Professor of computational cognitive science
I've spent 15 years becoming a researcher & tenured professor. I will absolutely quit and do literally anything else the moment someone tells me my job is to sell the racist, environment-destroying machine to students (esp. 1st gen, low-income ones). Shame on CSU. www.nytimes.…
Conscientious objection should be absolutely normalised, independent of religion. www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...
These pause AI nonsense calls have been happening for a long time. It's always about power because they wanna consolidate and stop racing against each other for no gains. Here's a previous time of many they tried the same silliness: futureoflife.org/open-letter/...
> teaching students how to question and critique [AI] should not be the panacea for biased, unregulated, and problematic AI. There is a risk that a focus on digital literacies can responsibilise young people in dealing with the significant problems of generative AI. www.ox.ac.…
nice piece! everything "AI" and related nonsense touches becomes confused: even "automation" is problematic since it often implies in the public imaginary & beyond no human input, no human-in-the-loop when it's the opposite! thus underlining the urgency & damage www.sciencedir…
I have free advice: read this report from @amnesty.org instead www.amnesty.org/en/documents...
What a breath of fresh air. Good to see at least one university being clear and granting students exactly the space they need to hone their skills. "The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitte…
"The proliferation of references to fake articles threatens to undermine the legitimacy of institutional research across the board" -- by Miles Klee www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... open access link: archive.ph/qt59c 1/🧵
AI "rejection is possible and has historical precedent, to name just a few successful examples: Amsterdammers kicked out cars, rejecting that cycling through the Dutch capital should be deadly [...] and governments banned chlorofluorocarbons [...] to mitigate ozone depletion" …

This is a study of Whisper, the LLM-based "transcription" software behind the products used by many medical providers. It gives the appearance of "fluency", but routinely goes entirely off-script, fabricating extensive passages and relations. Human scribes don't do this. arxiv…
Some AI researchers feel threatened by AI-critique without realizing that it is the AI-industry that is threatening
Seeing scary entanglement between Dutch technofascist movements and EU level research into AI. Not that I could not guess, but seeing it black on white remains disconcerting ...
Using an AI-“tool” from [insert BigTech company name] for language editing of a paper about the remarkable capabilities of AI-“tools" is a COI in my honest opinion.
What do other researchers do when you are asked to review or write commentaries on paper that have been processed by corporate “AI”?
if one thinks *displacement AI* is just a tool, maybe one is a tool (*term by @olivia.science)
