🤖 AI in Academia – Gamechanger or Risk?
How often do you use tools like #ChatGPT, Perplexity, Highspace, or ResearchRabbit in your work? #AI can speed up data analysis, boost literature search, and spark new ideas, but it also comes with risks like hallucinations, stereotypes, and unreliable data.

🥂 Congrats to @yecidortega.bsky.social‬ for publishing his monograph „Pluriversal Applied Linguistics“.

🙏 Based on his work in a marginalized community in Colombia, it advocates for more socially just linguistic education.

Hömma! Schön datte da bis!

Ruhrdeutsch is the regional dialect spoken by the locals in the Ruhr Area (sometimes also referred to as the "Ruhrpott"), where #LL16 will be hosted.
A black and white map of Germany zoomed in to the region known as the Ruhrgebiet. The city of Essen is most prominent. Over the map are the words 'Hömma! Schön, datte da bis!' The frame of the image is a burnt orange color, reminiscent of rust.
