#ChatGPT & Co seem to make research easier. But in reality, they fuel the publish-or-perish race, push admins to demand more papers, more grants, more outputs, erode the very idea of scholarly work:

Embrace slow #science – quality over quantity.
Resist AI-driven academic exploitation – don’t let universities use #AI to push researchers harder.
Reclaim meaningful #scholarship – real discussions, critical thinking, true collaboration.
Maggot McFearIMO, they're all just producing slightly improved versions of the same, limited things, but pretending (or hoping) it will somehow be more.
Even Thomas Wolf of Hugging Face (a community platform for machine learning and GAI tools and models) is aware how lackluster it's all becoming.
"current AI development paradigms won’t yield AI capable of outside-the-box, creative problem-solving"
“We don’t need an A+ [AI] student who can answer every question with general knowledge. We need a B student who sees and questions what everyone else missed.”

Getting ready for the upcoming semester's #IoT course here at #ITU -
and doing some quick quiz with #DeepSeek , to see whether the new kid on the thieves' block would pass my exam.
Result: it s about as useless as #ChatGPT. Many factual errors, #hallucinations on key questions of #physics, #sensors, #LoRa, LoRaWAN, general #wireless.
#DeepSeek, con código abierto, #hardware anticuado, y un #costo y consumo de #RecursosNaturales brutalmente menor, demostraría lo que todos sabíamos: que los héroes #empresarios de #Milei, además de parásitos explotadores, son vulgares infladores de precios. Delincuentes comunes.

"In my opinion we have already achieved AGI" - Vahid Kazemi
No you haven't. You've merely demonstrated that there are a lot of humans who are mediocre at a set of tasks.
What you've really done is found a way to potentially withhold future development gains from the agreement you have with Microsoft.

Since Mitt Romney’s loss in the 2012 election,
the Mercers have drifted ever further out of the orbit of Planet Koch,
building up their own entities, including #Breitbart #News,
#Cambridge #Analytica (the data startup),
and the ironically named #Government #Accountability #Institute,
all of them featuring #Steve #Bannon, the self-described economic nationalist, in top slots
—until he joined the White House.
Cambridge Analytica, on whose board Bannon served, and Breitbart, where he was the chief executive, are private companies.
#GAI, which produced the campaign-season book
"Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich", by Peter Schweizer,
is a nonprofit organization.
Schweizer’s book, together with an accompanying movie executive-produced by #Rebekah Mercer, was designed to sully the reputation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
It was part of a Bannon-crafted strategy to steer the sort of smears that usually bubble up from the right-wing fever swamps directly into the mainstream media.
It worked; in 2015 the New York Times and the Washington Post both made exclusive agreements with the GAI to report on advance excerpts of Clinton Cash.
#Bannon was wealthy before he met up with the Mercers,
first through his work as a banker for Goldman Sachs back when it was a privately held company,
and then through his own privately held ventures in movie-making and consulting.
Though Bannon’s wealth, when compared to that of Betsy DeVos, makes him a pipsqueak in the Trump money universe
(assets worth between $12 million and $54 million, according to the New York Times),
it nonetheless derives primarily from privately held entities.

35 % des #hommes bisexuels en couple *avec un autre homme* n'ont jamais parlé de leur bisexualité à ce partenaire. Et seule une minorité d'entre nous est très ouverte ou plutôt ouverte sur sa #bisexualité avec nos partenaires masculins. Ça vient d'ILGA Europe. La norme veut qu'un gars #bisexuel ne parle pas de sa bisexualité, même dans nos relations homme-homme. Tu peux réfléchir à ça en cette journée de la visibilité bisexuelle, en particulier si t'es un mec #gai.

@luis_in_brief Yeah, there are enough move-fast-and-break things stories about #gAI and even consumers have got the memo.
To be fair, I do think it's possible gAI can be used in interesting (and ethical) ways. It's just a challenge for a lot of companies that are using it solely to "save money"
In our little elite tech bubble, we can have lots of opinions. But I'm finding it interesting that how #gAI is being used is now, apparently, showing up as consumer backlash
