Outside academia, people aren’t well informed about PhD research – and that’s a problem There’s low public awareness of how research is funded.

'What stood out was the disconnect perceived between the “academic” and “real” world.'

A coffee from a cafe is already absurdly over priced. The idea that the tiny scoop of beans required to make it costs 25¢ more due to the fuel cost to transport it is even more absurd.

Charge me a 5% surcharge and never see me again.

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

How many journalists, for instance, are using Grammarly: a piece of software that ACTIVELY DEMANDS YOU INSERT FABRICATED QUOTES INTO YOUR ARTICLES

Screenshot of an AI detector showing, with high certainty, that the Anthropic report was written by a human.

Is it just me or is it interesting that Anthropic's report on AI use in the workplace was written by a human, not by their own AI?

Not now, fireball from outer space. You’ll want to wait for a slow news day.

Because they need some non-journalism content to mix in with journalism content?

Absolutely nuts. I fired up Google Gemini and asked it a bunch of questions about my own field — areas I know really well, that I write and publish in.

Literally the first paper that it told me about had a hallucinated author name

Just ask chat? Why are LLMs so inaccurate? — Platform Journalism AI is a big deal at the moment. Grants are given to research that involves AI. Job ads are asking for AI knowledge or skills. And the first step in learning for many undergraduates, fresh out of high ...

When 1st year students started casually saying, "I just ask chat" I basically did something like what you did, asked it about my own research area. Every now and then I do another test, though I know that by design LLMs can never ever be 100% accurate.
