Friends at conferences - please do not assume that the people that you talk to do not know anything. I just got told that I should read what Stanton et al found about pain.

I used the chatbot arena data from @lmsysorg to create a visualization of LLM’s Elo rating changes. You can see:

1. The gap between various companies/open source projects is narrowing.
2. The major players are gradually becoming the various big tech companies.

Wherever there is an effort to take away power and to disenfranchise —restricting the right to read, dictating what to read, censoring writers, bombing, burning, or defunding libraries — become primary tactics.

Libraries are under attack because they are a threat to tyranny.

NOTE TO SELF:

[AI Research Tools 👨‍🎓 🧬🧪 🐬 🔬 @airesearchtools]

Some useful ways to engage ChatGPT or other AI writing tools (paper below):

1)As a conversational partner for brainstorming. E.g. List some possible ethical issues in the field of nursing.

2)As a writing coach. E.g. Read my draft of this paper so far and identify issues with the sentence structure and argument.

3)As a proofreader. E.g. Read this section of my paper looking for grammatical errors.

4)As an outliner. E.g. Give me an outline for a research paper based on my tentative research question: What should be done about the problem of racial profiling in police work?

It is time to trace the money and support around the egregious book bans happening now.

In this so-called ‘information age’ one thing we must understand is that there are power structures and power plays that rely almost completely on an unread and disinformed public.

@NoetheMatt Or, take any job that will “get your foot in the door.” Why did I just spend thousands of dollars and years on a degree if I’m not going to find the right fit the first time?
