Será que já dá pra pensar em julgar e prender quem prescreveu tratamento precoce na pandemia? Quem organizou e executou o contágio do país? Quem negou vacina?

Dúvida sincera: Como é a rotina de trabalho dos 12 secretários do gabinete da Carla Zambelli atualmente? Vale para os 17 do gabinete do Ramagem e para os 9 do bananinha também.

He dedicado los últimos días a trabajar Observation.org durante horas, algo que llevaba tiempo queriendo hacer. Como toda obra humana, tiene virtudes y defectos. Algunos de estos son peligrosos para caminantes novatos. Sigue ejemplo de "fatal flaw" para advertir contra un excesivo optimismo(1/3) 🧵

I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

Another thing that is making this an "interesting" time to be the head of Integrity in Publishing at a scientific publisher 🥲

We really need major oversight at institutions, before things are sent for publication. Data provenance is key.

About three years after ChatGPT emerged, students are using artificial intelligence to help with outlining, brainstorming, and studying. In this week's episode of College Matters from The Chronicle, we examine how colleges can weight the promise of AI against its pitfalls. https://chroni.cl/47UcJO8
Using AI Without (Really) Cheating
There’s plenty of moral panic about college students using generative AI to write their essays, but many students say they are trying to use these tools in the right way.

Nature’s survey of PhD students shows that one-third of the 3,800 participants were based outside their country of origin, and the most common reason for their move was “a lack of funding at home.” #Academicsky 🧪

As dozens of frog species have declined across Central America, scientists have witnessed a remarkable chain of events: With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria in the region have climbed, resulting in a fivefold increase in cases. https://wapo.st/4paBuuT

Seria mais fácil proteger as florestas tropicais se os governos entenderem elas como infra estrutura instalada de energia e de fonte de água do agro.
