A sentence is worth a thousand pictures: can large language models understand hum4n L4ngu4ge and the W0rld behind W0rds?
" To assess this, we ran a novel leet task (l33t t4sk), which requires decoding sentences in which letters are systematically replaced by numbers. In line with our hypothesis, the results suggest that humans excel in this task, whereas models struggle."

petersuberUpdate. Another article made it through peer review (at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) leading with two false generalizations, that (all or most) #OpenAccess journals charge #APCs and that (all or most) paid APCs are paid by authors.

Most OA journals are #DiamondOA and charge no APCs.

Most paid APCs are paid by funders or employers, not by authors out of pocket. (Footnote: The evidence is clearer for the global north than the global south.)

On the plus side, the article reports that in field of orthopaedic surgery, OA articles have higher citation counts and altmetric scores than non-OA articles.

Il saggio sulla rivista #AltreModernità esamina la sentenza UK 2025 sull’Equality Act, attraversa l'essenzialismo strategico di Lidia Curti e approda alla poesia di #KaeTempest in "Hold Your Own". Un invito alla "casa della differenza" per accogliere ogni pluralità.

Wikimedia Community IrelandA recent study shows that updating #Wikipedia pages for scientific organizations significantly boosts public trust and credibility. When experts and editors actively improve these entries, readers view the institutions as far more trustworthy.
A fantastic reminder of why our editing community's work matters so much!
Updating Wikipedia pages boosts public trust in scientific organizations, study finds
When an academic thoroughly updated the American Association for Anatomy's Wikipedia page, readers viewed the organization as more credible. A new study suggests experts should actively edit the platform to improve public access to accurate science.
