Lawlessness and cruelty of Europe today.

For years people have been illegally sent back from #Italy to #Greece in secret prisons on private ships.

After months of investigating, we’ve found where asylum seekers, including children, are being detained.

If I had time, I'd start a TikTok account called "fast recipes for babies, for people who don't have time to cook because they have babies", and explain how to wean your baby by cooking 3 minutes every meal and then go back writing &teaching

@erinnacland @academicchatter

just to drive the point home: the fact that there are 81 scholars who publish an article every 5 days means that journal publication has now been completely gamified & the most prolific researchers are just optimizing to win the game.

This is Goodhart's law in action: publication is now more signal than noise for quality scholarship.

the question is whether the scholarly community acknowledges this & changes it's standards of assessment.

Generative AI: Not a Savior Nor a Frankenstein Monster

The debate surrounding this new technology either wildly overhypes the benefits or hyperbolically catastrophizes the potential dangers.
