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.

I made the mistake of taking three days of holiday for a long weekend and so now I have masses of catching up. Luckily [insert sarcasm] I'm an academic so spend all of the time between teaching terms with nothing to do.

Trying to catch up on a debate in epistemology and you guys publish too much calm down a bit no

i also 'store' pdfs in the downloads folder, but that's actually a bit misleading because when i need a pdf, i do not retrieve it from the downloads folder, where it may well be stored. i just go back to the internet and download it again
