I'm an asst prof. I don't work after 6pm and I don't work weekends. Maybe I'll be punished. But I'm putting it out there because I ABSOLUTELY love my job. But I love my mental health too. And those boasting they love to work, defining it as overwork, set a biased example. 😌

One of the most dangerous things many new Ph.D. students believe is that science is "pure" & less biased. It shuts down critically thinking about how unjust & unmeritocratic science culture is. The sooner we realise we're not some magical paradise of fairness the better. #phdchat

AI literally has made us unable to communicate/search for stuff, e.g. "Greek present perfect continuous": 1) Greek does not have this tense, and yet it's the top result on Google. 2) να is not a verb, "Έχω διαβάζοντας το βιβλίο για μία εβδομάδα." is nonsense.

I'm in my 30s, not a parent & I never ever want to be one, so take this with a pinch of salt, but... My parents never limited my device time. I was allowed to use my computer as long as I wanted. I'm a computational modeller now like 20 years later. Make of this what you will. 😂

Let's be serious: men think AI tools that plagiarise are huMAN-LIKE because that is what they do. They steal the ideas and labour off of anybody they can get away with, and attribute ideas to others only when it adds prestige, see 3.4 Minimizing harm:

This is really funny because it's not what's happening (they aren't building brains in any real sense) and it's not how we understand things scientifically. We don't recreate planets nor plants to understand them in physics and biology, we build and curate models and theories.

nonsense: either the neural network doesn't store words & indeed then the output is also not words (it's all binary/numbers or wtv; this is all on a computer after all) or the net indeed stores words just as much as anything can store words that is not a mind (paper, binary, etc)

Does anyone have any links to critical work on using LLMs to code? Showing how garbage it is but still it's being used or how it plagiarise but users don't know? Or are we/coders actually not even falling for the hype? I hear from outside academia some are using it, sadly. 🫣

@o_guest @DimitrisPapail That's actually just an observation which happens to be true, so that's kind of hard to make sense of as a claim. It *obviously* correlates. The question is why. Do you *really* have your phd?

Why we need computational modelling: even if everybody agrees what the area of a circle is defined as there are apparently people unwilling to execute the formal model itself and not only that but the results are counterintuitive. 😂

People who propose using LLMs to automate science are not only 100% wrong (see @IrisVanRooij ), but also they are dooming us to never achieve "progress". They want science to be rehashing the past. Always geocentric, always adding epicycles. Always wrong.

In my work, I tend to focus on how generative AI can be, will be, and already is used in workplaces—as leverage against workers, as a tool for mgmt to erode status and automate jobs—but it poses other threats. @parismarx beatifically articulates one here:

It's shocking that people need to be told this, shown this even. You cannot expect a model created to do X to have any meaningful interpretable relevant performance on Y. But because we've over-hyped deep learning and lose our perspective completely, it has to be said, I guess!
