I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

“We’re used to people saying 'fuck no,' & doing it anyway.” - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Democrat

Charles Keener@charleskeener.bsky.social · 2w ago

Governor Whitmer is officially a MAGA A vote for Stevens is a vote for Israel A vote for Rogers is a vote for Trump A vote for Abdul is a vote for the people. Abdul is the right choice for Michigan.

The whole trick of a parade dispute is that everyone agrees to look at the march and not at what stands beside it. This month a judge declined to look away. On a DUP MP at Scarva, a letter about a nationalist road, and a court that kept its eyes on the field. forlouth.medium.com/carla-lockha...

DUP MP stood beside masked men, called it standing with her people, then asked that an Orange march be let down a nationalist road because “the demographic composition has changed.” A High Court judge, weighing her word, said what he saw. New piece: 💭✍🏼 forlouth.medium.com/carla-lockha...

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Miles Klee 🦉@milesklee.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
