Happy Columbus Day!! I have to think that Columbus would be turning over in his grave to find that after risking his life to discover America, the Super Bowl halftime show is going to be performed in Spanish.

ChatGPT und Co fallen mit einer extrem freundlichen, nahezu schleimenden Tonalität auf - Sycophancy nennt man das

Doch wie wirkt sich Sycophancy psychologisch aus? Und welche Geschäftsinteressen stehen dahinter?

Dazu mein neuer Newsletter 👇
Super Idee, sagt der Chatbot. Ist die Schmeichelei der KI ein Problem?

We need governance– not of the technology, but of the companies creating the technology, and their wealth / financial leverage in terms of market capitalisation. This is a transnational challenge. Leaving it to one country just let it eat that country. But governments are how we coordinate on power.

Excellent advice for everyone in academia.

Dunno if it's helpful to anyone, but I offer this in the spirit of academics not talking enough about rejection & students sometimes not getting mentoring on the point.

A student (primary author) & I just had a paper rejected from a journal, & I wrote this reply to them sharing the news with me.
Abbreviated text of screenshot of email: "When I get a decision like this---I've had plenty of rejections, btw, it's a common experience!---I like to: give myself a few days to just sit with the answer; go to the reviewer comments with fresh eyes and hopefully a constructive attitude; read the reviewer comments and classify them into 3 types of feedback: big / structural things that might necessitate fundamentally re-thinking the paper; mezzo-level things that could be addressed within the scope / frame of the project; minutiae that are easy to do (e.g., points about language / grammar / adding citations) for each of those, I think about: what do I agree with and think was a reasonable reading of the paper; what do I think is not reasonable / doesn't require further consideration / is something that the reviewers didn't get / is something that was particular to that journal; what do I *want* to work on / make the paper into / where am I willing to invest energy finally, with this distance and structured thinking, I think about other venues for the piece (where to submit it to next) and what kind of changes (if any!) are required before submitting to a different venue. While it's usually good to make some changes based on reviewers' feedback (they're smart people who gave this consideration and the comments are largely thoughtful), it could be that a different venue would be a better fit and not require (or even want) the changes suggested by reviewers for the journal that rejected the piece. I'm happy to talk about this in our next scheduled meeting / before then / any time. And just to reiterate: I truly hope that you don't take this news too hard. It's a very common part of this whole academia business, it's ideally how work gets better and makes stronger contributions, and it's zero reflection on your standing or future as a scholar. All best, -- M."

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime.

With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.
