"Betelgeuse Betelgeuse", very cautiously optimistic, more than pretty much anything movie-wise for ages... The little "Be warned." at the start :D The cast looks great in any case, from the trailer I think it might depend on whether the slapstick hits.

As someone who still has a strong streak of Dream-of-the-90s Web in their bones it's a bit demoralizing to find the AI Search-Summarize-Slop Loop seriously confronting me with the question of why I, or anyone, should ever again write anything of substance that's just freely available online to people who might be interested.

@jmsdnns @kjhealy I think this is critical, and it's basically about taking on a bit of the way scientists write - it's all about the referencing, all about the "pedigree" of claims and information. That's had its own problems but maybe a Web-Human-Expertise.0 can do it better...

this is in reference to super-alignment & safety, but my cousin also had her DEI team disbanded and “distributed” in the same way

on the surface, i think safety, DEI, and similar topics should be embedded in the culture and not centralized into a specific team. centralization would cause people to say, “oh that’s not my job”.

then again, any time a centralized team is disbanded, my immediate thought is, “apparently safety/DEI/etc. doesn’t matter to this company”. it’s a paradox, i suppose

@kellogh I always feel a little conflicted about reports like this. Like, it's 100% a good and important thing in general, but that doesn't mean a specific person or team or culture engaged with AI safety automatically inherits that value regardless of what they're actually contributing.

That said, I do think it might need a dedicated if small team to ensure that things are widely embedded.

Paywalled (and possibly blocked?) but looks very interesting... https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/world/europe/new-yorker-story-murder-letby-britain.html?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-gb

I don't know whether Letby is innocent or not of course but everything I happened to see about the evidence seemed very iffy and Lucia de B.-reminiscent.

Oh this was a new one for me - someone on a show did a "Hey Google" joke and it activated my phone.

Fake studies have flooded publishers of top leading to thousands of , M of $ in lost revenue. Biggest hit has come to 217-year-old based in Hoboken NJ which announced it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research . Wiley has reportedly had to retract more than 11,300 papers recently “that appeared compromised” as makes it easier for paper mills to peddle fake research. https://www.wsj.com/science/academic-studies-research-paper-mills-journals-publishing-f5a3d4bc

@bespacific I've always had a special hatred for a particular kind of review request/paper, where you can feel so clearly there's something wrong with it, but it's very hard to put your finger on what exactly. It's just slightly rotten everywhere. I found them hard to reject in a review becasue they're slippery in that way, "it's stinky" probably won't cut it.

Had one of those review requests a day or so ago and I strongly suspect AI was used from the Abstract, but how do you nail it down?
