Our latest editorial, coordinated by @rlacassin.bsky.social, has just been published.
It's about the use of #AI in academic research, more particularly in scientific publishing. It presents our related guidelines and opinions of several Tektonika team members. ⚒️

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

This is Alex Pretti.
This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

Two different agents are visibly firing their guns, with at least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground. The current videos of the shooting only show these two agents with guns drawn.

I asked this to a generalist #AI chatbot (LeChat):
"I have a question about your training data and scientific articles you can access / read. I see that you can cite articles openly accessible on the web. Do you have access to the thousands articles that are under paywalls?"
Answer NO 👇

AI-induced cultural stagnation is no longer speculation − it’s already happening

The authors call this a paradox but it is anything but: generative AI, with its ability to quickly generate paper-shaped objects, is just an accelerant in a system that was already rewarding widget production over innovation.

AI tools boost individual scientists but could limit research as a whole
Analyses of hundreds of thousands of papers in the natural sciences reveal a paradox: scientists who use AI tools produce more research but on a more confined set of topics.

Yes, he's a senile racist madman + and orange clown. But people around him are racist and mad, but not senile. Dear Americans, you have to impeach the whole group. Hit the big RESET button please.
The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
