When you discuss a topic with Gemini, it mentions your paper but summarizes it incorrectly

I'm now hiring a postdoc in deep learning for medical images. Application deadline March 1st. web103.reachmee.com/ext/I011/853...

Is it a new trend that job applicants want to have a meeting BEFORE they apply??

I have finally come to the point where I cannot find one of my computers

I wrote about Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw and Moltbook, the fascinating, weird and sometimes even useful social network for digital assistants to swap tips and gossip with each other simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/30/...

Somebody created an Reddit clone exclusively populated by personal digital agents and let them interact with each other. It’s bonkers, fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. www.forbes.com/sites/amirhu...

A useful thing about MoltBook is that it provides a visceral sense of how weird a "take-off" scenario might look if one happened for real MoltBook itself is more of an artifact of AI shared roleplaying (not new), but it gives people a vision of the world where things get very strange, very fast.

I'm hysterically laughing at so many of those posts (from the terror)

Will I give a lecture or not?

Thinking of all the hours I spent on rejected grant applications, could have spent them on social media instead

Applying to the same funding agency after 16 straight rejections, am I stupid or persistent?

I am now hiring a PhD student in deep learning for medical images, to work at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (IMT) for our ELLIIT project on federated learning. Application deadline February 19. web103.reachmee.com/ext/I011/853...

Submitted application for promotion to professor, included 37 attachments. Got the feedback that they want some more attachments, so ended up with 47.

When you realize that your poster from 2006 is still up at the university

Are you OK reviewer 2??

Im now looking for a postdoc in AI-Driven Precision Orthopaedics. We have huge datasets and plenty of GPUs. liu.se/en/research/...

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Happy birthday my new hair, 6 months

Started 2025 with several grant rejections as usual but ended up with 4 approved applications, best year so far. Thank you Claude and Gemini.

Any language models which can handle pdfs larger than 100 MB (3000 pages) ?

Too bad I threw away a bag of RAM sticks, lost a fortune...

Another grant approved, makes 4 in 2025

When the paper you spent 6 years on finally gets a citation

Just reviewed a paper which shared data and code on Google drive 🤔

How would you react as a reviewer if you review a paper with 4 types of data from two groups, and the group comparison using each type of data is done in a (slightly) different statistical way?

How common is it to do the data analysis as a PI?

Did not make it to step 2 for ERC, meaning that part B2 (14 pages) was never read 🥲

Grant funded, more than 4 years since the last big grant. More than enough to hire a PhD student.

Trying to get funding for AI research in medicine Technical funding agencies: you have not published in NeurIPS and ICML Medical funding agencies: you have not published in medical journals

How do you deal with grant rejections when the researchers who got grants have substantially weaker CV than yourself?

Lets gooo

Interesting conference at Stanford

Why can I still not do polls on bluesky?

Another 3 grant rejections, without a single word of feedback

Are you working with diffusion MRI? Have a look at this analysis-ready and quality controlled dataset of 2,747 participants aged 5–21 years. I was one of the researchers who performed quality control for at least 3000 images. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Attended this great workshop on reproducibility and asked the question "If funding agencies want us to do open science, why dont they lead by example and do open review of the grant applications?"

Academia already is too competitive. It is not sustainable to write some 20 grant applications per year and maybe get one funded. An aspect seldom discussed is that several PIs are greedy, and keep applying for more grants when they already have a (very) large group.

Some day I will clean my desktop, some day

What would you do if you just reviewed a paper for journal A and then see a very similar paper by the same authors just published in journal B?

The hype is real when the train station in SF has these ads

Thanks Claude The real question: Why are you applying to so many grants? Is this sustainable? Is this making you happy? Your success rate (2/19) suggests either you're applying too broadly outside your expertise, or the competition is brutal and you're taking a volume approach.

Claude 4.5 is scary Here's what you should do: Close the applications Step away from the computer Get some sleep

Even the language models wonder why I'm not full professor yet "Chair: "What about the career trajectory? He became docent in 2016 but is still biträdande professor nine years later.""

Spännande att uppleva på plats
