#ChatGPT’s answers can be a little off.

Google is much better at providing facts.

It’s not able to create a true creative work of art.

But it might be just the right kind of tool to help you break through writer’s block and get the creative juices flowing

I was asking symbiotic.fyi/ about the main contributions of our recently submitted #JCDL paper. It worked surprisingly well.
Try it out yourself. You can upload a paper, get a summary and ask questions about the content.

@marsianica Me too, but I guess this deprives us of an easy way to improve our quality of life…

I'm continuing recent discussions of Spellbreaker over at Gold Machine. Today, I talk about its rising critical fortunes over the years while making general introductions.

Going through my reading list, I rediscovered this interesting interview with Marisa Parham lareviewofbooks.org/article/di:

[…] if I am answering honestly, I do think I am working in the digital humanities. It is so fascinating to me, because I do a lot of very technical things, like programming and coding, and there are people in DH who say “well that's not digital humanities, that's just programming.” And then I do things that are more theoretical and critical, and that isn't considered digital humanities either. This gets to the definitional question of what are we talking about when we use the term “digital humanities.” Is it about method, or about the object of inquiry, or about a tool?

The web is an informational paradise and a hellscape at the same time. But there are concrete ways in which we can protect ourselves from information overload.

BREAKING: Getty Images just filed a copyright and trademark infringement lawsuit against Stability AI in Delaware District Court. Getty alleges that Stability copied more than 12 million Getty photos to train Stable Diffusion. Full complaint here: copyrightlately.com/pdfviewer/

@shriramk Interestingly, DeepL’s translation into German is more literal:

Ich danke Ihnen für die wohlwollende Prüfung dieses Schreibens und versichere Sie, Herr Dekan, meiner vorzüglichen Hochachtung.

It’s always fun to translate French formal closings:

French: En vous remerciant de bien vouloir considérer la présente avec bienveillance, je vous prie de croire, Monsieur le Doyen, à l’assurance de ma considération très distinguée.

English: Thank you for your kind consideration of this letter.

I guess “of this letter” already makes this excessively verbose ;-)

Interesting new research on the of researchers:

Riccardo Fini, Julien Jourdan, Markus Perkmann, and Laura Toschi: “A New Take on the Categorical Imperative: Gatekeeping, Boundary Maintenance, and Evaluation Penalties in Science” doi.org/10.1287/orsc.2022.1610

#Pandoc 3 introduced #Markdown support for #wikilinks:

[[pandoc|https:/‌/github.com]]

There is no consensus across tools whether the link title should come before or after the pipe character, so pandoc supports both. Choose by enabling either of the new extensions
+wikilinks_title_after_pipe
or
+wikilinks_title_before_pipe

Works with #CommonMark, too: for GitHub wiki input, use gfm+wikilinks_title_after_pipe

Twitter killt die freie API und damit viele spannende Projekte.

Come to think of it, not so different from some chatGPT answers I have read...😁

I had the great honor of reviewing 1 of the best contributions to #history of #science in 2022 - THE SQUARES (by @ccmmody; Open Access at MIT Press): muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/879

Here`s my own take on how a square scientist - a representative of the "silent majority" in the 1970s - looked like:
