Powerful Scholarly Kitchen piece re centrality of diversity to research & the importance of collaboration to protect scholarship. @tteleen.bsky.social, @rouhiroo.bsky.social, @georgecoops.bsky.social et al #DEI #DefendResearch scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/12/22/g...

“Do not despair. It’s a privilege to despair. Don’t lose sight of the fact that resistance takes a lot of different shapes and you know whatever you are able to do, even if it feels small, is something.” @rouhiroo.bsky.social

"The good children will get lots of gifts. And so, it turns out, will the bad children. "In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children. "That's because Santa judges a child's goodness largely based on parental income." www.youtube.com/watch?v=9orJ...

@amtrak.com - I am 2.5 hours into a (2 hours delayed) train from NY to DC with no heat in my car and not a single comment from staff that OTHER CARS HAD HEAT. Now 15 min away from DC w/another hour drive home and can’t feel my feet. @amtrak.com - make it right #Acela2196 6pm from MYN —> WAS

You know it’s bad when they’re grabbing the blonde white women. #chingaLaMigra

It’s weird to listen to #MTG and be nodding in agreement. #WeirdFeeling #StrangeBedfellows

I got sucked into a convo with a guy who calls taxes "evil extortion," and I'm deeply regretting my choices as I sit here in a super safe neighborhood with great schools and great services... paid for by taxes. #TFP

I’m in the Starbucks like watching a non-boomer pay in cash. What is this rare animal??

Incredibly proud and grateful for @everylibrary.bsky.social support of @defendresearch.bsky.social through it's public signing of the declaration at DefendResearch.org www.infodocket.com/2025/11/17/e... #StandupForScience #DefendResearch #Resist #Censorship #AcademicFreedom

I’ve really had enough of these emotional snowflake bathrooms. #SensitivePlumbing

To the woman wearing soup dumpling socks on the dc metro, I salute you. 🫡

People laugh when you say a good hair stylist is a be all and end all but it’s true. I’ve been going to the same person for a decade and the results show. Her cuts grow out beautifully and she matches your hair to your YOU. Worth weight (and WAIT - 1 hr drive to see her) in gold. #KPopHair

First Christmas tree sighting. It’s offish.

Wait, so #LarrySummers just doesn't use any punctuation, capitalization? He EMAILS (not even texts!) like a 14 year old boy? #FacePalm #WhyDoWeLionizeTheseMen

Where do we draw the line re: #openscience and research being used in ways we don't want via LLMs or elsewhere (like corporate entities monetizing your findings)? #EricYttri takes a more "nihilist" OS is still better for science and if it gets "eaten" by bad actors, it is what it is. #CMUOSS25

Appreciate #EricYttri guidance to IDENTIFY YOUR NEED/problem first bf developing new #AI tools. Seems obvious but often enthusiasm for the new tech puts cart/horse. #BlockChain anyone? #CMUOSS25 #OpenScience

Next up #EricYttri long time #OpenScience advocate and CMU faculty - sharing #AI tool developer like his take on the I and R of FAIR principles: "I" can also be integrable and "R" can be "richly described" (strong documentation) #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

#WhiteHouseAIR&DStrategy - they did a public comment - #OSI partnered with Open Forum of AI which brings academics/researchers into the policy discussion -commented - recommended access to open datasets, development of OS AI - many of @mhmdhsini.bsky.social recs. #CMUOSS25 #OpenScience

#whiteHouseAIActionPlan as relates to #opensource - want full stack AI package run by Dept of Commerce to get ROW to adopt American AI export packages. Doesn't directly mention OS but #OSI will push OS as part of that export package. #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

Data sharing piece was most controversial in #OSI process for defining #opensource aligning with four freedoms: use, share, modify, study. #OpenData policy of funders like NIH helps inform the approach to pushing for open data in #OpenSource definition for AI: #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

#OSI wanted a def as a first step to certify if #GenAI is truly "open." V1.0 use, study, modify, share = share source code to train and create data set, complete list of data used, and actual dataset, model weights, and parameters. #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

As #GenAI has exploded, #OSI has looked four freedoms application to AI. What does true OS AI look like: engaged in global co-design process across the globe to determine how to do this, Sloan funded; #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

Up next #OpenSourceInitiative - in 90s focused on approving licenses that meet true OS definition. Use, study, modify, share = "certified open source" - now focus on education policy makers re: what OS is. #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

Can #GenAI be a true friend? No says Mohammad Hosseini w/o certain conditions: 1. genuinely open models - weights, code, training data, licenses 2. more investment in AI literacy - not just using but how to critique, audit, evaluate 3. open training materials to spread literacy globally

Much of #GenAI knowledge comes from #OpenScience #CMUOSS25 behaviors - we share openly but corps benefits and don't share but profit. Common knowledge should be transparent and collectively owned. Weakens sense of human agency in knowledge creation process and accountability. #OpenScience

As #genAI footprint increases, independence does NOT come into the ecosystem with the need for specific infrastructure, expertise. As a researcher using truly open models you still rely on infrastructure controlled by a few companies. Corporate dependence undermines spirit of #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

What does #GenAI NOT do for #openscience? OPENNESS - most systems are not actually open -- only open weight but not full #opensource and training data, code, licensing but are closed. You cannot retrain or redistribute. #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

Many researchers can prompt GPT but few can evaluate for bias, accuracy. These folks are based in rich countries - new #DigitalDivide; Can enhance data, code, protocols but same risks: accuracy, unnecessarily complex solutions, code plagiarism #OpenScience #CMUOSS25

#GenAI can enable cross-disc collabs, discovery new overlaps with other fields. See#EuropeanComission report: publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h... but mostly benefits the Global North folks who already have resource. #OpenScience #equity

#cmuoss25 Mohammad Hosseini #GenAI can accelerate discovery by lowering the bar/cost entry into research -- less $$ needed. BUT it also increases the risk of errors. Moving faster with less patience/time/expertise to verify #OpenScience cset.georgetown.edu/publication/...

Gen AI consumes #openscience as raw fuel - how do we avoid losing that value to private, closed, corporate benefit only? It's a catch 22. #CMUOpenScience Mohammad Hosseini speaking on #openscience in #GenAI. Really dilemmas we have to address head on.

#ArturoMontejoRáez #Feynbot AI sitting on top of 50 years of peer review particle physics. #OAI14

Need a loop or @orcid.org account, a methodology doc explaining how data was collected (this is usually not directly attached to the data), tidy/structured data able (ideally with robust metadata). @senscience.bsky.social platform hosts #Clara. AI Data steward. #SeanHill #OAI14 #openscience

@senscience.bsky.social attempts to answer this question: easy, valuable, new norm. Developed FAIR2 Data Management - Frontiers publishing is backing. Aim is to make all data FAIR, AI-ready, and aligned with responsible AI principles - future ready to useful ML. #SeanHill #OAI14 #openscience

#SeanHill #OAI14 #openscience biased toward publications and figures - carefully crafted by the data creator. True transparency requires #OpenData - so how do we make this easy/valuable/norm in science, across fields?

#SeanHill #OAI14 #openscience - Many scientists want to share in principle but it's difficult, tools are poor, rules aren't clear, no incentives, cultural/structural barriers are real. Very field specific but still la major issue. Shocking given that data is where the insights come from.

#OpenData research data loss funnel #SeanHill #OAI14 - for every 100 datasets generated, only 1 is shared + FAIR + Cited. Only 1% of research data reaches this gold standard. The investment in generating the data is lost. Delays opportunities/potential/discovery. Why is it lost?

Neuroscientist/computational modeler Dr. Sean Hill @senscience.bsky.social Prof EPFL, Univ of Toronto, international union of pure/applied physics #OpenScience - "where do you find the data that's useful, relevant meaningful constrain a computational model?" Challenge in his work #OAI14 #SeanHill

Italy has just launched comprehensive #AI legislation in alignment with EU but actually goes further to protect human creativity (Concrete, unique creative effort) - Leading example of a national law that goes further in protecting creators. #OAI14 #AI #openscience

Ethical challenges when #AI are trained on #opensource #CCBY licenses? Very concrete cases where #OpenData have been reused in ways authors would probably sanction. #PostOpenSource era pushes for ethical uses only -- will be interesting to see how this plays out. #OAI14 #YanivBenhamou

#YanivBenhamou #OAI14 - be aware of share-alike (SA) clauses - contract mgmt is key.

#YanivBenhamou #OAI14 - takeaways: 1. Upstream SA terms propagate to training data sets but copyright change might brake once the model is created (depends on German vs. UK court) 2. AI vendors incentivized to use SA models.

#YanivBenhamou #OAI14 - Trained model does NOT contain/reproduce its training data, fully or partially (but there might be "traces"). SA terms thus arguably DO NOT propagate to the trained model - as the latter is not a software derivative of its training data (but legal landscape shifting quickly)
