Autocorrect thought I meant to say "Live reggae" in an email just now, rather than "Kind regards." I'm going with it.

Press may undermine momentum; not passive observers.

To my untutored ear, this all sounds a huge stretch to avoid the obvious...

#LeaveTheWorldBehind was engaging, imo...

Excellent advice on paper review:

1. Peer reviewers are volunteers.

2. Map all comments to actions.

3. Address all comments.

4. Focus on improving your paper, instead of arguing.

5. Rarely, and only with strong defense, say no.

6. Don’t take things personally.

7. Avoid recreational revisions.

@jephpp.bsky.social is great for this, cheers Joel

we need another journal or two to send papers!

greg_j_davis @gregorydavis.bsky.social · 4d

Is any journal in cognition/vision area
able to secure reviewers?

(I know it's not Eds' fault)

7-8 months w/out reviewer on 1 journal now..

only 1 mth on another but getting sinking feeling..

I wrote about how advanced AI might gradually eat away at human interdependence, dissolving the glue that underpins human solidarity and cooperation. The risk here would not come from misaligned AI, but from how well-aligned AI threatens human alignment 👇 www.conspicuouscognition.com/p/superintel...

What happens to humanity when we no longer need each other?

International aid groups were gearing up on Friday to funnel as much aid as possible into Gaza, but their staff on the ground said they did not yet have a clear picture of what would be allowed in under the Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal.

Aid Groups Prepare to Provide Quick Relief to Gaza Under Cease-Fire

The new Israel-Hamas deal contains provisions to increase aid to Gaza, and for the reopening of a border crossing from Egypt.
