This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

It's not necessary to use generative AI to create images of the #Voynich Manuscript, so why do people continue to do it? There is so much wrong in this online image. Neither of the pages shown here is actually from the manuscript. The verso is labeled "r" ("recto") & the language is not Voynichese.

The Rams outgained the Broncos by 225 yards and still lost. That's the biggest yardage differential for a *losing* team in the last two seasons. Since 2024, teams that outgain their opponents by 225 yards are 34-2. The Lions' loss to TB in 2024 is the only other exception.

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

Carlsberg Brewery offered Niels Bohr a house next to the brewery in honor of his 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics. One of the benefits of the house was a direct pipeline from the brewery, effectively providing Bohr with free and unlimited beer for life.

Ethical problem of the day. Conceiving all knowledge dissemination in history to be 'passive' (tell that to a 13thC biblical commentator) & imagining you can release others' hard-won research as an active AI agent is troubling to this humanist (not to say errorful) med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

I just want to mention that nobody born after 1990 grasps how much smoking there was in the 70s when I was a kid every time you see a bank of candy machines next to a restaurant’s entrance, know that was where a big cigarette machine was in 1974

The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...

Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram

Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”
