"The way they conceptualise AI has been shaped by the prominence of gen AI tools. The misconception that AI means LLMs and chatbots can make managing stakeholders’ expectations complicated. Generative AI tools are not the solution to every problem." www.civilserviceworld.com/professions/...

'Generative AI is not the solution to every problem': Survey reveals officials' 'misconceptions' about AI

GDS research finds many civil servants continue to associate artificial intelligence solely with generative tools

Veronica Coan: “Daddy, do scientists just spend most of their time saying, ‘this is bullshit, this is bullshit, and this is also bullshit?’” Jim Coan: “Yes, my love, that is what scientists spend most of their time doing.”

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

This looks like a very nice first introduction! I started my now decade-long journey in acoustics through music and I still often come back to that for how I think about acoustical principles. Any musician or student interested in exploring acoustics should enjoy starting here!

To offer some perspective as a researcher whose been in the field longer than it was trendy: It comes from the name of the research field: the study of how to make intelligent machines. It’s not a declaration of success. But if you want to refer to specific technologies use their names, Eg LLMs.

Yes science is inherently political because the idea that human actions should be made in light of our understanding of reality is a political stance itself. Might folks who say this really mean that “science isn’t partisan”?

Sorry, to explain a bit more, Zenodo and OSF are science-specific archives for research data which provide DOIs - persistent identifiers that should always link to specific objects. They're supported by CERN & US federal agencies respectively. They're as permanent as anything on the internet can be

Public. Data. Repositories. Research data should be uploaded to data repos where researchers can't (understandably) lose it and which don't have an incentive to magically misplace it (like journals, funders, and unis) Zenodo, OSF, & figshare all have private options so embargo isn't a valid excuse

Screenshot of quote from Atlantic article. Paraphrased: Schweitzer told me that the most relevant files for the paper are "long gone". The Wharton School agreed, telling me that is "does not possess the requested data as it falls outside its current data retention period".

In 2023, Harvard Business School suspended a star professor over charges of research misconduct. As it happens, one of her papers also had funny data from a *different* B-school superstar -- a "mad, fraudulent unicorn,” per @jamesheathers.bsky.social... (1/3) www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

My new job title: Lecturer in AI for Sustainable Construction The best talk/paper title I've thought of so far: "Sustainable Construction for AI" examining making data centres and their management actually sustainable and tackling the looming disaster of emissions from AI systems.

If the landlord seeks any profit at all, then they are getting more money than the property and its maintenance is worth. And if they don't have a mortgage on the property, they can make nearly pure profit on the rent after maintenance and taxes are paid for.
