And young people and adults. It's not only children who get repeatedly infected in classrooms.

It's gaslighting.

It's a relief after all the migrant-baiting to see a Labour government doing something, however limited, to shift fiscal policy in the right direction

AI Scams Are the Point

Propaganda and deceit are a feature of AI, not its downfall.

Very nice.

Can we have billboards with this everywhere please. And tote bags.

Yes, definitely. This idea of ultra concentration and specialisation is naive about the way that research is done and how we achieve good outcomes from it.

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 12h

Nothing beats getting your research on knowledge monopolies cited in a paywalled book chapter so one can't even see how was one cited without paying or having access via a library (I may have access via my library- that is not the point so please don't offer).

We got a wee citation here: "Decolonising History Beyond the Curriculum: Student Participation and the Local Lens Towards a 'Reparative History'" - goo.gl/scholar/dXcwek #ScholarAlerts

Creative commons licenses and copyright may not stop academic work being used to train AI - Impact of Social Sciences

Considering the legal standing of creative commons licenses & copyright, Martin Eve suggests legal protections for academic work are unlikely to be forthcoming.

Oops. Seems the quoted post in the post I quoted has now been deleted. Most likely due to overwhelming critical response.

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 2d

I knew students would be tempted, and most likely did (particularly as some skipped the whole "log in to the University library first" instruction and went to Google, with embedded Gemini on it), but I was not going to be the one to tell them to use it to compare. Sod that.

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 2d

In my literature review tutorial this term students had to design strategies for search for literature on uses of LLMs for literature review across databases and then compare results. The exercise intentionally did not include GenAI chatbots (say ChatGPT).

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 2d

Ditto.

Miriam Posner @miriamposner.com · 2d

Sorry, but why does every single person who thinks of this believe they’re the only person in the world to think of this? FWIW, as others have said, yes, students can and will use LLMs to reflect on the LLM’s initial response. (That’s also not what a primary source is but whatever.)

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 2d

Indeed. See also bsky.app/profile/erne...

Kind reminder this is the type of ads most people (including students; staff) are getting bombarded with online www.youtube.com/watch?v=COlB...

Saying "this is just another periodical platform shift" doesn't quite cover nor justify the significant singularities of the AI (but really what people mean is GenAI) phenomenon

Ernesto Priego @ernestopriego.com · 2d

Always interesting there is zero mention on how exactly "AI" works, the resources it requires, the actual social costs of simply replacing "interns" with automation, etc.
