1) Springer editors got these days an email that "Large Language Models (LLM), do not currently satisfy our authorship criteria". Other publishers seem to be already accepting ChatGP as a co-author (Hint: it's the greedy bad boy of scientific publishers. For more surrealism, the paper is not open access) (1)
2) @mrillig wrote down some ideas in his substack:

3) and there is this paper
"ChatGPT for Good? On Opportunities and
Challenges of Large Language Models for Education"

JWvanGroenigenBeing brilliant is a pretty good trait to have as a scientist (not that I would know....), but sometimes I think that the judgment to know when to do a very good job and when to-do a quick half-assed job just to check the boxes is even more important..... Don't you agree, @AlixVidal?
On a totally unrelated note: working on the umpteenth Deliverable of a European project.... In addition to several Milestones, Practice Abstracts, mandatory reports, etc. All at the cost of article writing time...

Chris TrottierSome people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.
Not the case.
It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.
Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.
By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.
So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

Dr. Robert RohdeIf it is not literally the warmest year ever, someone will complain that global warming has stopped.
Year-to-year fluctuations are a normal part of the ongoing global warming trend. Don't be distracted by the noise.
