It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Historians know that incorrect information becomes increasingly hard to fact check over time. We are sleep walking into an age of misinformation as we increasingly rely on AI to think for us. #histsci #hps #sts #bookhistory #data #history #journalism www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Super wichtig! Danke für's Teilen! Was ich hier nicht sehe, ist die Erwägung von Umweltaspekten in der Verwendung von #KI. Mich interessiert, ob die Richtlinien ggf. an anderer Stelle den vergleichsweise hohen #Ressourcenverbrauch der Tools reflektieren u. wie damit umgegangen wird(?).

Dear #AI community, I am looking for reliable sources, such as academic papers, reporting on environmental costs of AI. I'd like to be able to present these risks concisely in discussions and substantiate them with sources. So far I'm having trouble finding comprehensive reports. #sustainability

I wanted to tell a joke about Athena but it gave me a headache.

I had a joke about Sisyphus but you’d have to get over the hump

Not at all concerning to learn that Universities UK are partnering with a company to sell an AI product that offers automated feedback on student work. Who needs staff?

Someone grab the A1! The LLM-to-malware pipeline is a perfect downward spiral: AI generates code with imaginary packages, attackers register those package names with malware, and unsuspecting developers execute the code. Another way AI errors cascade into real-world threats.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

Our own @arnoldke.bsky.social will host a workshop at this event on how to work with + read natural history specimens with colleagues at the Liverpool World Museum! 🪲 Information on schedule, bursaries, & sign-up available in the link below ⬇️🌿

#IchBinHanna Looking for an apartment. Many housing ads prefer tenants with a stable (unbefristete) work contracts. Some say this explicitly. Now look at us, people with a PhD in late 30s, with only 1- or 2-year contracts or fellowships or shorter. Even harder when you’re foreigners.

Heute, Mo. 7.4. 18 Uhr Das Medizinhistorische Museum Hamburg in bewegten Zeiten. Rückblick von der Corona-Ausstellung über die Auseinandersetzung mit Rassismus und Antisemitismus bis hin zur aktuellen Sonderausstellung in deren Mittelpunkt die Eppendorfer Krankenakte Vladimir Lenins steht.

Man erkennt den Umstand, dass die Woken zuletzt die Republik übernommen hatten, daran, dass wir lauter BPOC als Bundesminister*innen haben, die großen Zeitungen feministische Chefredakteur*innen haben und in Talkshows immer der eine weiße Quotenmann sitzt, weil sonst keine angefragt wurden. ✨

Es geht los! 🎨 Unser #EarlyCareer Comic-Workshop der @gtg-histtech.bsky.social mit Illustrator @aikearndt.bsky.social ! Wir sind sehr gespannt! ✍️ #WissKom #Comics #HistTech #HistSci

For #envhum #envhist early career scholars: I would be open to hosting a MSCA Postdoctoral fellowship application with @greenhouseuis.net @unistavanger.bsky.social this year. We have a very good track record with these grants. Our uni arranges applicant courses.

Dass Arbeitsbedingungen schlecht sind, schadet nicht nur den (potentiellen) Beschäftigten. Es schadet auch der Wissenschaft selbst. Nicht zuletzt, weil der Fachkräftemangel auch hier längst angekommen ist. And it shows! #IchBinHanna (4/8)

Writing is thinking. We get students to write so that they learn how to think and use their brains. Using LLMs to do your work is like trying to be an athlete by getting someone else to do your training for you.

Rohan Maitzen@rohanmaitzen.bsky.social · last yr.

What is the point of what we do if the interactions are not authentic? It is evident that students are increasingly turning to LLMs to "help" them do their work, with such dreary results - from handwaving generalizations that are rhetorically fluent but vacuous to outright hallucinations.

I mean… Yeah. Yeah they do. For entirely known and warned-about reasons. Yes. www.science.org/content/arti...

I may be shouting into the void but for those #SST & #HistComputing folks out there, has there been any good work on *tacit knowledge* in systems administration? I have a somewhat far-fetched hypothetical and I want to know how far out on a limb 🎋 I am.
