Have you ever been to Frisland? How about Buss Island? Probably not, given they do not exist.

Phantom islands are places that exist only on maps, often appearing as errors, illusions, or unverified sightings by early explorers.

Discover a list of phantom islands ➡️ w.wiki/F6Rf

Historic map of the South Shetland Islands, labeling Livingston, Deception, and surrounding features in fine detail. Text says: Some places only exist in the minds of sailors or the ink of old maps. A phantom island is a landmass that appeared on charts for years – or centuries – before being proven not to exist.

Re-upping for today's PM crowd: among other things, a suggestion (demand, maybe?) that we actually model the critical thinking we want to foster in our students.

My latest column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed is now live. It's an argument for including AI-critical voices in campus conversations and policymaking workgroups, and I'm proud to get this dissenting piece into the mainstream genAI/higher ed discourse. Please read and share if you're so inclined 🙂

Great to see our research on the @authorsalliance.bsky.social blog as I feel I've spent my career trying to help people understand why copyright matters and why they should not fear it!

Authors Alliance @authorsalliance.bsky.social · 22d

How confident are authors about their rights related to copyright? Is the fear of navigating copyright preventing non-infringing ‘user’ activities? How can we mitigate the damage caused by copyright anxiety and chill?
