Starting the last day of #ecc2026 with a great panel on children's social media bans, focus on Australia. Quoting the chair @snurb.info : in brief, it doesn't work. Also problematic from the perspective of children's rights. + Other factors explain mental health issues better than social media use.

Nuorten somerajoituksista on keskusteltu paljon. Kysymyksestä on muovattu tekninen ongelma ja sosiaalinen draama, joka kumpuaa laajemmista ongelmista teknologiajättien rajoittamisessa ja nuorten pahoinvoinnin vähentämisessä. @jhaapj.bsky.social pohtii keskustelun anatomiaa blogitekstissään:

Miniature "creators" pushing out genAI slop have found an ingenious way of successfully circumventing policies that prohibit genAI use: saying that they aren't.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
