I wrote this essay on the pleasure of making and enjoying art the hard way a few years ago. Now, as AI takes over so much creative work, it seems even more to the point: irinadumitrescu.substack.com/p/what-do-we...

So proud 😍3 weeks in a row @lucimcummings.bsky.social has got jokes on Breaking The News. This time it was even a joke about sportsball (and more predictably, death)!

Researchers have suggested that children who regularly eat fish could be more sociable and kind than their peers. Psychologists say it depends on what other pets they eat for afters. #BTNRejects #BTNNB

Mark Carney has hinted at wanting to diversify Canada’s trade away from the US and towards "more reliable" options – like professional poker, Bitcoin scams, or just setting fire to money. #BTNNB #BTNRejects

Some have argued that the Bond franchise is long past its best, but Amazon claims it’s still very much in its Prime. #BTNRejects #BTNNB

Enjoying the new 'Linux Terminal' #Debian VM that comes bundled with the March #Android update to my #Pixel phone. Especially now that I've found where to access the phone's shared downloaded files, and more importantly installed a decent #XSLT processor. @michaelhkay.bsky.social

There seems to be international collaborative funding for AHRC-NEH and AHRC-DFG but I've yet to see AHRC-SSHRC, which is a shame because there are people in Canada with whom I'd really like to collaboratively research. 😢 I suppose I should look around other international funding bodies.

I adore this article. It is an in-depth look at why me not being able to fix a typo destroyed my understanding of digital bibliography. So thrilled to see its final stages. 🩵💜❤️ I wrote this around the time I admitted a research position would never happen for me. This is def a great way to go.

The output from #LLMs for sustained academic writing still remains 'meh'. There are cases where student writing is far worse than that. But if they don't go through the process, then they'll never get better than 'meh'. Many of them don't care.

Another use for LLM AI like the senior "I can't remember the word, but I can describe it", is when your wife 'knows' a word in a foreign language that you don't recognise (though you were both once moderately fluent), but she learnt in spoken context as a child and so doesn't know how to spell it.
