We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵
Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.
Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

Qualquer empresa de segurança criada por ex-policiais que querem enriquecer tem milhares de biometrias faciais. Quanto tempo até alguma delas falir e vender esses dados para bandidos ou eles mesmos criarem a operação de criar contas falsas?

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it?
Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying.

New paper on AI out in @frontiersin.bsky.social journal. Unfortunately, although the authors disclose their use of AI to write the paper about AI, they do so in a way that demonstrates the worst of AI-generated research.

pior que eu não sei exatamente o caso de Paris mas todos os casos que cidades que já estudei sobre cidades fazendo a transição proibir uso de carro particular e incentivar meios alternativos de transporte sempre são recebidos com revolta pela população e imprensa.
Será que a imprensa de Paris passou os últimos 20 anos diariamente falando que a Anne Hidalgo estava destruindo a mobilidade da cidade, amaldiçoando cada metro de ciclovia construindo, contabilizando cadê euro gasto em urbanização, dizendo que ela só governa pro centro expandido?
“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.
Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”
Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

No, really, economists and computer scientists (much to my chagrin) have a long history (ahem) of seeing a "problem" in another field, running in, grabbing the first thing that looks like a data source, quantifying it, applying sketchy analysis, and trumpeting the results.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because
a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked
b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
