Preliminary Evidence Linking Open Science to Research Integrity - The Scholarly Kitchen
Preliminary Evidence Linking Open Science to Research Integrity - The Scholarly Kitchen
Is open scholarship an honest signal of researcher integrity? Today's post presents preliminary evidence that data and code sharing, preprinting, and other open behaviors are indeed less common in papermill articles.

When AI “hallucinates,” what’s really happening between the lines of code? Scholar @shirachess.bsky.social compares AI to a dybbuk — a trapped spirit waiting to escape. Silicon Valley’s own myths only fuel the unease:
A Demon in a Box? Unspooling the Dark Mythology of AI
Tech titans keep imbuing AI with spiritual significance. The question is whether they’re building a savior — or a world-eating leviathan.

"A complex system, once set in motion, is hard to change. Its inertia is greater than the sum of all moving parts. And a city is a complex system."
A City Cast in Concrete, Trapped Under Unbearable Heat
Unchecked development has turned Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo into an unlivable urban nightmare. But solutions exist to lift it out of climate catastrophe.

AI may have killed the college essay, but grading ideas still matters. David Weinberger says educators should assess student dialogue with LLMs, which can challenge thinking, test claims, and help students build confidence in critical inquiry: thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/ai-can-teach...
Screenshot of a headline and subtitle that reads "AI Can Teach Our Students the Art of Dialogue: The same technology that's ruining essay writing as a pedagogical tool can help students learn how to reason via conversations." David Weinberger is credited as the author.

Guest Post - The Ghost in the Machine: Why Generative AI is a Crisis of Authorship, Not Just a Tool - The Scholarly Kitchen
Today's guest author raises the question of whether a researcher submitting an article that was significantly drafted by an LLM without clear disclosure is effectively engaging in a contemporary form of ghost authorship.

"It seems like every few years, you could write a whole new book on gravity."

James Riordon, author of "Crush: Close Encounters with Gravity," recommends his favorite books on this peculiar force—from the equations needed to understand it, to a funny book about what it's like to live without it:
Gravity
Since the 17th century, we've been aware that the force that causes apples to fall from a tree is the same force that holds the planets in the sky, but we still don't know everything there is to know…

What should space tourists expect to happen to them during a journey to an orbiting space station, the Moon, or Mars? In "Becoming Martian," out Feb. 17th, @scottsolomon.bsky.social explores how humanity’s migration into space will change our bodies and our minds: mitpress.mit.edu/978026205151...
An endorsement of Becoming Martian by Kelly Weinersmith, co-author of A City on Mars, against an image of the surface of Mars. The endorsement reads "Solomon is an explorer, storyteller, and particularly gifted explainer of evolutionary biology. So, naturally, Becoming Martian is a fascinating and insightful look at our species' past, present, and interplanetary future!"
