I know only of social movements against AI in general, like STOP AI (www.stopai.info). Shall we join forces to build a movement gathering researchers with similar views on the destructive effects of AI in research?

I am committed to never use LLMs in my writing. In fact to use them as little as possible in my research, and I also recommend the same to my students, for many reasons including the risks of deskilling. I don't know, however, of organizations or movements gathering researchers with the same view.

Da época que jogador não era principalmente influencer, jogava na seleção e não somente em clube, era menos mercenário e, dado tudo isso, existia futebol brasileiro. Agora somos um país mediano no futebol, ali no nível de Áustria, Rep. Tcheca, abaixo de Cabo Verde, Marrocos, EUA etc.

[NEW PAPER] In "Beyond Dichotomies", I challenge the false dichotomy between subjectivity and objectivity in human social relationships. I show how they are both biological and social, using kinship research as an example. I’d love to hear your thoughts! #PhilSci #Anthropology #PhilSky

So many possibilities. As a case there is the nature of biological entities as specific objects in contrast with physical entities as generic objects with its consequences for the nature of biological generalizations and methods

This is so disappointing to see academics conclude "yes, it's a fascist tool" and then in the same breath say "let's use it to show students how it's flawed" or "let's collect more data on it by giving it more of our data"... Excuse me?

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”
