What is AI, and why is it harmful? What is AI, and why is it harmful?

This talk serves to demystify and redefine AI in radical ways, as well as highlight how it can harm. We will touch on historical examples — and we will explore critical lenses, which can help us be thoughtful and careful in understanding what AI is and can do. Finally, some ways forwards will be discussed such that we can move towards a better present.

I sometimes post some depressing takes on interaction with #academics here. Well, here's a bit more of a funny example.

#LLM use from a PhD, Dr. James Utley.

The fella took my friend's python code (which was generated with LLM, yeah I know) and re-LLM'd it to a terrible rust port. Which I think is fine, but the guy stripped out any attribution or DOI reference. The design, command, function and the name of the program was kept the same.

The Guardian describes the process of getting #published in #science #journals as #broken: In 2020 alone, #academics globally spent >100 million hours #PeerReviewing journal papers. In the US, that time spent amounted to >$1.5 billion of free labor." https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jul/13/quality-of-scientific-papers-questioned-as-academics-overwhelmed-by-the-millions-published (1/2)

#Academics from across the country travel on the #Amundsen every year to conduct #research on a wide range of #ocean related topics. Pamak and Saunders's research on the trip is part of #Nunatsiavut attempt to establish a #MarinePlan for its #waters . This plan would #manage Nunatsiavut's ocean space & #balance the #demand for human activities w/ the need for #environmental #protection 👍

Across town from #LittleRock Central HS in September 1957, a young Jerry Jones joined a mob of white students trying to block Black students from integrating the school.

Yes, that Jerry Jones

#Academics, please take 2 minutes to answer this toot if you have time. And please boost!

We are planning to create a #digital #research network tool
and are curious about academic tools and services you currently use online:

What do you use?

Why and for what purpose do you use them?

Are there any services missing online, do you think?

thank you very much for sharing.

Hi, historian and childhood studies scholar. Just a few things I'm interested include #babies #infancy #morality #agency #personhood #historyofscience #historyofmedicine #childhood #scienceandreligion #jansenism #polanyi #medicalhumanities #tea #coffee #materialculture #humanities #history #publichumanities #acting #theatre #hps #academics #histodons

Thought I should put myself out there and do a detailed #introduction.

Hi 👋 I'm a #PublicHealth #researcher and #educator working at the University of Technology Sydney in the Institute for Sustainable Futures and the Health Research Institute. I have an eclectic background in #GraphicDesign, #HerbalMedicine, #HealthScience and #Psychology (#PhD).

Previously my main area of research was #HealthCare decision-making and #health services research mostly in #ComplementaryMedicine—I still do some of this. Now my main area of research is #PlanetaryHealth focused. I use #SystemsThinking to understand the impact of #EnvironmentalChange (inc #ClimateChange #pollution #contamination) on #health and #wellbeing and use #transdisiplinary methods to change policy and practice. I also teach in these areas.

I've a special interest in #MentalHealth and #wellbeing, #EnvironmentalPsychology and #KnowledgeTranslation.

I'm also passionate about supporting #PhD #HDR students. I have a side gig called Thrive Academia I started with a good friend when we thought everything was falling apart in academia. We run #AcademicWriting retreats and workshops (see link in profile).

I have #ADHD and am keen to connect with other #academics who share this experience as it can be hard and lonely.

Outside work I love #music 🎸(esp on #vinyl and live), #birds 🦆, #drawing, #nature 🌸, #gardening ☘️ and #vintage design (esp 1920s to 1960s).

Looking forward to this adventure on #mastodon and making connections.

If you’ve ever been in a #physics or #Astronomy building, you’ve seen the piles of old equipment and books littering the halls… #academics are hoarders.
