New from 404 Media: Trump's tariffs mean the libraries can't get their loaned books back. "They can't ship them back to us because their carrier either is flat out refusing to ship anything to the U.S., or they're citing not being able to handle the tariff situation." www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

Discussing the current state of open educational resources and e-textbooks, @niamhtumelty.bsky.social & @heroicendeavour.bsky.social argue they should form a central part of university strategies for public engagement @lseimpactblog.bsky.social. @lsepress.bsky.social @lselibrary.bsky.social

People are running stats on LLM-generated participants and think they’re being social scientists when in fact they’re technically just playing a very strange video game. This is like saying you’re doing math research because you’re playing sudoku. www.science.org/content/arti...

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

Or, Baudrillard is jealous that even he couldn't have dreamed this sh*t up.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

“Added value” 🙄

COUNCILS DON'T NEED YOU TO PROVE YOUR IDENTITY IN ORDER TO REPORT A POTHOLE. THEY DON'T EVEN NEED YOU TO *REVEAL* YOUR IDENTITY.

Sure, let’s collate every member of the public’s personal and private information into one giant database right before handing whole swathes of the state over to multinational corporations using an emergent technology with numerous security issues

Big news: Internet Archive Europe ( @internetarchive.eu ) has opened its new HQ in Amsterdam! 🎉 A home for preservation, access & shared cultural heritage. Read coverage from @mariabustillos.com in Flaming Hydra: flaminghydra.com/freedom-and-...

guess what book it's about 🙃

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Lol we made a discovery layer that lies to you, it's a learning experience "the team has worked hard to minimize such results, but they can and will surface. Importantly, these moments are opportunities to learn more about both the technology and user expectations."

Searches previously blocked (e.g., on genocide or civil rights history) now return results, while genuinely harmful queries (e.g., instructions for building weapons) remain blocked.

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases. This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.15122

I'm not sure where I'm going here, but there seems to be a fair amount of overlap between what (some) people want from AI agents and what (some) people wanted to achieve by keeping commonplace books — organizing and synthesizing a personal archive of information, ideas, etc

“The law doesn’t matter anymore” is obeying in advance.

"next-generation ‘end-to-end’ AI-powered solution" is today's compu-global-hyper-mega-net

OpenAI has a new paper on how people use ChatGPT. I can't help but look at the categories and wonder which ones the various delusional spirals I've reported on slot into.

So the question today - like on a lot of days - is: what's the most important thing you could be working on right now? Or talking about right now? And if you are not doing it, then what are you doing? #OpenScience cannot mean what it meant 10 years ago.

"We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

The "AI for Social Good" narrative is a tactic to consolidate power in the hands of those with no commitment to social good. The tech does not do what it is claimed to do and what it is claimed to do exacerbates root problems. Uncritical technosolutionism is a denial of service attack on humanity.

Penske Media Corporation has filed a lawsuit against Google over its AI summaries in search results. Here's how we got here. www.plagiarismtoday.com/2025/09/16/t... #AI #Google #Lawsuit

An abandoned plan to visit another star highlights the perils of billionaire-funded science

Blague à part c'est un excellent résumé pour les gens qui ne passent pas 12h par jour sur Internet (il manque juste le fait que Bella ciao n'était pas uniquement utilisée dans Far Cry mais se trouvait aussi dans des playlist groypers)

"At punctum books, we have no objection to our books being included in such shadow libraries [...] but we do object to the commercial reuse of our publications by multibillion-dollar corporations without proper compensation for both our press and authors."

This is a better explanation and coverage on the dark side of gaming and online culture than most mainstream media orgs have. Because for years, mainstream media ignored / disbanded their gaming culture coverage.

One of the most important things when it comes to controlling what happens in the future is controlling what people are allowed to imagine today.

I was surprised to see that a firm claims to have essentially solved the issue of detecting when there‘s LLM-generated text in content. But researchers at Pangram Labs say they have, claiming false-positive rates of 1 in 10,000. www.nature.com/articles/d41... @nature.com | @miryamnaddaf.bsky.social

"This hybrid approach—AI generation followed by human verification—proved both efficient and reliable." Does anyone else find this constant argument - that the speeding up is worth turning us into editors for LLM's - depressing as hell? saaers.wordpress.com/2025/08/20/f...

“Across China, tens of thousands of people tagged as troublemakers like the Yangs are trapped in a digital cage, barred from leaving their province and sometimes even their homes by the world’s largest digital surveillance apparatus.” “Most of this technology” came from US companies.

"Of the 638 proposals then sent to specialists for peer review, just 34 were funded." There's your real problem -- no amount of AI is going to fix this issue.

"the algorithms highlighted 122 applications from a total of 714 as having a low chance of success. This decision was checked by two human reviewers, who rescued 46 applications initially flagged for rejection by the AI system." This kind of tech fetishism sounds like it creates more work all round

"we are faced with the reality that humans are responsible for what is researched, how it is researched and what conclusions are drawn from such research."

Despite our pushing as editors, T&F won't reveal its other licensing agreements, or state clearly how they'll ensure proper attribution if content ends up in language models (and it is)

The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

"in the name of Scopus!" sounds like something a frustrated scientist would say to avoid swearing in front of their kids.
