On Friday, I got promoted to full Professor. Today, got a paper rejected, and the first thing reviewer 2 said about the paper was that "In academic writing, the use of short forms of words such as "we've" are not allowed." 😂 Stay humble!

We just had the experience where older family members who were looking to renew their passports went to a scam website (that looked legit but was not) and gave up PPI + lost a of money. Wondering how this new AI-enabled search paradigm is making scam sites more sticky. (2/2)

I'm sort of fascinated (aka appalled) at what the AI slop that comes at the top of each Google search does to screen real estate. Slop + Sponsored links + then eventually legitimate links and what the potential impact is (1/2)

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.
This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:
