Nihar Shah did a heroic experiment for TMLR: he spent 20-25 hours over two weeks interviewing authors of seemingly low-quality submissions about their own papers. He confirmed what we all suspected: people submitting these papers have *no idea* what is going on in them.

Cyberhoten är såklart mycket oroväckande men bör beskrivas utan tal om agenter som “hoppades”, “axlade ansvar”, var “måna om” att dölja sina spår etc. Den inramningen är dessutom välkommen för bolagen. Som Cal Newport uttryckt det: “It’s good business to keep us scared instead of angry.”

De pekar bl.a. på att OpenAIs slappa säkerhet tyder på inkompetens eller, kanske mer sannolikt, att de är betydligt mindre existentiellt rädda för sina egna modeller än de ger sken av.

Med varje ny flashig press-release från Big Tech om deras senaste nya språkmodell kan man lita på att en viss Chalmerskollega får in en alarmistisk debattartikel i svensk dagspress. Givetvis utan kritisk granskning av Techbolagets förenklingar, katastrofscenarier som bara de

This worries me most about AI in science. It's what happened with the advent of Stata and SPSS. They enabled incredibly rapid advances in the sciences and also set the stage for the replication crisis. Sadly, so many scientists simply don't understand the stats they are using.

I don't think it's a named logical fallacy, but there is a type of thinking that has trouble distinguishing "doesn't literally violate the laws of physics" from "should be achievable in a few years with sufficient gumption."

Back in the 1980s-2000s, there was an organization called Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility that worked to oppose irresponsible and dangerous uses of computers in warfare. Maybe it needs a reboot, in our new age of AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute...

“One more real-world aside: Should Europe envy the United States for its tech sector? No. Aside from the fact that Europeans are living well, tech generates a big negative externality, because among other things it generates tech-bro billionaires, who are corrupting our politics.”

A must watch - Mokyr's Nobel Prize speech on how ideas matter for progress, where AI fits here, and where bad institutional decisions might harm things. His ageless energy and unlimited memory for history are exactly today as I remember as his student 15 years ago. www.youtube.com/live/jQCkCcu...

Archeologists speak of years Before Present (BP), with ‘present’ set to January 1, 1950—just before nuclear bomb testing significantly changed the atmospheric ratio of carbon isotopes. Given how AI is rapidly flooding the digital world with bullshit, we may need a similar epoch marker—Jan 1 2025?

Looking forward to this (joint TIM, ENT, SAP, OMT) PDW with Jennifer Whyte, Raghu Garud, and Dimo Dimov at the Academy of Management meeting in Copenhagen. 📢 The Role of Artifacts in Managerial Design 📢 #AOM2025 Program link: cdmcd.co/bRavzm

This PDW examines the central role of artifacts in processes of development and change across fields and practices including entrepreneurship, innovation, project management, strategy, and future-making. In these and other areas, managerial work often amounts to artifact-centered processes in which final outcomes emerge via various “intermediate artifacts” such as conceptual models, material prototypes, digital simulations, and operational plans. Such artifacts serve diverse functions: as focusing devices that produce shared visions and guide concrete actions, as boundary objects that enable feedback and collaboration across domains, and as unfolding artifacts that are left intentionally incomplete to invite creative engagement. While scholars in different fields are theorizing and investigating artifact-centered practices, there is little discussion across fields. This PDW aims to encourage such dialogue.

”I argue that today’s AI excels at recognizing structure, but not at reframing it. It doesn't invent abstractions, ask better questions, or propose new ways of seeing. And that distinction—between fitting the world and reimagining it—is what separates tools of discovery from discovery itself.”
