Creative commons licenses and copyright may not stop academic work being used to train AI - Impact of Social Sciences
Considering the legal standing of creative commons licenses & copyright, Martin Eve suggests legal protections for academic work are unlikely to be forthcoming.

Oops. Seems the quoted post in the post I quoted has now been deleted. Most likely due to overwhelming critical response.
I knew students would be tempted, and most likely did (particularly as some skipped the whole "log in to the University library first" instruction and went to Google, with embedded Gemini on it), but I was not going to be the one to tell them to use it to compare. Sod that.
In my literature review tutorial this term students had to design strategies for search for literature on uses of LLMs for literature review across databases and then compare results. The exercise intentionally did not include GenAI chatbots (say ChatGPT).
Sorry, but why does every single person who thinks of this believe they’re the only person in the world to think of this? FWIW, as others have said, yes, students can and will use LLMs to reflect on the LLM’s initial response. (That’s also not what a primary source is but whatever.)
Ditto.

Saying "this is just another periodical platform shift" doesn't quite cover nor justify the significant singularities of the AI (but really what people mean is GenAI) phenomenon

Always interesting there is zero mention on how exactly "AI" works, the resources it requires, the actual social costs of simply replacing "interns" with automation, etc.

I concur.

I share this _here_ because it's about _here_.
Even after all these years I am amazed at how social media has blurred, redefined previous boundaries between the private and the public- stuff you used to tell / ask only your closest and dearest is now posted openly to 52.6K followers and it's considered the norm.
"Hyperreality is seen as a condition in which what is real and what is fiction are seamlessly blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins."
Happy Monday. Teaching term week 9 of 11.

Gracias. Sí, vi la cubertura llendo directamente a los respectivos diarios, pero es que en serio buscándole en Google, incluso bajo News, con los términos correctos, nada.
