I’m Mad and I’m living in Kraków and partially that’s why I’m Mad.

Well, I even did „countertenorish” stuff on the chorus. All tracks recorded by me, music and lyrics obviously too. It’s ok to do a little show off sometimes.

Yesterday, 2 schoolchildren were shot and the shooter died. Kids suffer so much violence. And it's dismissed by the adults who could change that.

"Hostility, exclusion and academic bullying should be formally recognised as research integrity issues because they directly impact who gets to succeed and whose voices are silenced."

By @maddipow.bsky.social

Research integrity needs a kindness agenda or we will lose ECRs

Responding to early-career researchers’ honest questions with accusations of misconduct is a travesty of open science, says Madeleine Pownall

Here are some of the things @prismreports.org does to verify whether a pitch or piece is AI-generated (I hope this is helpful for others):

1. AI pieces and pitches all kind of look the same, and they're structured the same:
- intro
- Subhead and body of text repeated 4 or 5 times

I was a student (and probably will be once again) on four different universities and I saw everything but honesty, critical thinking and transparency. Instead I saw hidden curriculum of social hierarchy, academic connections are more important than the skills n knowledge and dishonesty is welcomed

MadMind @madmind.bsky.social · Sep 6

Ok, I went through the paper and one thing is definitely wrong—assumption that humans created or are able to create transparent, critical and responsible academic environment. I mean how creatures that are constantly affected by their emotions would be transparent and honest? 1/2

The only legitimate reason to still be on Twitter/X is if you are doing research on misinformation and extremism.

Anil Dash @anildash.com · Aug 22

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.

These people are so unaware of being personally influenced by constantly immersing themselves in a firehose blast of Nazi propaganda that she doesn't even list that as one of the considerations www.theargumentmag.com/p/we-have-to...

The kicker, of course, being that every teacher teaches in a "neurodiverse classroom".

Nick Covington @covingtonedu.bsky.social · May 27

"Notably, ADHD and ASD learners may exhibit unique cognitive load responses, suggesting that established cognitive load theories and instructional design guidelines might not uniformly be applicable in neurodiverse classrooms." 😬

It's a shame it took me almost a month to find out Margaret Boden died. And it's a shame it took most media a month to write about one of the greatest philosophers of the last century.

The real problem is when the potential patients are using chatbots this way, because then it’s independent of any decision made by professionals, simply “it doesn’t matter” in this case. The problem will be only bigger, no matter what regulations will be applied.

Yeah, people often tell very stupid shit to let you know what they think about you and that they don’t want to talk on your level, probably it’s statistically significant and language models can pick up the pattern. Stupid question, stupid answer.
