Emily Bender and Nanna Inie: "all LLM output is probabilistically produced synthetic text". AI is not "intelligent". The chatbot does not have a clue what it just said to you. It does not *understand* the text it generates. So here's how to talk about it without making it sound like a living being
Are you annoyed with the anthropomorphizing language being used in the "AI" discourse, but not sure how to talk about this stuff without it? @nannainie.bsky.social and I have got you covered: buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...
Acabo de empezar "Nadie me esperaba aquí. Apuntes sobre el desclasamiento" (gracias por esta bienvenida, @aguiar.bsky.social). En un momento habla de la necesidad en el "mundo artístico" de cambiarse el nombre y los apellidos, cambiar la propia identidad (incluso borrarla) para ganar capital social.
Por favor, tomad esta imagen del punto 72 del pacto PP-VOX sobre convertir todo el Bachillerato de Andalucía en concertado y se lo enseñais a vuestros familiares cuñaos con mala baba. Y les decís si les parece bien que pronto pagarán para que su chaval haga bachillerato. Quizá así lo entienden.

A principios de 2024 nos sentamos @comocuandocomo.bsky.social y yo en un juzgado de Barcelona como peritos en nutrición y salud en el juicio de Heura contra la plana mayor de la industria cárnica española. Los argumentos de la parte contraria nos dejaron tiesos 😅

Truly bizarre story of how two papers from the 1940s by physics pioneer Max Planck have been "retracted" from Naturwissenschaften, potentially by an algorithm, for anachronistic "plagiarism" issues, leaving the current editor baffled (but it is Springer Nature so.... www.science.org/content/arti...
Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?
Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck. A bot may be to blame

Unas notas tristes y rabiosas sobre la muerte del verano: ya no es sinónimo de libertad, es un paréntesis que nos impide pensar, escapar, disfrutar. Volver a compincharnos es un impulso militante, un imperativo corporal y una vocación cívica. lavidaquevendra.substack.com/p/la-vida-qu...

NEW: Cars are growing 1.2 cm longer every year, a new study from T&E and @cleancitiescampaign.org shows. European cities are set to lose between 8.5% and 14% of their on-street parking by 2040 if this trend continues unchecked. 🧵⤵️

How much heartache would be saved if we routinely used cognitive interviewing/think-aloud procedures when developing instruments? We should know how respondents are interpreting instructions. Just frickin' ask people. It doesn't even need to be particularly rigorous.

Mayor mortalidad y problemas de salud entre votantes de Trump "disminución de la confianza en los profesionales médicos entre las personas de derecha, menor disposición a buscar atención, seguir consejos clínicos o creer en la eficacia de medicamentos", más allá del tema COVID.
🎉 We were very happy to host @sabrinanorwood.bsky.social for a guest talk on digital behaviourism, a fascinating approach grounded in operant conditioning that can help explain digital behaviour beyond aggregate measures of screen time. 📖 You can read the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...
My PhD Sajedeh Rasti has published a World View piece in Nature today: "Don’t compete, collaborate: why collective funding applications are the future" www.nature.com/articles/d41... She discusses how she successfully brought together a team of meta-scientists to collaboratively apply for funding.
Don’t compete, collaborate: why collective funding applications are the future
Scientists with disparate expertise writing grants together can identify knowledge gaps and drive progress — but systems must change to incentivize them.

La primera vez que hablé esta deportada (23 años‼️) sabía que su historia iba a ser dura... pero no esperaba tal pesadilla. Cuenta que no los dejaban dormir, que les negaban agua y llamar a su familia. Tras pasar por 6 centros en 3 estados, un día no pudo más. Mi historia para @theguardian.com:
Shackled, transferred, mocked: woman, 23, says she gave in to deportation after ‘humiliating’ ICE detention
Ana María was happy working in the US with an open asylum case. But after ICE detained her for months, she said she requested to go back to her native country

Creo que este artículo es muy indicativo de los problemas laborales del profesorado universitario. Todo el texto va sobre los problemas de los criterios para repartir migajas entre el profesorado; no se entra en ningún momento en por qué son migajas. www.eldiario.es/sociedad/uni...
La Universidad Autónoma de Madrid cambia el criterio de las cátedras y deja fuera a profesores con más experiencia

All the philosophy students who pursued their passion made a wise decision. Learning how to think is a always a good investment. Psychology grads are not doing too badly on the job market either.
