3 journals to which I wanted to submit a paper have a 8k words limit, refs included. I find it really short, especially for qualitative material.
Even as a reader, I often get frustrated by the results and discussion sections.
Hopefully a few journals resist.

Tiens, les Éditions Quæ annoncent une « 2e édition revue et corrigée » du bouquin de #Latour « Le métier de chercheur, regard d‘un anthropologue ».

(Le communiqué ne dit pas sur quoi il est « revu et corrigé » et si Latour a participé, avant sa mort, à cette révision)

Sortie le 2 octobre.

“We risk another productivity paradox with generative AI if we don’t fundamentally rethink the way we work.“

Sure. Rethink generative AI promises and reconsider the need for these tools in the workplace is not an option, I guess.

From Burnout to Balance: AI-Enhanced Work Models for the Future

Research from The Upwork Research Institute reveals that while leaders expect AI to boost productivity, it may be increasing employee workload.

Fascinating: the study shows that 77% of employees say Gen AI tools have “actually decreased their productivity and added to their workload”, and clearly demonstrates how delusionnal C-suite executives are about AI.
Yet, the conclusion says:

En 2008, Bruno Latour signe la préface du « Public Fantôme » de Walter Lippmann.

Latour use de cette jolie formule, clin d'oeil à un texte célèbre de Galilée.

« ... le cerveau de mille Démosthène, de mille Aristote, de mille Einstein... »

Et bien, et vous ne me croirez sûrement pas 😉...
