i have become much slower at typing in recent years no, it's not because i'm getting older. no it's not due to health issues it's because i cannot. fucking. overcome. all the goddamn "smart" features that are trying to change what i've written, forcing me to go back and write it all 3-4 times

It's conference season, so I wanted to share the AI refusal statement I put at the end of my presentations and book talks. Feel free to use it!

I remember meeting with Frontiers after doing a Guest Editor spot and providing feedback that I really hated the (at the time, less) automated system—precisely because of the issues around assigning reviewers and that moving toward a more automated system (what they were pushing) is a mistake.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Reviewing stuff and authors saying they used GenAI for readability/word choice but then saying they edited the GenAI responses, what are we even doing. If you're editing the GenAI, why do you need to use this energy draining theft machine to edit your work when you're capable of doing it omg

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

@descalzi.bsky.social lab is also hiring a PDF and PhD student, so come chat if you're interested in pain, astrocytes and behaviour. I'm biased, but it's a great training environment!!
