I'm a huge proponent of green open access, but diamond journals are fantastic, too! Nice to get a mention in this article about why we shouldn't sleep on free-to-publish open-access journals! Bibliodiversity for life!
Toronto's @thestar.com sent a cease and desist letter to the creator of the podcast network that @indicator.media wrote about on Wednesday. He has promised to reverse course.

👍"When research is easier to access, its value increases. Policymakers can draw on stronger evidence, practitioners can apply research findings more directly, journalists and community organisations can engage with original sources ..."

Relatedly, reading with page flags at hand! Gotta mark those good quotes!
Oh! Congrats!
Oh same re. submitting things! Almost there on one, need to write up the other... But we soft launched this yesterday! oercollective.caul.edu.au/aust-politic...
Proper promo incoming once we get our ducks in a row
Hahaha! Thanks! Everything is coming out all at once. There's one more to come out and then I need to hurry up and submit a few things I'm behind on!
You might be interested in the work that @tenille.bsky.social is doing. She has built a bespoke language model trained on her writing to trouble a novel she's working on. Adding the digital uncanny to it. I think there are great possibilities from feeding historical documents into bespoke models
I think we're in total agreement there. With good regulation around intellectual property rights, resource usage, and legal restrictions on how these models are constructed, they could be useful in certain applications
I hate this tech, to be perfectly honest, but there are standards that need to apply to assessments that really defy any attempt to prohibit the use of genAI in take-home writing. The battle on that front is already lost
If ever there was an example of writing by dissensus it's this article. I think it benefited from the process though. I wish the conversations involved in its composition was a podcast! It's true though, if a student uses Grammarly, is it theirs? Spell check? A critical friend?
Always was a slimeball
This one makes me particularly sick
You're such a good egg! Thanks for sharing!
Another piece of writing from yours truly. Might be the weirdest thing I've written? This is what happens when you agree to write about a US work of criticism for a publication about Australian writing!

"AI detection should not be used in education due to its methodological imperfections, violation of procedural fairness, and unverifiable outputs."
Truly truly truly terrible, like the worst in-between scenes from a video game.
No pressure, hahaha!

"Unlike plagiarism detection, AI detection relies on unverifiable probabilistic estimates. In this paper, we argue that generative AI detection should not be used in education due to its methodological imperfections, violation of procedural fairness, and unverifiable outputs."
"Heads we win, tails you lose" is now live in its peer-reviewed form. This article represents a gamut of perspectives from pro-AI to staunchly opposed. What unites us all is shared condemnation of the use of AI-detection software in education contexts
