I installed a browser plugin that changes "AI" to "sauna" and while I might be living a lie at least that part of the world feels like it makes sense once again. "This sauna-focused health stock is a buy that can rally nearly 50%." "University opens new sauna center to promote student success"

What is the point of this Files box in OSF? Does it ever display any files? Is there a way to remove it or get something to appear in it? #datalibs

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

The fact that they write “permanent modern digital records” tells us that they know absolutely nothing about digital preservation

"The move appears to drop nearly 400 of the library’s roughly 2000 journals, including many prominent in various agricultural subfields—but curiously none from the world’s three largest scientific publishers, all of which are for-profit." #medlibs 📚 www.science.org/content/arti...

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Any #medlibs dealing with glitchy citation network tools in Scopus ? Look at a record's reference list, and want to see the times that one of those references has been cited, so I click on the 'Cited 542 times.' Instead of viewing the 542 references, I'm taken to a list of 17 references instead.

just no. What's the fucking point of any of it if you just offload it to an LLM? And how many of those papers were also written by GenAI? Writing is thinking.
