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

Challenges of Large Language Models for Education"

@SchnepfUwe

How can AI-powered language models (like ChatGPT) be useful for researchers in the environmental sciences?

This is work in progress....but I think there are exciting opportunities here (updated).

The Ecological Mind: Matthias' substack
Was super nice to have @carstenwmueller around yesterday at the Soil Biology Group in Wageningen! Finally, we could catch up πŸ˜†. What a day 🀩!
@JWvanGroenigen Couldn't agree more πŸ˜†
Being 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...

Some 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.

If 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.
