Oh, I’m so sorry. He was so gorgeous and always looked so soulful.

Author Steven Vickers wrote on Threads, "To confirm, this '100% AI generated' passage is the opening of Chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I think authors are going to get screwed in these AI witch hunts."

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

I'm sorry but wtf is this image. Palladium fraternizing with niobium? Bismuth cavorting with fluorine? Dogs and cats, living together?

Attended a fantastic panel discussion this evening by women in journalism across Mississippi. Interesting to think about the parallels of science (teaching and research) and journalism in getting to and communicating the truth.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

EDU Core Research: Building Capacity in STEM Education Research

Looks like this opportunity has been archived. Would love to know about any other programs aimed at training scientists in education research or otherwise bridging the gap between teaching practitioners and education research (in higher ed).
