- Even while this article was in preprint, I was already seeing it cited at conferences last year - a really important contribution to the conversation around AI in tertiary education.
- "Heads we win, tails you lose" is now live in its peer-reviewed form. This article represents a gamut of perspectives from pro-AI to staunchly opposed. What unites us all is shared condemnation of the use of AI-detection software in education contexts doi.org/10.1080/1360...
- Reposted by Tenille McDermottHere it is! My first article in library and information science (i.e. my day job)! It was an absolute pleasure writing with @jaymam.bsky.social and Tove Lemberget, and I really do think green open access is a powerful way of making research accessible! doi.org/10.1177/0340...

- Reposted by Tenille McDermottNow that "scale is all we need" has predictably faltered... 1. Small AI models often perform better in context. 2. Obsession w bigness has bad consequences, from climate, to power concentration, to research capture. Me + @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social @sashamtl.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2409.14160

- Sunday reading: Jeanine Leane's stunning new poetry collection Gawimarra: Gathering. "to learn that trees do not bleed when bark is taken - they give - / share - bear the scar to remember - to remind us / to always take carefully - gather only what is needed - / gather to return - return to gather"
- Reposted by Tenille McDermottA new open-access journal, Public Humanities, has launched. I'm proud to have a piece in the inaugural "Manifesto" issue, on "The Necessity of Public Writing." I hope academo-friends will read, circulate, propose, and submit. doi.org/10.1017/pub....

- I've been a bookseller for 18 years and I STILL get a thrill when this happens
- And an Ozlit starter pack, woohoo!
- Booksellers (along with librarians) are the best kind of people, so you should follow these fine folk!

- A must-read: ". . . when we make something, the end product isn’t the only thing that matters. In fact it may not even be the thing that matters most. There is also value in the act of making, in the craft and care of it."

- Storygraph is fantastic! And has a much nicer interface than GR, to boot. I'll add a recommendation for Libro.fm for audiobooks as a brilliant alternative to Audible (which is also owned by Amazon/Bezos).
- This is also true in Australia - around 40% of the year's sales are in December. Please support your local indie!
