Presenting my first academic poster today at the Royal Geographical Society’s annual conference!

@rosie_rice_ @ultraplinian @FitzwilliamColl @Cambridge_Trust Woohooo!!!!! Nicely done

Didn’t get the UK test emergency alert so I don’t recommend anyone rely on me for notifications during an emergency

A TV show I think would be hilarious: a mockumentary sitcom about the lives of imperial engineers within the Star Wars universe.

The study is interested in how people conceptualise risk in multi-hazard environments and the role of expertise in shaping people's varying risk perceptions.

A big thank you to everyone who’s filled out the survey already :)

[Joshua Nicholas @Josh_Nicho]

Have you ever been to Squamish, BC?

If so, you're invited to take a short survey (~10 mins) on natural hazard risk as part of my MPhil research at
the University of Cambridge:

My days are slowly becoming increasingly filled with congratulating friends on becoming engaged and announcing pregnancies

Getting Chat GPT to invent new words is my current favourite thing

Canadians simply don’t know how to queue like the Brits do

Instead of showing what might happen, the weather app appears to now be showing what allegedly has a 0% probability of happening

Unbelievable comeback by Murray 😳 what a match!

This is a frightening visual for me.

The first dot is the amount of data Chat GPT 3 was trained on.

The second is what chat GPT 4 is trained on.

They are already doing demos.

It can write a 60,000 word book from a single prompt.

The only question I've had about AI…

And to think this time last year I was concerned about my Wordle streak

[Joshua Nicholas @Josh_Nicho]

And THEN I asked it to write me a ~300-word review of how these themes are expressed in the transcript. After a decent first attempt, I asked it to re-write it but include quotation marks whenever it was making a direct quote from the transcript.

[Joshua Nicholas @Josh_Nicho]

I just asked ChatGPT to do a thematic analysis on an interview transcript with very neat results.

I found a sample interview transcript online, fed it to ChatGPT, asked it to create at least 8 codes, and then to create at least 3 themes to group those codes.

@psobolewskiPhD @seis_matters That’s a good catch - upon inspection the authors are all plausible based on their work and relation to the field, and have similarity titled papers, but the titles themselves are made up!! How intriguing.

[Joshua Nicholas @Josh_Nicho]

I just used ChatGPT to create a review of two papers written by @seis_matters, a literature review of Thermal Modelling in geology, and notes on Burchfiel's 1992 paper "Orogenesis and thermal modelling". All in 2 mins.

How will AI change the nature and integrity of research?

Just asked ChatGPT when Queen Elizabeth II died and it said she’s still alive…
