Saw a video where a travel influencer missed half the Christmas markets in Cologne because they relied on ChatGPT to tell them the opening dates and you know what, sometimes I let my very German schadenfreude run free.

This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

I've been seeing people say about their work lately, "I used AI in the edits & refining of this piece, but it's all my own words & ideas."
I think people don't quite understand what "my own words" means. If you're using AI, the words are not your own. They are an amalgam of other people's words.

Ik heb dat AI deltaplan eens helemaal doorgelezen en ik bleef toch met een vraag zitten. Zijn die plannen voor zelfrijdende auto's niet een beetje te rooskleurig? Hoe moeten de duizenden mensen die nu met de trein gaan bijvoorbeeld uit al die auto's stappen? Met een katapult?

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

“One Night Cough Syrup” from the 1930s, which contained cannabis, morphine, chloroform, and alcohol! In 1934, the FDA ruled that the claims of the cough syrup's therapeutic properties were misleading, and remaining stock was destroyed.

There is a fixation among some policy makers and researchers on citations as an indicator for impact. And indeed, I am sure the works of Eysenck had huge impact, just not beneficial.

When he was alive, Eysenck was the most cited living psychologist. Citations in the 20th century by total aggregate went Freud, Piaget, Eysenck.
But enough time has passed that this is treated as a historical rather than a contemporary case.

Diederik Stapel was a massive watershed moment in psychology.
However, he was -- and let's be slightly glib here -- some guy from The Netherlands who wrote social psychology papers.
The full accounting of the Eysenck case is approx, at minimum, TWO STAPELS.
