Umělá inteligence není příběh o technologii, nýbrž o penězích Komentář Pavla Pospěcha: Do rozvoje AI je v současné době vloženo tolik peněz, že společnosti, které tyto peníze investovaly – a jde o nejbohatší a nejvlivnější firmy na světě – zkrátka nepřipustí…

Komentář Pavla Pospěcha: Do rozvoje AI je v současné době vloženo tolik peněz, že společnosti, které tyto peníze investovaly – a jde o nejbohatší a nejvlivnější firmy na světě – zkrátka nepřipustí jiný scénář než masivní využívání AI a společnost, která je na AI závislá.

The Transformation of the Image of the WWII Enemy in the Czech Context Through the Agency of Military Reenactors1 The symbolic production of historical meaning at the native level of actors, in relation to past wars and armed conflicts, is one of the areas where research in the fields of post-positivist oral h...

I revisited the complex issue of contemporary Axis military reenactors in the Czech lands, this time focusing on their increasing involvement in World War II-related memory politics. In reality, a group of seemingly fringe actors exercises a surprising level of influence...

Screenshot of a post by Luiza Jarovsky, PhD, on X discussing an error made by artificial intelligence software used by Utah police to transcribe body camera footage. The post states that the AI claimed an officer “shapeshifted into a frog,” and explains that the reason was even more bizarre. Below the post is a screenshot of a news article excerpt from Fox 13 News. The highlighted section explains that the AI transcription software mistakenly picked up dialogue from a movie playing in the background, identified as The Princess and the Frog, and included it in the police report. The article text is shown on a white background with a blue highlighted paragraph.

Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

title: Cheap science, real harm: the cost of replacing human
participation with synthetic data

author: Abeba Birhane

abstract: Driven by the goals of augmenting diversity, increasing speed, reducing cost, the
use of synthetic data as a replacement for human participants is gaining traction
in AI research and product development. This talk critically examines the claim
that synthetic data can “augment diversity,” arguing that this notion is empirically
unsubstantiated, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful. While speed and
cost-efficiency may be achievable, they often come at the expense of rigour, insight,
and robust science. Drawing on research from dataset audits, model evaluations,
Black feminist scholarship, and complexity science, I argue that replacing human
participants with synthetic data risks producing both real-world and epistemic
harms at worst and superficial knowledge and cheap science at best

I wrote this brief talk on why “augmenting diversity” with LLMs is empirically unsubstantiable, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful and a nice surprise to see the organisers have made it public

AI Slop Is Spurring Record Requests for Imaginary Journals The International Committee of the Red Cross warned that artificial intelligence models are making up research papers, journals and archives

“AI models not only point some users to false sources but also cause problems for researchers and librarians, who end up wasting their time looking for requested nonexistent records…”

Tucker Carlson has hosted Hitler apologists on his show. Now he says Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who tried to kill Hitler, was not being Christian. He isn't making a theological argument. He's just morally inverting World War II and the Holocaust, to make space for their villains to rise again.

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Tohle rozhodně stojí za přečtení... je to poněkud depresívní, ale vzchopme se, dokud je čas:

Fialova vláda nezvládla financování platů školníků a uklízeček. Sebere peníze vědcům - Novinky Rozpočtové plány končící vlády Petra Fialy (ODS) nestály v některých kapitolách na pevných základech. Ukázal to spor o financování nepedagogických pracovníků, které chtěla vláda od září přehodit na sa...

Já už opravdu nevím jak na toto reagovat... je to asi ze strany odcházející vlády Petra Fialy symbolické nakopnutí do zadní části těla celé vědecké obce... Stav financování základního výzkumu v ČR je strašlivý, letos dostalo podporu jen 14 % projektů.

1/5 Uctění Dominika Duky přeletovou formací vojenských letounů nad katedrálou mi připadá spíš nevhodné a symbolicky problematické.

Duka nebyl vojákem, dokonce ani vysokým státním úředníkem, politikem, nebo člověkem, kterému náleží pocta státního pohřbu, tak proč takové pocty?

Motoristická očista akademického vzdělání od humanitních oborů Motoristé by chtěli zrušit domněle zbytečné obory. Možná by jim ale pomohly pochopit, co se okolo nich děje.

"Na nevědomosti a předsudečnosti založený vztah mainstreamové české veřejnosti k humanitním vědám je jedním z největších regresů totalitní minulosti a fatálním neporozuměním světu, v němž žijeme. Bytosti, které nechápou, co druhý říká, ani co samy říkají, ztrácejí status svobodných individuí."

Odkaz Dominika Duky: církev jako služebnice kapitálu a národa.

"Způsob, jímž Duka ukotvil českou katolickou církev jako korporaci a jak silně ji duchovně zpolitizoval směrem k národoveckému, obranářskému katolicismu, dobře zapadá do současného celosvětového vzmachu oligarchie a autoritářství."
