@pluralistic I mentioned this one to my family the other day and got some lols. They'd never heard of it, but I think there was an actual one hanging in one of my EE labs. (many, many moons ago)

*SALAMI

"One potential tonic against this fallacy is to follow an Italian MP's suggestion and replace "AI" with "SALAMI" ("Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences"). It's a lot easier to keep a clear head when someone asks you, "Is this SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?"

EVENT: Engage with PALOMERA via the Open Access Books Network (OABN)!

- The PALOMERA project is a HORIZON-Europe funded initiative investigating why so few #OA funder policies include #OAbooks. It will produce actionable recommendations to change this.

- The OABN (which I help to coordinate) is hosting a PALOMERA Series, launching Tues 28 March at 3pm BST, so that anyone interested in #OpenAccess books can engage with PALOMERA.

Find out more information about PALOMERA and sign up for the event here: https://openaccessbooksnetwork.hcommons.org/2023/03/02/the-oabn-is-working-with-palomera/

I found this taped to the door of the geography department at GWU today and it brought me so much joy. A guide to figuring out when a map was made based on features. Zoom in. It’s amazing.

Beginning the next big processing job for my digital preservation project. Iterating over all Crossref members, appraising preservation status across all archives for a sample of up to 1,000 DOIs each.

Next steps: wrangle this into a format conducive to nice visualizations...
