Worth reading for lots of reasons, but particularly because it closes with something I see in my work and travels speaking on writing and AI. Many, maybe most students do not want AI-mediated schooling or lives. We can offer them something better. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

OK so it turns out if you tag everyone in a starter pack, Bluesky suspends your account. Now that I'm back, reposting for visibility!
The Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty community was quite active on Twitter for a time, but lost some steam in the transition to Bluesky. To get things going again, I made a Starter Pack of DMDU people and orgs. Suggestions for additions are welcome! #dmdu #dimdoo

New paper! In sesmo.org/article/view..., we propose a new optimization-based approach for generating scenario sets from simulation models. These scenario sets are small collections of model runs representing the full diversity of the underlying model's full behavior space.

Data visualization is challenging, especially when moving from exploratory purposes (i.e., to discover or understand the data) to explanatory purposes (i.e., communication with others).
In a paper led by @hadjimichael.bsky.social we discuss different visuals iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
