I will present tomorrow at 9:00 on a paper I am working on with @bcastanho.bsky.social focusing on the perception of disabled candidates. If 9:00 is too early for you there is another very interesting panel on disability at 16:15 today! ;)

For one journal I am still waiting. Another one had an acceptable waiting time of about 1,5 months. Reviewers are scarce and you can really feel it. And the waves of quickly done papers thanks to GenAI are not helping.

Tag der offenen Tür der Bundesregierung. Im Wirtschaftsministerium ist kaum Publikum. Aber auf uns Menschen mit Behinderung ist verlass. Wir machen die Hütte voll. Wir protestieren für Barrierefreiheit in der Privatwirtschaft im BGG. Kommt vorbei.

Meta verstößt gegen eigenes Verbot bei politischer Werbung

Meta hat politische Werbung eigentlich verboten. Eine Untersuchung zeigt, dass viele politische Anzeigen trotzdem online bleiben.

Pausing to work on papers is really not a good idea. All files have different naming schemes, the Rproj inflated itself and takes 200GB of my harddrive and I have to rephrase all my sentences to not sound like fresh-PhD me.

There’s a growing & deeply problematic tendency to use #genAI for political and historical education Take this example from Germany, which translates as: «Hey AI, who should I vote for.» What’s typical here is that AI is not only addressed as pseudo-person but also as a kind of impartial judge 1/

I have to admit that I have missed the streets of Amsterdam a little bit. 🥰

A picture of the streets of Amster with a cobblestone street in the middle and buildings left and right. There are scenic lights in the background emitting a warm light. A person is walking through these streets, turning around when the picture was taken.

„Wir haben mal 1 KI gefragt“, heißt es dieser Tage beiläufig in allen möglichen Kontexten, häufig ohne jeden erkennbaren Mehrwert, einfach, weil man‘s kann. Das ist Normalisierung der Nutzung von Fake-Schleudern, die Kreativen die Jobs streitig machen & das Internet mit Slop zumüllen. Was soll das?

I thought with the rise of generative AI less social science students would be interested to actually learn programming but it feels like the complete opposite. It does give me some hope.
