I made this years ago, seems evergreen!

Elever møter ALDRI forholdene under eksamen i arbeidslivet der man sitter tett i idrettshall med opp til 2500 andre med null hjelpemidler. At en person m angst trenger skjerming, en med dysleksi ekstra lesetid eller en reumatiker et tastatur bør være null problem - det ville de fått i arbeidslivet.

"the Commission acknowledges that proprietary software hinders the achievement of digital sovereignty" YES! #openscience

The Commission’s Open Source Strategy is Europe’s most significant step to date in utilizing open source to achieve a sovereign and resilient digital future, write members of OpenForum Europe, outlining opportunities for making the strategy as impactful as possible.

Brussels sets out an ambitious cross-sector plan to reduce Europe’s dependence on foreign technology, spanning cloud services, semiconductors and AI, while pairing new regulatory tools with investment and industrial policy to expand domestic capacity, reports Ramsha Jahangir.

States are rolling out generative AI tools to thousands of public employees, but governance and transparency standards often lag behind deployment, writes Javaid Iqbal Sofi. He discusses the sharply different approaches in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Colorado, and California.

Under the banner of “simplification” and “reducing administrative burdens,” the EU is dismantling the rights-based digital framework it spent a decade constructing—mistaking a retreat from accountability for a leap toward innovation, argues Tech Policy Press contributing editor Amber Sinha.

1️⃣ The EU has placed open source at the heart of its digital policy with the new Tech Sovereignty Package. The @ec.europa.eu Commission now admits that heavy reliance on proprietary software creates a strategic vulnerability for the bloc. 🇪🇺 #OpenSource #EUPol 🗞️ @techpolicypress.bsky.social

The European Commission's tech sovereignty package is finally here. Some genuinely positive ideas, some unanswered questions, and a few concerns about what this could mean for the future of the open internet. www.komaitis.org/write-share-... #TechSovereignty #TechPolicy #OpenInternet #EU

Hadde sommerfest med jobben i går og... Jeg jobber faen meg på et bra sted i akademia! Og da mener jeg ikke bra bare fordi det ikke skjer noen trakassering, men fordi det er aktivt inkluderende, faglig stimulerende og inspirerende. Jeg føler meg trygg, støttet og del av et fellesskap. 💚

- In regions where English is a second language - At lower-ranked and unranked institutions - At high-volume for-profit publishers like MDPI and Frontiers - In fields like computer science, business, and law, while math, philosophy, and history lagged furthest behind

In 2023, about 12% of papers showed signs of LLM influence. By 2025, an estimated 57%. Importantly, this 57% involves a great deal of heterogenity; ranging from scholars who don't use AI, but recycle text from other AI-influenced articles, to articles mostly generated by AI.

New article in @pnas.org: We all know ChatGPT loves to delve, bolster, leverage, encompass, showcase, underscore, et cetera. I analyzed full text of 7.3 million journal articles published 2020-2025, hunting for 228 words that spiked after ChatGPT launched in late 2022. 🧵⬇️

Sååå.. vi skal bare fortsette å gjøre ting vanskeligere for folk som allerede har det vanskelig, eller er det noe annet ved dette som jeg ikke forstår? Vi skal fortsatt lage disse undervisningsressursene, vi skal bare la færre få nytte av dem..?

meg som hører om Sommerles.no: fin idé, men spillmekanismene er litt primitive da. syvåringen: - hekta på å levle opp raskere enn kameraten - begynner med halvtime egenlesing på senga - tre bibliotekbesøk på en uke ok kanskje bra det her.

Hei, Pernille! Ser du leser meg. Her kan jeg berolige deg! Min påstand om profiler som kun kverulerer på mine poster om transfolk var ikke et resultat av "tro" men av å se på historikken deres. Altså empiri, ikke "selvhenføring". PS: Normalt og kult at du som lege slenger diagnoser over SoMe!

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

Preparing a talk on digital methods for humanities students tomorrow, this time around going 'from archives to datasets', so yet again I'm recommending the 'data quality' chapter from the Collective Wisdom handbook. The questions are as pertinent as ever! britishlibrary.pubpub.org/pub/working-...

European alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft Office launches on 9 June: free, open source and online, using existing building blocks. An important step in freeing ourselves from US control. www.zdnet.com/article/euro...

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Everybody in the comments is waiting for the rice truck to show up 😍😂😄

we are home! The scaffolding appears to be complete on the intended house. there is no scaffolding on any other house. there is, however, the beginnings of scaffolding at the pub. and I know they aren’t getting solar

our neighbours are getting solar panels so the scaffolders showed up last week, and proceeded to install the scaffolding on the wrong house, so they came back today and dismantled it and are now reinstalling it on a different wrong house

I Knew It, I Knew You, but it's girls who start liking pink and glitter again as adults

In particular, open research/science/data or what the closing keynoter speaker Ginny Barbour called "showing your working/homework" is going to have to be a big part of the solution. Another speaker Joris Van Rossum from STM research intergrity hub (4)

"The gen ai" issue. May speakers including @ianmulvany.bsky.social made essentially the same observation. AI is just making the flaws that already existed in our sys much more salient & critical. He drew a parallel to how LLMs exploiting software just exposed what bugs was already there(2).

Hva er en bok? Jeg har sittet på biblioteket og lest ebok på telefonen.

On June 11, 2:30pm AEST // 10am IST, @specksofthings.bsky.social and I are hosting an Online Office Hour during #IAW2026, the theme of which is #ArchivesForJustice.

"But, two years since its launch, the site has around just 10% of X’s estimated global users." This is presented as a failure. At 2yo, having 10% of the users of its biggest rival, which is 20yo, is a failure. No tech is allowed to just be a success, it has to be a blockbuster or it doesn't count.

1. How common is LLM use in scientific publishing, and how does it vary across field, publisher, journal prestige, author demographics etc.? @kylesiler.bsky.social has new paper in PNAS that addresses this question on a massive scale: 7.3 million papers from Elsevier, PLOS, MDPI, and Frontiers.

7. The field-specific uptake of LLMs is fascinating. CS loves it of course. So does business and marketing.

8. Math and philosophy are "hell nah". (Anyone remember the XKCD field purity strip?)

9. Here's a surprise: controlling for the other covariates (correct me if I have that wrong, Kyle), we see the *most* LLM use in the high impact journals, not low impact journals.

11. Addendum: here are the words characteristic of LLMs. Notice anything? It reads like an email from our upper administration.

Om man trenger å vite «retning» kan man ha et frivillig spørsmål om tildelt kjønn ved fødsel (mann/kvinne evt. intersex). Og om man trenger å vekte mot folkeregisterdata kan man ha frivillig spørsmål om folkeregistrert kjønn. Spørsmål knyttet til seksuell orientering bør være helt adskilt.

Hæ. Når og hvor kommer studentene til å møte et arbeidsliv der de ikke kan få en time ekstra til å skrive ferdig en tekst. I vg dott no kanskje. Men hvor ellers. Når og hvor ellers?

Anti-trans organisasjonen LHB Norge har hatt årsmøte og på slutten av møtet har de hatt en "åpen samtale" som er fascinerende. De vil ikke være kjent som anti trans... Mens den lille politiske aktiviteten de har hatt KUN handler om å være anti trans. 🤘 Kudos til Oslo Pride BTW 👏

Our letter of concern about the Finnish study is now published in Acta Paediatrica. The Finnish study has received a total of 5 letters/commentaries, so far. Most of the overlapping concerns are statistical/methodological. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Veldig godt skrevet kronikk. Særlig delen om hvilke temaer som behandles som kunnskapsfelt, og hva som reduseres til meningsinnhold er så spot on. www.adressa.no/debatt/i/j0L...

Forresten: Konsensus i transforskningsmiljøet ser ut til å være at riktig måte å gjøre det på er at spørsmålet i seg selv er frivillig, og at de tre alternativene er mann, kvinne og ikke-binær.
