How good is it to have a dedicated, publicly funded emergency broadcaster? Grateful to all the ABC local radio teams, keeping us company, making sure we're informed and connected, and bringing comfort to their communities this morning, as #tcalfred finally crosses the coast.
Ah, it all becomes clear. DOGE's attack on waste is an attack on W.A.S.T.E. Time to unmute the post horn 📯🗑️
From @drmarkcarrigan.bsky.social "The choices academics make now, how we think and talk about the new possibilities which are opening up, alongside many others, will shape the nature of the AI university" @lseblogs.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...
The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Generative AI and the future of academic writing and publishing. This project examines the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies on scholarly research and publishing. The project investigates how GenAI technologies are shaping the future of academic research from search to publication, including how academic publishers and peak research advisory bodies are responding to the potential of these technologies. The project develops a framework for understanding the sociotechnical drivers shaping the debate and establishes cross-sector principles to promote a more consistent and critical response by key stakeholders. In doing so, it supports ongoing learning within scholarly communities for a more responsive national research system, optimising GenAI for public good.
Super excited about our successfully funded #ARC Discovery #DP25 application on GenAI and the future of academic writing and publishing, led by @riedlinm.bsky.social, with Jake Goldenfein, @jeanburgess.bsky.social, & Aaron Snoswell. Get ready to hear lots more about Research GenAI or #RGAI from us!
