I have not yet run across this and I still hate it. I know authors don't always have the final say on all aspects of their book, but this strikes me as something worth taking a stand on.

This is appalling. We need to strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ students -- not weaken them. Remember: In New York, LGBTQ+ students are still protected against discrimination in schools by state laws that go beyond Title IX’s and the federal Constitution’s protections.

Polling for Common Ground on bias against certain accents finds that people think that those with Scouse and Brummie accents are the most likely to experience bias in their day to day lives.

Manuscripts and grant proposals submitted for *peer* review are typically meant to be confidential. I'm fairly confident the text of these confidential documents have now been uploaded to an LLM. I don't know which one, but I'm guessing it wasn't a 'local' LLM sandboxed on someone's computer.

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.

This is equally true of quantitative data. Ethical and privacy management are essential parts of responsible data sharing policies and practices. Also, there are many alternatives to "pure" open sharing that help to address when confidentiality and transparency are at odds.

The final solution for AI in academia is a scenario where students are submitting AI-generated homework to be graded by AI-generated faculty using AI agents, all of which is being overseen by highly paid administrators who are extracting money from the students in exchange for a degree. The end.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

This article on the body camera is exceptionally good, and contains several insights generalizable beyond one particular surveillance technology. campuspress.yale.edu/yjll/volume-...
I ask a modest question: if a primary function of people who control government
bureaucracy in an unequal society is to control poor and marginalized people and to prevent social movements from achieving more serious change that weakens bureaucratic power and reduces the wealth of the wealthiest people in that society, might government bureaucracies use surveillance
technology to further those ends rather than to make themselves less violent? This question helps us see an enormous opportunity cost that we suffer when we promote “reforms” that do not alter the size and power of the systems that cause us harm. In the final analysis, the contemporary push for body cameras is based on a strange notion of “accountability.” The cameras mean (rare) consequences for individual "bad apple" police
officers, but a bolstering of the power of police generally. A “reform” like the body camera is
therefore the exact opposite of accountability because, from the perspective of the interests behind the policing bureaucracy, body cameras are a reward.
