Should authors that have been found* to have used AI in an unacceptable** way (e.g., fake references) be penalised? #EducationalResearch ? *Investigations cost money - academic publishing is a racket anyway - which is why journals will let this slide. **Is it ever acceptable for writing?

I can’t give blood (recipient of a blood transfusion) but I know that I would if I could. The world needs more people like Nigel www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1016 years ago, on the 8th of March 1010, Persian poet Ferdowsi completed the epic poem Shahnameh. In the longest epic poem by a single author, the Shahnameh handles the mythical and historic past of Iran from creation until the Muslim conquest. #otd #history 🗃️

Englishness: as represented by objects* For me: Stories - folk and fairy tales: e.g. Fi-Fi-Fo-Fum Green - wood; patchwork fields; hedgerow; marsh Stone - abbeys; castles; barrows What about you? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 *objects are not always physical

Spotted a scarlet elf cup on my stroll through the marsh the other day, no #hedgehogs 🦔 though 🦔 🦔 Beautiful work #Spring #Fungi

Childhood reading leaves scars. When I was lounging on the sofa, watching Scooby-Doo, I always had the uneasy feeling that my school holidays should look like this instead #WorldBookDay Artist: AN Buchanan

Palm oil is the leading cause of orangutan decline and affects 193 threatened species worldwide. The government cannot ignore this. Stronger action is urgently needed. #ProtectNature #Deforestation Full response 👉 hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2026-0...

Is #autism a spectrum? The problem with categorisation is that clear definitions are needed and as soon as these definitions become looser - more accommodating of difference - they lose their usefulness. I think Prof. Frith is absolutely right; we are all neurodiverse. #EduSky

Fascinating article. May be of interest to folks following @chatbiology.bsky.social

This should be a wake-up call for Labour. I certainly think it will provide a catalyst for the leadership challenges to come out into the open. The good news? It demonstrates the electorate is prepared to vote tactically to keep the far right out. Well done to Hannah Spencer @greenparty.org.uk

Bayesians assemble

For me it has to be the persimmon. They taste of nothingness; think water holding onto a memory of sweetness that lies far far away. A close second would be dragon fruit, but at least they look good.

‘Tis the season in #Yorkshire #Rhubarb looked far too good to miss yesterday. Crumble all prepped and ready for the oven this evening (will post a pic later if I remember). Custard, cream or ice cream - how do you eat yours? #Pudding

This is very funny- well done to the SM team at Bedford Council* *although I’ve never heard anyone wishing someone a ‘Happy Lent’ before. Is that even a ‘thing’?

The #AICaricature #GPT trend has hopefully reached its zenith on LinkedIn. The #AISlop introducing each image, extolling the virtues of using AI for generating this nonsense, is nauseating. The prevalence shows just how far genAI has become a part of people’s lives since Nov 2022. Novelty sells.

Zoos. I’ve changed my mind about them. Now the negatives outweigh the positives. Elephants have absolutely no place in them that’s for sure. It’s incredibly cruel; however, they’re needed, with the other megafauna, to bring the people in. Would I care if the majority of zoos closed? Not really.

You might not know it, but you probably use Bayesian reasoning every day. But what exactly is it? Professor David Spiegelhalter explains in our latest video with BBCIdeas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pnlExzbNqE

There’s a risk that LLMs will eat themselves: “Previous research has shown that LLMs tend to “collapse” and produce gibberish when the dataset contains too much uncurated AI-generated data, which reduces the diversity of things an AI model can learn from.”

I’m still unsure where I sit with this. A ban on social media for children 11 and under I would support wholeheartedly, but if we’re going to give 16 yr olds the right to vote*, then this ban feels wrong-footed to me. *see www.gov.uk/government/n...

Worth scrolling through this thread, if only for the tardigrade playing the world’s smallest violin* *even though I realise that it may itself have been generated using AI 🫠

Every time I visit #London, I always aim to visit at least one place I’ve never been to before, to experience something new. Yesterday I thought I’d walk the iconic spiral staircase at Russell Sq. I mean, how hard can 175(?) steps be? I did it but … 😭 <lactic acid> 😭 My advice? Take the lift.

Goldcrests might be tiny, but they can certainly travel a long way. A male Goldcrest ringed in Lincolnshire was caught alive 1,665 km away in northern Sweden 11 months later! #Winterwatch

Interesting. I’d say as the mouth is connected to the anus—all sphincters theoretically open—this counts as one hole. I’m now thinking about Eustachian tubes … 🤔 @chatbiology.bsky.social

A while ago, I posted a set of notes about the Bayesian approach to inquiry and how it can help us think about questions raised in the recent literature on zetetic epistemology. I’ve now corralled that material into something like a first draft of a book. I hope it might be of interest to others.
