Should people who need to 'run numbers' without being 'fully trained in stats' use a text regurgitator that cannot run numbers? Or do you mean this as an extension to the comment on coding assistance, essentially using chatgpt the way folks used to use stackoverflow?

Entirely typical, and IMO demonstrating that it is rarely if ever useful to count stuff by years. I've ranted about this a while back because the Elsevier Pure system sticks their cursed little histograms in everyone's face at universities around the world ideophone.org/a-rant-about...

I think the source offers a pretty plausible analysis: "These compounds do not bring food to needy populations, but rather entice, under conditions of severe duress, some portions of these populations into remote and highly militarized settings." dataverse.harvard.edu/file.xhtml?f...

Bij het uitzoeken van de pindakaasvraag (in welk gezin is die niet gesteld) vond ik het leuk om te ontdekken dat het hoogstwaarschijnlijk in Suriname begon — en dat Bharos Pindakaas (uit 1944, vier jaar ouder dan Calvé) nog steeds bestaat. De enige echte? Dat is die uit Paramaribo!

I kind of like Aalto's "Nothing new here, actually" approach www.aalto.fi/en/services/...

Thank you! That one also has an excellent list of links at the end, where I find this quite sensible guidance from Glasgow: www.gla.ac.uk/research/str...

the perks of academia — right up there with spending some quality time with editorial manager trying to log in

well that's something at least, for the three people (authors included) that OUP will allow to lay their eyes on that PDF 😜
but seriously I hope you're throw it online in a repository and on your website as is your right
comment in response to
post
yup...
curious: did OUP rob chapters of their own bibliography as well for these handbooks, pretending it's better to have only a combined bib for the whole volume? (they do this to limit portability & sharing)
editors have some power to say no to this but it's up to them if they notice in time

Actually I'm sure you need the offprint for a tenure review and once you have it I would appreciate a copy

Also, let me know if OUP is sending you author offprints
(See here why: ideophone.org/oxford-unive... )

"But GenAI is already disrupting education" — what if it is doing so by encouraging shallow takes & deskilling, as many well-informed scholars (notably the ones you're responding to) have been arguing in print? E.g. philpapers.org/archive/FORT...

Not to say the funding system cannot be improved; I think more basic funding not tied to competive schemes would be good. Perhaps a charitable interpretation of the paper is to tell seniors who have permanent jobs *not* to apply for grants so that there are more opportunities for juniors
comment in response to
post
Hmm. 1: juniors apply for grants to have income in the first place so the zero sum game doesn't make sense. 2: by this blind economic measure (h invested over $ income with some virtual breakeven point) nobody should write, play music, or do anything truly interesting (let's all be consultants?)

Good: "AI writing is designed to never be read again. It’s fast-food writing. (...) It feels nice on first chew. It feels correct on a skim. But if you read it twice, you’d wonder if it had any real meaning at all. If you chew it multiple times, you begin to taste the plastic."

*raises hand*
I've noticed that enthusiasts assume this means I must be unaware of how amazing (they think) LLMs are. Mindful and well-informed* non-use appears not to occur to them as a possibility

En @universiteitennl.bsky.social je spreekt niet voor ons, met je 'aantrekkelijke werkgever blijven'. Aantrekkelijk voor wie? We verdienen genoeg, wie meer wil gaat maar lekker naar KPMG ofzo. Unis moeten aantrekkelijk zijn voor iedereen die er mag werken, niet alleen een omhooggevallen toplaag.

I mean it is incompatible with any blogging as far as I am concerned but what do I know, perhaps there are synthetic text sado masochists

I bet there are exact parallels to this piece in 1930s German newspapers. It screams leave me alone, take those naughty activists first, I will comply, promise, I am so professional at complying

Is this happening to OUP Handbook of Iconicity too? I warned the editors, and told them it is in their power to resist!

thank you for the pointed illustration of strategic non-disclosure of sources we've identified in AI and NLP
we will be glad to return the favour

The money quote: "[in a repository] it’s then easily downloaded by any number of people and made widely available – and that is the issue. I think strictly speaking we’d also rather you didn’t, for instance, share it by email with students and colleagues"
Oxford University Press speaking!

Interestingly similar to Berlin's The Hedgehog and the Fox (1953), though obviously written for a different audience assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/s99...
The animals chosen are different enough that they could generate something like the D&D alignment axes (lawful<>chaotic, good<>evil)
