Etude sur 4M d'images, 50000 créateurs : les artistes qui utilisent l'IA sont plus productifs, plus appréciés, mais perdent en originalité

Neither #AI-concerned nor AI-skeptical groups substantially updated their views about AI risk.

…despite “8 weeks (…median: 31 hours) reading background materials, developing forecasts, and engaging in online discussion and video calls” (N = 22).

Another report from the #Forecasting Research Institute finding that sustained, collaborative education and reasoning barely impacted forecasts: https://forecastingresearch.org/news/ai-adversarial-collaboration

I’ve just sat my first exam since my PhD viva, which was 12 years ago. I did not enjoy it. You might think that would give me a sense of solidarity with my students, but you would be wrong, because I am a bad person.

I have the greatest admiration for #LetitiaJames, New York Attorney General. She has repeatedly held Trump and his businesses or foundation accountable to the same laws everyone else is. I applaud her intelligence and her courage. Some reporting on the financial and political situation Trump now faces due to her success. https://wapo.st/4cqzXeL (gift access).

“What is called ‘academic freedom’ is much more than academic matter. In fact, it is in the higher institutions about which the question is usually raised that there exists at present the most freedom of thought and discussion. Influences which tend to suppression are most powerful in lower schools where the larger number receive their training. Objective discussion of social conditions, especially in their economic implications, is rare and difficult.” — John Dewey, “The Influence of Education” (1930, CW Supplementary 1: 38)

Happy hump day!

New blog post today: Jakob Ohlhorst introduces a new #openaccess book, Trust Responsibly http://imperfectcognitions.blogspot.com/2024/03/trust-responsibly.html?m=1 @philosophy #philosophy

I can‘t get excited about the Three Body Problem coming to Netflix. All I can remember of reading it was coming away thinking that it was unpleasant. Nicely written in parts, interesting story, but a lingering aftertaste of misogyny and a sense that the author liked totalitarianism rather too much. They say it‘s true to the books, so I think I might pass.

I've found an image from the 14th C Book of Hours that accurately depicts me going through peer review, shortly before I vanquish Reviewer 1.

Today, the post #3 of Adorno's Constellation. I try to get a good definition and the consequences of this definition. Enjoy!
