Gestern habe ich gemeinsam mit De Knifka vom Café Blond im schönen Lingen zu einem Gespräch über Kindheit und Erziehungsmythen eingeladen. Der Anlass: das kürzlich erschienen Buch von Prof Schuwerk und Dr Berkic, zu dem ich einen Beitrag leisten durfte. beltz.de/sachbuecher-... #WissKomm

What happens when we look closer at textbook findings about early infancy? Well, lots of questions arise. (Which imo makes science fun)

It is the responsibility of every securely employed/tenured professor to do everything they can to challenge this academic environment. That means speaking up institutionally & taking decisions with less secure colleagues at the forefront of our minds.

I refuse to believe that Cal Newport somehow missed the Stochastic Parrots paper and the way that Drs. Gebru and Mitchell lost their jobs because of it. The paper is not obscure. >>

In the time of enshittification of, well, everything the role of higher education is not to teach students how to enshittificate more efficiently. It is to provide them with hard skills like source criticism, languages, writing or critical reading that will allow them to survive all of this.

Using this to bring my frequent rant to your feed as well: There are literally thousands of languages and all are their own wonderful universe. Some are signed, some are written, some seem vowelless... And no, AI does not speak all the languages (it technically doesn't even speak one, it parrots)

Metascientists need to be required to read history of science. We already know so much about how an individual experiment is not a miraculous thing that is supposed to single-handedly produce fail-proof scientific facts. More than science, it's our assumptions about science that we must fix.

what does @tonychemero.bsky.social's new book 'Intertwined Creatures' have to offer to the “AI consciousness” debate? here is my take on it www.nature.com/articles/d41...

nature.com

Can AI ever be conscious? The question stems from a misconception

A book outlines how the fields of artificial intelligence, psychology and philosophy have neglected a key aspect of consciousness: the body.

Monthly reminder to read "Why does he do that?" because many people are bullied growing up & we don't turn into abusers. The narrative these people are victims is perverse to the goal of stopping abuse because it's not only false but contributes to the cycle. dn790007.ca.archive.org/0/items/Lund...

Yes! The way men in academia benefit from misogyny is direct & less personal than how they benefit from misogyny generally even if these are interlinked. Destroying a random woman at work can be very rewarding with a promotion, for example. Mistreating your wife more obviously directly backfires.

On a quick skim, the core function that OSF will fulfil is registration of studies (plus protocols and analysis plans) and hosting preprints. This means we will need to find data repositories for new projects following mid-November; perhaps Github, Zenodo, or university-operated commons.

This means nonsense race "science" is not "looking at cold hard facts" - it's actually INCOMPATIBLE with the cold, hard facts of human genetic variation. An outmoded bundle of ideological preconceptions that fails to describe actual underlying facts in any useful way.
