"When people search for information online today, they are presented with an array of options, and they can judge for themselves which results are reliable. A chat #AI like #ChatGPT removes that “human assessment” layer and forces people to take results at face value, says Chirag Shah."

Hold on:

After about 2 months here, a big part of my (work) life is on #mastodon:

My research school: @UvA_ASCoR
My association: @ICAHDQ
My academy: @KNAW
My labs: @aim4dem @DDC_SDU @algosoc @cpc
My media: @volkskrant @NOSRSS @[email protected] etc

And many colleagues @communicationscholars @PolComm #momentum 👏

3 things are game changers going forward 🎺 :
1) all moving the main posting and engagement here;
2) setting own institutionally supported instances (several plans in the make);
3) more diversity!

Hannes Mühleissen keynote at #CIDR2023

Awesome place to announce his new role as professor of data engineering at #Radboud University!

The good (postgres), the bad (incomplete academic prototypes) and the Duckling, a talk about system's research.

Met input van mijzelf en Radboud collega's Bernard van Gastel en Frederik Zuiderveen Borgesius @Frederik_Borgesius voor het script. Niet in beeld helaas/gelukkig 😁.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps.

EDIT: Replies tell me that this doesn't function in the UK without a VPN.

Merry Christmas everyone.

#introduction
Hi everyone, I'm Max Kemman, I'm a policy researcher/consultant with Dialogic. I work on science, higher education and heritage, where I specialise in policies related to digitalisation of these sectors. Looking forward to discuss digital infrastructures, open science, digital education and digital heritage here.

Besides that I completed my PhD on Digital History and I still dabble with discussions on digital humanities and how it is enacted by scholars.
