When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

New dataset published: this is the audio + transcripts of AI-generated podcasts using NotebookLM to analyse how it "translated" source documents from different times and cultures. My favourites are the 20 podcasts generated from an empty PDF. The paper about it is in press. doi.org/10.18710/RNT...

Meanwhile the ACM Digital Library is creating AI “podcasts” of papers with no author approval that of course contain inaccuracies (including e.g. misgendering authors) I don’t care about copyright. Legal /= ethical & academic institutions are embarrassing themselves www.404media.co/asu-atomic-a...

University Professors Disturbed to Find Their Lectures Chopped Up and Turned Into AI Slop

ASU Atomic, a new tool in beta at Arizona State University, takes faculty lectures and chops them into extremely short clips, that AI then attempts to turn into learning materials.

Something drove me to order a used copy of Identities and Interactions by McCall and Simmons (1978) from the other side of the world, despite having previously borrowed it from the library. Much of it may be attributed to how captivatingly it has been written:

Problems in deploying digital materials and methods in social research should be understood as—perhaps primarily—challenges in reconciling diverging epistemic conceptions across fields and communities, suggests Juho Pääkkönen in his PhD. Read the lectio praecursoria: rajapinta.co/2025/12/04/l...

New article out, just in time before #CSCW2025! This piece, by @eppfel.bsky.social, me and @matnel.bsky.social, looks at what happens if we ask politicians with different ideological leanings and party affiliations to design social media services. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #hcisky #hci #CSCW

We had a paper on ideal participants for social media political discussions in #dis2025. While it is a bit late to advertise that paper, I did write a short post about the paper to our research group's substack: sociallycompute.substack.com/p/what-makes...

What makes an ideal participant of social media political discussions?

One only needs to log in to services such as X or BlueSky to see that one prominent way of using social media is to discuss politics with peers.
