Art and craft, but not possession. Beautiful. “Food carving is much quicker [than wood carving], with a single knife, and you don’t get to keep any of your work.” www.wipo.int/en/web/ip-ad... chu-sin.com/fruit #food #art #WomensArt

"Malinowski did not write this on his substack, in an op-ed in the New York Times, or in a preprint on arxiv." By doing primary fieldwork he "came to an informed critique of his contemporaries’ extreme reliance on strings of text." ideophone.org/malinowski-1... @dingemansemark.bsky.social

It's easy to forget amidst a rising tide of synthetic text, but language is not actually about strings of words,…

People complain arthouse cinema is inaccessible. But say what you will about Bergman or Tarkovsky or Wong Kar-wai, they never told people to do tens of hours of homework. The Seventh Seal is about a knight in a spiritual battle with Death. That's the background. Simple.

From time to time, I will use an LLM for answer generation, but every time I will verify its results. I also presume that search will always be biased and inadequate, and I act accordingly. Do not surrender your humanity to tools that are architecturally and demonstrably unreliable narrators.

Finally, dug my own live example (from 12 June 2025) out of the screenshot pile. Unfortunately I didn't capture the question - it would've been something about when exactly was I supposed to cancel my TP status when switching over to a work permit.

screenshot of the doj bot replying to prompt not pictured: "**Temporary Protection and Work Permit** You do not meed to cancel your Temporary Protection if you have received a Work Permit. Temporary Protection in Ireland provides various entitlements, including the right to work. Therefore, you can hold both your Temporary Protection status and your Work Permit simultaneously without needing to cancel or re-register". Message concludes with a link to a "reference" page, but does not make it clear which section of the page is being referenced. The linked page does not support the information the bot provided.

I think it's also important to recognize that LLM "summaries" are not epistemically grounded in the ideas of the source material. When they're correct, it's more because *other* writing (in the training corpus) contains similar language. That makes it especially bad when applied to novel results.

Very disappointing that ACM using AI summaries that are highly likely to lead readers astray. We can expect more research papers misrepresenting other papers. We can thank AI summaries for that.

Dr. Casey Fiesler@cfiesler.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

"The Minister states that “the chatbot was tested extensively...checking responses to “55 questions out of which 53 were deemed successful" Wendy Lyon, an immigration & human rights solicitor at Abbey law, found that many of these 53 “successful” responses were wrong, unhelpful & misleading."

I fully endorse this. Political leaders are falling prey to AI hype, and seem to lack any kind of help from reputable sources who could counter the false claims of tech CEOs. Where are their science advisers???

In a short piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social, @abeba.bsky.social and I write #AIHype Is Steering EU Policy Off Course. Stop peddling in unscientific discourse about “AGI” and “superintelligence.” Serve citizens. Don't cater to the whims of tech CEOs. www.techpolicy.press/ai-hype-is-s...

We need our policymakers everywhere to be attuned to the needs of the people, not the whims of CEOs -- and especially not CEOs in the grip of TESCREAList fantasies. Thank you @abeba.bsky.social and @krisshrishak.bsky.social for speaking up www.techpolicy.press/ai-hype-is-s...
