Imo the arXiv should impose an automatic ban the first time someone submits a preprint with a hallucinated reference in it. Zero tolerance policy.

A citation isn't a pointer to another instance of a topic being mentioned. A citation is an intentional acknowledgement of existing work because you are building on it, or it provides context for what you are trying to do. That is something the author has to appreciate and then communicate.

Look, I get being excited by the tech, I really do. But we know enough about its shortcomings that everyone should be appropriately skeptical about letting it intrude on the parts of the work that have to be done by humans to have any meaning.

Checking grammar? Sure, okay, everyone can decide if that's a legitimate use case for them. Expressing something complex in LaTeX? Again, perfectly fine occasional use case as you familiarize yourself with LaTeX. Generating citations or descriptive text? NO, THAT IS THE PART A PERSON HAS TO DO.

What is the point of these LaTeX editors with a chatbot built in. To help search for references? If you aren't familiar with a reference, you shouldn't be citing it (if it even exists). And if you haven't thought carefully about how it relates to what you're doing, IT IS NOT REALLY A CITATION. 🧪

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

“The French government announced that it will stop using American video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and replace them with Visio, a French platform.”

"The reason these aspects of our jobs have been so challenging to automate is that they rely on something even more precious than our time: namely, our capacity for scientific decision-making. It is worth considering what we lose when we cede that—and our agency—to machines."

We're #hiring a staff scientist to develop novel #imageanalysis and #machinelearning methods for light sheet fluorescence microscopy data. A fully funded position at @umeauniversitet.bsky.social. See full ad and apply here: www.umu.se/jobba-hos-os...

As you prepare your submission for #ICML2026, follow the rules to avoid desk rejection! This may happen if, e.g., you violate double blind or have hallucinated references. ALL your submissions may be desk rejected if, e.g., you try to compromise the integrity of the review process

Om en plågsam journalistik som inte kan skilja på sanning och lögn: www.etc.se/ledare/utgaa...

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

Om någon undrar varför det som händer i USA är relevant även för oss.

Här är ett mycket tydligt exempel på när media misslyckas med sitt uppdrag. Att rapa upp vad den ljugande regimen säger är _inte_ det. Jobbet är alltså inte att ”neutralt” förmedla vad olika parter tycker, utan att objektivt beskriva vad sanningen är.

This is so incredibly important! If the regime says the sky is green, the headline should not be that! False balance is no balance.

Apparently the NeurIPS chairs decided to reopen the camera-ready submission to ensure "that the proceedings reflect the highest scientific quality.” @neuripsconf.bsky.social, is that true? So the solution to academic misconduct is to give the authors a chance to cover their tracks?

This is how quickly Ai-assisted code is being adopted on GitHub repositories. In just four years , the share of Ai-generated code in the US goes from negligible to aprox 30% by the end of 2024 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Really cool paper by Frank Neffke et al in @science.org

Mycket bra! Alla kan göra något här: Sälj dina globalfonder, om du har. Byt från globalfonder i din PPM, om du har.

Last few days now to apply for this #phd position before the deadline on January 25!

The emperor is finally naked:

Ingen partiledare har lämnat X. Alla nio är kvar och är aktiva. Alla har twittrat flera gånger senaste månaden, de flesta även senaste veckan. Oppositionsledaren har twittrat fyra gånger sedan nyår, trots att alla stora medier uppmärksammat att X/Grok används för att skapa barnporr

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni. Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

My consultations with member states on the latest tensions over Greenland reconfirm our strong commitment to the following:   ▪️ Unity on the principles of international law, territorial integrity and national sovereignty;   ▪️ Unity in support of and solidarity with Denmark and Greenland;

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

Trump will likely try to make Denmark choose between NATO and Greenland, and wider Europe between Greenland and Ukraine. But luckily Trump has also demonstrated that under his leadership, any US security guarantee won’t be worth much. So the choice should be simple.

Om vi menar allvar med att konkurrera om de mest lovande forskarna inom universitet och högskola måste vi åtgärda löneläget. Låga svenska löner gör att svenska och svenskutbildade talanger flyttar utomlands, och att utländska begåvningar drar sig för att flytta hit. /12

As the climate data for 2025 continues to be released, it's time to update various data visualisations. First - the global climate stripes for 1850-2025. A third darkest red stripe is added. The last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years on record. A sequence that is unlikely to be broken soon.

Please everyone stop writing articles about "defense" or "economic" reasons to occupy Greenland, that's all irrelevant

I cannot stress enough that you should not do this.

Martin Peterson doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

Viktigt att ställa politiker till svars för detta. Var de lägger sin sociala medier-tid spelar roll, och i det här fallet legitimerar det en webbsida som de flesta borde ha övergett sedan flera år redan. www.dn.se/ledare/isobe...

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power...These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

Ord och inga visor. Det är helt klart nyckeln till att förstå angreppen på Venezuela: ”Han bryr sig inte ett skvatt om det venezuelanska folkets lidande eller rättigheter. Han vill säkerställa att det är just han och hans nätverk som får makten över Venezuelas tillgångar.” www.vk.se/2026-01-04/n...

So these journalists are asking *Grok* what happened, not a spokesperson for the company that made it?! I'm just flabbergasted. Do you ask a car for a comment when it has a part recalled??? It's just beyond parody.

Just finished @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social’s Untold History of the NES Launch. Truly fantastic stuff. I learned a few things I’d never known before. Great job by @frankcifaldi.bsky.social & @jtsknight92.bsky.social!! youtu.be/uJvpRGibFhg?...

Just want to reiterate that there are still issues with this kind of ML (biases etc.)since it’s built and trained on historic data (and historic medical data can be extremely biased). But if carefully deployed this sort of tool can be actually useful instead of a bad solution looking for a problem

Opinion: Make no mistake, global markets really did change in 2025. For the first time, investors are talking about ‘US risk'. ft.trib.al/w2vL8m2

I think people underestimate how much of this is intentional. We see the internal docs leaked constantly showing the legal team will review something absolutely heinous and just go "ok ship it." Like internally these companies are aware of the massive risk, and just don't care.

I'd like to propose the following norm for peer review of papers. If a paper shows clear signs of LLM-generated errors that were not detected by the author, the paper should be immediately rejected. My reasoning: 1/ #ResearchIntegrity

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.
