Academics’ enthusiastic (and often uncritical) embrace of LLMs and generative artificial intelligence will be a factor in the junkification of research.
You can’t outsource thinking nor the cognitive task of gradually absorbing knowledge. Nor discernment and creativity.

I wonder if you're so disinterested in politics that you don't care about the US plans to militarily invade Europe
That would be a disaster for the UK.
«'The current concerns [about an invasion] are driven by the most extreme views coming from Stephen Miller. The UK's positioning will be key - whether it sticks closely with European allies or breaks ranks [to sanction Trump's approach].'»

This is exactly how I feel. "Wait, there's a chatbot that can give me the answers I like? Great! Who cares about integrity!"
It has been a truly upsetting revelation how many people who I thought cared about disinformation, advocating for science, etc just flipped in 0.002 microseconds after a tech company programmed a chatbot to tell them how great their questions are

Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

Never have I wanted to change careers as much as right now with the advent of Artificial Dumbness.
It's destroying the job I love (programming) and replacing it with an abomination that destroys livelihoods and young people's future.
Honestly if I had anything else in mind, I may be switching.

I realized yesterday that the Democrats accepting defeat on the government shutdown was a big political play in view of the Epstein files story.
If that was still ongoing, Trump would have a very good tool to shift the attention from him not releasing the files to him ending the shutdown.

Let's say that you were a model citizen in the last 10 years, and so were the other people in your town. Through various optimizations, efforts and investments you managed to cut your electricity need by HALF! Impressive!
Then comes the AI datacenter and wipes it all out.

Here is another great fact: AI data centers are a relatively new concept, and nobody has ever built a 1 gigawatt data center campus at speed. Crusoe? Never built an AI data center before. We have less than a year of data on cooling Blackwell.

I'll be honest, AI is killing my fondness of software development. This new way of producing software is not interesting at all.
It is good old measuring of productivity by lines of code written. And that's all managers ever cared about.

The Federal Council wants to cut costs in the ERI sector despite widespread objections. Cuts of over 10 percent per year are planned for the SNSF over the next few years. Above all, this plan jeopardises the innovation potential and competitiveness of the Swiss economy. ⤵️ www.snf.ch/en/9a7Fhnojt...
