At this year's music Pedagogy into Practice conference at UBC, I attended a keynote address on the subject of integrating AI into music education, from José Antonio Bowen. It was the most disappointed I have ever been during a keynote talk. At times, it was stomach-churning. Thread:

La respuesta que ha habido a esta peli, las críticas o los comentarios en Filmaffinity hablan muy poco de la peli en si, pero dicen mucho de la ola reaccionaria que se nos viene encima

Escribo sobre cómo" prioridad nacional" significa más bien vivir a costa de los migrantes. Porque la clase media española se sostiene, en parte, gracias al trabajo barato y las rentas de alquiler que extrae a la población extranjera. En @ctxt.es ctxt.es/es/20260501/...

Two new facts stand out: 1. 85% of hallucinated citations in preprints are also in the subsequent journal version (thanks, peer review!) 2. Fake cites more likely to use the names of (male) scholars who are already highly cited, creating a fake-citation Matthew effect. arxiv.org/abs/2605.07723

This from @pardoguerra.bsky.social is right: Not every useful unit of research needs the same amount of peer review resources. We need an incentive structure to support alternatives. Not said: there is no way to get there. /1
It’s time to get rid of the peer-reviewed paper
The peer-reviewed journal article, perhaps the single most important device behind the expansion of scientific knowledge in the last century, is an extraordinarily expensive way to share novelty: e…

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Philip N Cohen@philipncohen.com · 5mo agoI ran a simple model with new public data then used 1 prompt to make ChatGPT guess what the model would produce. With 10 seconds of "thinking," it was very close. The implications of this are catastrophic. The American Sociological Association should do something about this but it doesn't care to /1
A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives
