when I find more folks on here.
