The entanglement of Silicon Valley with politics and other public domains such as education should worry us all, especially in the age of GenAI.

This set is a celebration of electronic music, community, creativity and life. Amazing: youtu.be/gfF8jzBVWvM?...

Wanneer weet je dat de periode die je beschrijft de geschiedenis zal veranderen en wanneer weet je zeker dat iets een voetnoot zal blijken te zijn? Na 7,5 jaar stop ik als politiek verslaggever. Lees hier mijn afscheidsstuk: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Zijn dit bewegende beelden van Den Uyl of een met (GenAI) geanimeerde foto? En de foto van Aletta Jacobs (de foto op haar Wikipedia-pagina) lijkt ook te bewegen. Als het GenAI is dan is dat heel jammer en onnodig, wat mij betreft.

in the end where claude gives him an answer on moratoriums that he doesn’t like, so he pushes back and it gives him the answer he wants is a pretty pure example of the reinforcement bias and sycophancy we talk about with chatbots, but you get the impression he convinced claude he was actually right

Google is now screwing with the 10 blue links in traditional search and rewriting headlines - including ours - to be the worst kind of slop. This sucks so bad www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

Arnold's editorial team is modeling critical thinking and I am here for it.

Almost daily reports now on how AI-generated summaries are wreaking havoc in academia, journalism, law, and elsewhere. Today, how a prominent Belgian journalist wrote 15 articles containing fake quotes, taken from AI summaries (in Dutch): www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Never use GenAI tools to summarise or verify information. It’s unreliable and will introduce misinformation into the public sphere, muddying discussions. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Heel mooi essay van @chrisjulien.bsky.social dit: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Hi 👋 to new followers who followed me after reading the article on AI-generated summaries. You might also find this earlier article I wrote interesting. I wrote it after visiting a Critical AI Literacy symposium, organised by @irisvanrooij.bsky.social @olivia.science and colleagues.

This is one of the most reasoned & persuasive arguments for not allowing LLMs anywhere near reading & writing intensive classrooms. We can 100% choose not to outsource our reading & writing labor to a bot, and model for our students why they should do the same. #EduSky www.tue.nl/en/our-unive...

“When you read and summarize a text, you create the neural connections necessary to memorize and apply the information well in an exam, experiment, or research paper. Generating it with a click is a harmful form of cognitive offloading and will erode these skills.”

Tired of AI hype posts? You might like my sober assessment of whether AI-generated summaries are suitable for studying and research. Spoiler alert, they are not. The text is primarily aimed at students and researchers, but has much broader relevance. So share freely!: www.tue.nl/en/our-unive...
