Does everyone need to do a PhD? No. Do we need PhDs for a prospering society? Absolutely. High-risk, high-effort, and low-monetary-reward breakthroughs require diligent workers. America’s long-term prosperity is more dependent on this expertise than most imagine.

In 2023 we showed in a PNAS article that AI can very effectively adapt to humans' folk theories about what is AI writing and be "more human than human" @mjakesch.bsky.social arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/n...
Wikipedia volunteers spent years cataloging AI tells. Now there's a plugin to avoid them.
The web's best guide to spotting AI writing has become a manual for hiding it.

Welcoming all new @acm-cscw.bsky.social followers 🥰! I presented my paper "My Precious Crash Data: Barriers and Opportunities in Encouraging Autonomous Driving Companies to Share Safety-Critical Data" with @angelhwang.bsky.social , @fabulousqian.bsky.social and @wendyju.bsky.social already online!
My Precious Crash Data: Barriers and Opportunities in Encouraging Autonomous Driving Companies to Share Safety-Critical Data | Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction
Safety-critical data, such as crash and near-crash records, are crucial to improving autonomous vehicle (AV) design and development. Sharing such data across AV companies, academic researchers, regulators, and the public can help make all AVs safer. ...

You might say “Writing is thinking”, and so are sketching, writing code, and coding user interviews. We have seen “how” students in our HCI class use GenAI can either hinder or support their thinking. arxiv.org/abs/2405.01467 www.chronicle.com/newsletter/t...
