  1. New study on AI’s impact on young researchers: 91 surveyed across 7 countries. Poland & Malaysia lead in usage, while restrictions limit China. Raises key issue of AI as #GhostwriterInTheMachine - helpful for logic & drafting, but risks eroding critical thinking:

    📄 doi.org/10.1002/leap.1652

    Or maybe it was thanks to the emergence of #ChatGPT, they had a real chance to create something truly high-quality, overcoming barriers to access to knowledge?

  6. raprietary adj, proprietary, but it doesn't start with the 'pro' syllables, which makes it sound good, and instead starts with "rape"

    In a sentence:* "I don't allow raprietary devices like that DSL modem to be used in my home."

  8. @thejikz @actuallyautistic Why thank you ☺️. And also thank you for inspiring this short burst of #poetry #wordsmithing

    a quick-access pack
    encapsulates my lacks,
    going forth and back
    beneath my feet, the track,
    a steady pace through ramshackled hacks,
    a trip of trapse, tread, and relax

    A tough toil,
    In untrod soil,
    Hit a few roots,
    Had a few hoots,
    Something created a great path,
    (An energy blast yeilding a fast gash slash of machete and hedge trimmer en masse,
    A flury of measuring, CAD, tapes, and a rebar cap at last!
    It was a veritable forest smash,
    Shovels, rocks, sticks, then CRASH!)
    End mild fugue state, I liked the aftermath.

    Thank you for a bump of inspiration!

  18. This is the third day I've been woken up to the sounds of construction crews replacing the sidewalk they poured the day before.

    Pretty sure this is insanity, right?

  28. New word:

    /fost/ - the feeling of being lost or without a clear path as a result of sticking to #FOSS principles of #computing. "I couldn't find an ethical firmware for that device and now I'm fost." "There are so many ways to do it but don't get fost."

  31. Confession: I like #WordSmithing

    Quick exchange from a #w3c meeting to progress on drafting an aspirational document:

    > koalie: I wanted to propose [to replace "ensure" by] "foster"
    > several: I like that
    > document editor: I like it. I wonder how that rings to non-native English speakers?
    > koalie: You mean people like me? :)

  36. Is there a term for something more trivial than a first world problem? Like "eww, my phone sucks because it takes kinda grainy selfies"? German words are acceptable.

  41. There are words that relay the extreme gravity of a crime. Words like 'rape', 'murder', 'incest' and 'extortion' all have a visceral sense of how bad an act is.

    If only we could determine a word like that for '#moneyPrinters'.

    Words '#theft' and '#slaver' are too weak. The term '#humanTrafficking' is not bad but has other meanings.

    If 'usury' is for loanSharks — how about '#abusery'?

    Or something named after the #CantillonEffect — like '#tillony'?

  45. Trump’s ‘Stupid,’ ‘Stupid’ Town Hall nytimes.com/2023/05/11/opinion

    This column "For The Love Of Sentences" is a glorious read:

    "What of... the restive yolk threatening to slither off a six-minute egg; the seraphic weight of a chiffon cake; the heavy melt of fat off a slab of pork belly, slowly liquefying itself? What of goo, foam, dust, air? What of the worlds that lie between slime and velvet, collapse and refusal, succulence and desiccation?”
