Shift Happens—a book about keyboards—is closing on $600,000 at Kickstarter and we’ve set a $700,000 stretch goal! An upgrade to the font (tier/add-on) and an already-committed third volume of extra goes from 100 pages to 160 and from black-only to full-color! Read the update from @mwichary https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwichary/shift-happens/posts/3736296
Nearing #2 funded non-fiction book in Kickstarter history, too (currently #3).
#receptiogate, new reports in mainstream media and a well-known Swiss emeritus who’s not amused https://www.blick.ch/schweiz/plagiats-affaere-weitet-sich-aus-zuercher-professorin-schrieb-ganze-passagen-ab-id18330209.html
Schön, hat der Blick auch #RECEPTIOgate entdeckt. Erwartbar: fokus auf plagiate, SNF wird nur am rande erwähnt, dabei geht es dabei nicht nur um förderung für diese eine publikation.
Ich halte es für nicht unwahrscheinlich, dass der SNF das förderinstrument komplett streicht, mit folgen für viele leute in vielen disziplinen.
@sascha_wolfer Hast Du denn die beiden auch wieder eingeladen? Oder werden die Rollen neu verteilt?
Look, a wild #paidia has appeared! #introduction #neuhier
PAIDIA – Zeitschrift für Computerspielforschung hat jetzt einen Mastodon-Account, über den wir euch über neue Artikel, Sonderausgaben, CfPs etc. auf dem Laufenden halten.
Wir teilen auch sehr gerne eure #GameStudies-Projekte und Publikationen – egal, ob es nun um digitale oder analoge Spiele geht.
P.S.: Außerdem nehmen wir jederzeit Vorschläge für Monatsartikel entgegen. Schickt uns einfach ein Abstract! : )

Herbert Grönemeyer - Angstfrei (Offizielles Musikvideo) - YouTube
#grönemeyer
#fesch
Ich feier den neuen Song und Video von Herbert Grönemeyer. Wer hätte gedacht, wir haben 2023, und Herbert Grönemeyer textet
"Freiheit
Neuzeit
Vor allem angstfrei
In der Unruhe liegt die Kraft
Fesch sein
Frech sein
Keiner kriegt uns jetzt klein
Tanz' drüber nach, tanz' drüber nach"
#fesch #angstfrei

What I have seen so far (mostly on Twitter, published by a variety of accounts, and on academia.edu, published by Carla #Rossi) in terms of #Receptio's reaction to the accusations of #plagiarism and creating misleading appearances, is not up to the task of defending the #reputation of a research institute and a researcher. #receptiogate [1/5]
We (researchers at University of Colorado Boulder, including @bkeegan ) are conducting a research study about social media platform migration. Right now we are looking for help *piloting* a survey about experiences with joining Mastodon and/or leaving (or choosing not to leave) Twitter.
If you would be willing to help with a pilot by filling out a most open-answer questionnaire, let me know and I will DM more details!
And it's #mparticle—also by @true_mxp. You can get it here: https://github.com/mxpiotrowski/mpreport

I wrote about #LLM and #LanguageTechnology at large for #LanguageLearning and teaching. It's a non-reviewed #preprint of a journal paper to appear this summer (and will be revised as technology progresses...)
You can read it on @EdArXiv
Happy to get feedback and comments!

Former Federal President #Gauck nails it. „Surely the lesson of history, in which we were terrible murderers, cannot be to watch other murderers in silence.“
Mit einer Energiepreispauschale in Höhe von 200 Euro will der Bund Studierende und Fachschüler:innen finanziell entlasten. Diese brauchen aber nicht nur viel Geduld, sondern müssen auch hohe bürokratische Hürden bei der Antragstellung überwinden – die obendrein gegen die Datenschutzgrundverordnung verstößt.

I wrote a small #rstats package that connects to GPT to answer questions, explain error messages and documents code 😀

Dear everybody re ChatGPT etc,
The word you need that you don't know you need is CONFABULATION.
What y'all are calling "hallucination" is, in neurology and psychology (where it means two slightly different things) called "confabulation".
I means when somebody's just making up something and has no idea that they're making things up, because their brain/mind is glitching.
A lot of folks are both trying to understand the AI chatbots and are trying to grapple with the possible implications for how organic minds work, by speculating about human cognition. Y'all should definitely check into the history of actual research into this topic, it will make your sock roll up and down, and blow your minds. And one of the key areas will be surfaced with that keyword.
There have been a bunch of very clever experiments that have been done on humans and how they explain themselves which betrays that there are parts of the mind that are surprisingly - and even alarmingly - independent.
Frex...
