Two PhD fellowships (stipendiatstillinger) in participatory media have just been advertised at the University of Oslo. One’s in MMOGs (or more specifically multi-user games with a strong degree of visual realism), the other is about new political arenas such as blogs. Here’s the full text of the advertisement. You need an MA or equivalent and a good idea to apply.

    those PhD fellowships sounds really interesting. The full text advertisement seems to me available only in Norwegian, is it possible to apply also for foreigners?

    Luca, I think non-Norwegians can apply. Try emailing one of the contact people in the ad (there are email addresses at the top of the advertisement, any of them will do) and I’m they’ll answer your questions.

Grammarly generated fake expert reviews “by” real scholars

Grammarly is a full on AI plagiarism machine now, generating text, citations (often irrelevant), “humanizing” the text to avoid AI checkers and so on. If you’re an author or scholar, they also have been impersonating and offering “feedback” in your name. Until yesterday, when they discontinued the Expert Review feature due to a class action lawsuit. Here are screenshots of how it worked.
