Excited to be a Visiting Scholar at Cornell and study economy and society. Thanks Cristobal Young and the Sociology Dept. for hosting me! @cornelluniversity.bsky.social

>5h recordings and slides for most #LoveReplicationsWeek talks are now available on our updated website. Thank you so much everybody who contributed to this wonderful week, participated in the talks, and partnered-up with us. I think there should be a replication of this.

Wikipedia is needed now more than ever, 25 years on The online encyclopedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem. Researchers should help to nourish it.

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

If I publish less intentionally, those publishing more will crowd me out, maybe? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If possible, I would like to be able to comment on your Bluesky thread if you might permit me. I would only be interested in scientific exchange (no trolling here).

Migrationspolitik: Einstellungen können Forschungsergebnisse beeinflussen

Michael, thank you for you criticism and complements that were published in a radio broadcast for Forschung aktuelle (current science/research). www.deutschlandfunk.de/migrationspo... @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy

@mclem.org is not reacting to this post. I had hoped for academic exchange, but can understand that sometimes people prefer to control the flow of information in their own media feeds, especially if it might provide counter arguments to theirs.

Thanks @mclem.org for your feedback on our study. I cannot reply to your posts, nor message you directly. Is that intentional, or do I not fully understand how Bluesky works yet? I would like to engage in some scholarly exchange if you are interested.

Those who identify as Republican in the U.S. had declining trust in science since 2010. Recently those who identify as Moderate also show declining trust. Let's push for more rigorous, transparent and ethical scientific practices.

The Infographic and Video generation tools in #NotebookLM are pretty amazing. Not meant to be self-promotion, but just what came out from a recent paper I uploaded. A helpful tool to just get some fresh ideas, or possibly plan a poster. #GenAI

For personal reasons, I do not support Elsevier (thecostofknowledge.com). It can be difficult to explain / say 'no' to colleagues seeking our support. Therefore, I created a template to respectfully decline: crowdid.hypotheses.org/1990.

I now add QR codes presentation slides for citations. It occurred to me I can embed a link in the QR code image, so users can access the URL by clicking too (rather than adding another link somewhere else on the slide). Winnie the Pooh would call this #afishinthesea

If you miss 'Wordle' (the website that made word clouds before the daily puzzle game 'Wordle' was invented), you can use my app to generate them. nate-breznau.shinyapps.io/word-cloud/

It is a forked and tuned version of Antoine Soetewey's original app.

I grew up in Kalamazoo, MI and middle class homeowners would do "Candy Cane Lanes" where entire neighborhoods would compete to have the most and best decorations. There are streams of cars going through the neighborhood to admire the decorations for weeks.

I really get a kick out of using Gen AI sometimes. I'm preparing several talks for my six week Japan tour on topics of #openscience #theoriesasdata #metascience, and this came up in my preparations.

ChatGPT - [outputs various large pictures of an historical figure I am researching]
Me - "are those pictures in the public domain?"
ChatGPT - "no. you should not use them"
Me - "why do you get to use them?"
ChatGPT - "they are the same as internet search result thumbnails"
Me - facepalm

Human knowledge may find itself in a non-recursive feedback loop over time, and its utility to human realities and social worlds collapses with it.
#GenAI #computerscience #AI #artificialintelligence #ChatGPT

Using Gen AI to produce knowledge carries long-term risks because it can lead to 'model collapse' - where the data used to train new Gen AI systems is increasingly a product of AI rather than humans. Knowledge and practical functions of AI collapse because semantic meaning is no longer human-based.

Also hybrid format, so not only in Japan come join!
