- ‘Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition… We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average.’ arxiv.org/pdf/2601.20245
- Reposted by Christina BergmannThe consequences of developmental aid cuts by countries like the USA, UK and the Netherlands: millions of unnecessary deaths, including the deaths of young children. This resonates for me especially today, while prepping for teaching on the social determinants of developmental disabilities
- Published today in The Lancet Global Health: A modelling study on current worldwide trends in humanitarian and developmental assistance finds that cuts up to 2030 are projected to cause up to 22.6m additional deaths, inc. 5.4m children u5. Available Open Access - www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

- I love this metaphor for having AI take over key tasks like writing summaries, doing literature reviews, etc... Yes, please have your LLM buddy lift weights for you. You are now a gym nut
- Office is dead... But my documents are still all messed up when someone accidentally opens them 'the wrong way's (i.e. in the app instead of the browser...) Can we fix this before we make anything "smarter"?
- Reposted by Christina BergmannWho are the experts / journalists / researchers you turn to for critical perspectives on AI & the tech world? I created a feed of experts who watch AI developments with a skeptical & critical (but *informed*) POV. I'd love more people to follow it, but I'm also looking to add people - recs welcome!

- Reposted by Christina BergmannThis paper is batshit insane. It also (of course) has A TON of bullshit references that do not exist. Hey @springernature.com retract this AI slop and fire the editor that let it pass. There is evidently no review or quality assurance process in place at this journal.
- Reposted by Christina BergmannHey, did you know that Greek lost the phoneme /h/ because of secularism? You see, /h/ intrinsically symbolises the Creator. And hydrogen. This journal is published by @springernature.com , and is hosted by @nature.com. How did this incoherent nonsense make it into print?
- WTF?! 🫣 Is this a joke? www.nature.com/articles/s41... A religious quote, "primitive languages", and nonsense everywhere. Is Nature Humanities and Social Sciences Communications a scam journal?

- Reposted by Christina BergmannMIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
- And even then we need to be ready for pandemics, sudden funding cuts , and generally institutions protecting those who make our lives hell...
