Oh dear. I was hoping for something more, well, horrific, really. This just isn’t very frightening, is it?

This morning I received the copy-edited version of a paper I recently submitted to a journal. This is always cause for celebration, another step towards publication accomplished! But this time the copy-editor wasn’t human, it was an AI. We have undertaken a light text edit using the tool Paperpal Preflight; […]
At last week’s AI STORIES workshop, Gabriele de Seta led a workshop exploring Butterflies.ai, a social media platform where all the users are AIs. Gathering a group of researchers in a room for a few hours to explore and discuss a specific genAI platform turns out to be a really […]
When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]

Careful! This is the kind of thing that Clay Shirky used as an example of his dismissive attitude towards LiveJournal blogs.

The closest I’ve come, to this lately has been to ask about Gozilla monsters (http://www.livejournal.com/users/fivecats/58077.html) and to point out the great Sesame Street Terror Alert Chart (http://www.livejournal.com/users/fivecats/51977.html).
But, then again, the fates convened and thwarted my plans for a career in academics, and, as such, my blog is decidedly not an academic one and, therefore, doubtless, unread by Mr. Shirky. 🙂

Oh, I know, but hey, I already GOT my PhD, I’m entitled to some silliness now 🙂
Nah, usually I ignore these tests, but I seem to be in a testy mood this week. You should see my collection at Tickle. It’s quite impressive.
