#Vegetative #electron #microscopy” is #nonsense. And yet several scientific #papers have included the phrase over the past few years.

When two papers from the 1950s were digitized, two columns of text may have been read together incorrectly, the “vegetative” from one column smushed up with the “electron microscopy” in the other.

The #researchers discovered the phrase started showing up in responses generated by #OpenAI’s GPT 3.0, which was released in 2020.

Bad brainwaves: ChatGPT makes you stupid

In a new study, MIT Media Lab measured 55 people over four months on how well they could write an essay — either with ChatGPT, with a search engine, or just their unassisted brain. The researchers hooked them to an EEG to see which parts of their brains were active or not. [arXiv, PDF] The […]

Ah, I'm lucky I never deleted all emails from Academia.edu, there are many valuable journals and papers that I haven't read yet.

Switched from Gnome Evice (default documentviewer for pdf) to Gnome Papers and really impressed.

Was annoyed by some minor Evince bugs which over time motivated enough to look for something else. Turned out Paper is actively developed and even has: Dark Mode.

Although Dark Mode is expected everywhere nowadays, few PDF viewers have it. On Windows I only found one, unmaintened.
