A 52m student block is planned beside Bethnal Green Gardens. 11 storeys. 520 student rooms. Right by the gardens. We’ve put together a simple guide explaining what’s proposed and how to object: bethnal-green.london Please share.

Playing around with #polymarkets In 2025, how many academic publishers will publicly state that their referral traffic from Google or Google Scholar has deceased because of a switch to other #AI services? Play with play money at: manifold.markets/PubTechRadar/h… ♥️Referral code: DEOKR

@aarontay I’m not so sure. I’ve heard off the record comments about “if we were as supported the drops we’ve seen would be an existential crisis”. But I think these drops were due to algorithm changes in google search results not AI specifically.

@aarontay That’s a really good point. I like the comparison to a human intern. It will make mistakes and it might badly misinterpret the data. It might do a great job but might not, so you need to check everything. Your instructions have a huge influence on the results you get…

@PubtechR Maybe the prob is even using calculator as analogy is flawed since LLM is not a half as reliable & understood currently. Feels more like handing controls to a plane just after the Wright brothers showed planes work.

Just as we don't let kids use calculators before they learn arithmetic, we shouldn't let undergrads who don't have experience doing research jump to using ai tools that essentially do or does large parts of the literature review for them. Agree? (1)
Aaron Tay@aarontay

I have a controversial view. Tools like scite assistant, Primo Research assistant or anything that uses RAG to generate answers with citations should not be used (or encouraged to be used) by undergraduates particularly freshman (1)

@aarontay A computing analogy might work, eg ugrads use coding frameworks, they learn how to get a working solution but it’s effectively painting by numbers. There’s little skill/knowledge involved. You would need to do/learn a lot more to become a skilled programmer.

@aarontay Perhaps the craft of literature reviewing is better taught in masters or post grad courses? (Was trying to think of an analogy using slide rules rather than calculators but could quite make it work).

Loving the Midnight at the Casablanca podcast with Paul Peters: midnightatthecasablanca.com. Absolutely fascinating to hear more about people’s careers and backstory.

Great blog post by David Worlock: davidworlock.com/2024/10/ai-and….. Time for academic societies to take back ownership of parts of the publishing space to directly serve the needs of their researchers? Time to #partylikeits1999 & value community needs more than efficiency? 😉

Co-intelligence/Co-pilot has been an excellent price of marketing but require work from the user. It seems inevitable (to me) that as more products are built on top of LLMs the more these products will do and the less control used will have. Ethan Mollick’s latest newsletter:

Key takeaways from the FT Strategies session on GenAI trends. 1. Multimodal products, 2. Conversational experiences, 3. Agents. Fascinating session especially the brief insight into their #AI experimentation space. #FutureMediaTechConference

@MicrobiomDigest @19joho We're going to need to develop a logistics system for certifying the legitimacy of images.
