Trump will Wissenschaft durch AI erzeugen lassen. Das klingt bedrohlich. Ist das der historische Wendepunkt, an dem die USA wissenschaftliche Qualität aus der Hand geben? Es liest sich nach der Cartoon-Variante von Wissenschaft, so stellen sich naive IT-Bros Forschung vor. (Thread)

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

2023 bot die Entdeckung eines durch Dacheinsturz versiegelten Raums in #Selinunt die einmalige Möglichkeit, das Alltagsleben in der griechischen Stadt zu rekonstruieren.

In Zusammenarbeit mit #3DStoa entstand eine virtuelle Rekonstruktion des Befundes:

Bildkachel mit der Aufsicht auf ein virtuelles 3D-Modell eines antiken Hauses. Deutlich sind die Steinmauern, Fußböden und Einrichtungsgegenstände wie Keramikgefäße zu erkennen. Oben ist auf blauem Untergrund zu lesen: "PUBLISHED: Virtual 3D reconstruction of a domestic space in Selinunte (Sicily) from the 5th century BC. Forum für digitale Archäologie und Infrastruktur (FDAI). by Melanie Jonasch, Linda Adorno, Pablo Aparicio-Resco. Unten links das Logo von 3D STOA, unten rechts der DAI-Greif. 3D-rekonstruierter Blick in einen antiken Raum. Neben der leicht geöffneten Tür, durch die Licht hereinscheint steht ein Tischen, auf dem einige Keramikgefäße zu sehen sind. Auch auf dem Fußboden unmittelbar vor Betrachterin bzw. Betrachter ist, leicht in der Tiefenunschärfe verschwindend, ein eine Keramikschale zu sehen. Zweigeteilte Bildkachel: Oben eine Auswahl keramischer Funde, verschiedener Gefäße und einer Öllampe, aus den Ausgrabungen, unten stehen dieselben Gefäße in einer rekonsturierten Alltagssituation auf einem Tisch oder Regal, die Öllampe brennt. Bildkachel mit Aufsicht auf denselben antiken Raum, oben rechts ist zu lesen: FDAI. FORUM FOR DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE. Darunter ein Textfeld: Virtual 3D reconstruction of a domestic space in Selinunte (Sicily) from the 5th century BC: opportunities and challenges Melanie Jonasch, Linda Adorno, Pablo Aparicio-Resco While carrying out stratigraphic excavations in the northern part of the Greek city, a building was discovered that most probably was destroyed during the Carthaginian attack of 409 BC. The particular importance of this discovery lies in the almost undisturbed state of the ruins and the objects within the structure, which were crushed and sealed by the collapsed roof. The building was not completely excavated; the focus was on a room of approximately 23 m2, interpreted as a domestic space, based on two built-in hearths and a large variety of household goods. The exceptional state of preservation of the room and its objects at the time of its destruction made this space ideal for scientific and graphic reconstruction. Thus, a virtual 3D reconstruction was developed to reliably reproduce an ordinary living space within a Greek town during the 5th century BC for the scientific and general communities. These finds also enable the assessment of the viability of rather crude ideas regarding the appearance of these living spaces and their function. This paper will discuss the theoretical reasoning and methodological approach behind this endeavour.

This is the way. Teach against LLMs and encourage genuine engagement with materials, but refuse to let these technology companies dictate your pedagogy.
sonjadrimmer.bsky.social Sonja Drimmer @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social · 11d
It is literally not your job to mount defensive maneuvers against LLM vomited essays. Give those papers the grades the words deserve (generally it's a 'C'). Take a deep breath and decompress after the sense of disappointment. Move on.

An extraordinary discovery was made in Ibiza: a 30-centimeter wooden sculpture representing Hercules. Considering the scarcity of wooden sculptures preserved from the Roman era, this discovery is truly remarkable.
The figure was found in a Roman well that was later reused as a refuse pit. 🧵1/2

🏺
Two views of a damaged wooden human-shaped sculpture shown from the front and back. The figure is missing parts of its arms and legs, with a cracked and worn surface, and is placed beside a black, red, and white measuring scale for size reference.
