Q
How did you know!?!
Also, I can neither confirm nor deny that choosing the code colour scheme is vital!
Say what you like about AI, which I strongly agree with, but don't you come for my dark mode!
Today we have the third edition of the exhibition Generative Things at Waag Futurelab Hyperlink event (14:00-20:00)
Let's reframe monitoring AI's outputs as "managing" agents... I mean employees. That way we can get paid manager salaries right?.... Right?

Ban (most) assessments already! "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." Just talk to students whilst they are doing stuff!
Mendeley seems to have finally brought back the ability to search within the text of papers instead of just the metadata. Glad to see we are back to what the desktop version could do in 2018... Progress?
Just listened to a podcast that mention both survive 2025 and stay in the mix in 2026 😅
This is today's explosive discussion with a Labour MP, a Tory MP and a columnist for The Sun/rightwing thinktanker about Just Stop Oil and the politics of protest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzs8...

Could we all just not though and actually check the data and talk to people first? My favourite bit is that both sources here point to the paradoxical findings. But that gets in the way of a narrative.
Could we maybe, just for a second, stop bashing people younger than us?
I saw the recent "stats" about GenZ and the readiness for people to jump on them saying all kinds of bad things about them, as per usual. But it felt odd, and my confirmation biases were quickly fulfilled by...
Usually with 2-3 friends! I am probably a bit too nerdy on stratagem choices because I like ones with quick refreshes so I can always be calling stuff in! Love the satire of the game even if loads of people want to ignore that 😆. Do you have a setup of choice?
Play it every Wednesday
Is there an official term for when two (probably AI-driven) spell checkers disagree?
Inspired by Iohanna Nicenboim's more-than-human stories (tinyurl.com/mrxddabd) I resurrected some work from 2022 where I observed and thought about a sofa that was floating around in a canal near my home. More about it here: tinyurl.com/bdf3955s
I wish we were teaching people about how to code quantum computers instead making meh images and text with GenAI.
SORRY BRO CAN'T HEAR YOU THE ECHOS ARE TOO LOUD!!!
I'll just read the Times and the Guardian and listen to the BBC thanks bro.
I have reviewed papers that omit the name of projects for the review process including literally writing [omitted for blind review] in places so maybe you can show enough without giving it away?
The first journal article from my thesis is out! It was a lot of fun and a lot of work 😅.

All these language-based AI generators are built on a flawed and limited concept, language — the flaw of classification compounds this.
The more I learn about neural networks, the more I just describe them as "brute force mathematics".
Archaeology or archeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture (wiki)
Er... Generative adversarial nostalgia?
Is there a word for the kind of haunting where you read about someone who did a great many things and died at or near your age?

Not super keen on a publisher that has tonnes of problems buying up Researchgate (www.mdpi.com/about/announ...) one might speculate that certain publications might start appearing more frequently in people's feeds...
