“I’m not a regular lecturer; I’m a cool lecturer,” you tell yourself, as you reference another tv show cancelled before your students were born.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

I would never cite anyone else’s citation that I couldn’t personally confirm, but I’m not a successful academic, so what do I know.

To paraphrase Tolstoy, all AI written papers are crappy in a similar fashion, whereas human written papers are all crappy in their own special way.

Edited volumes are fantastic, as they bring together such a diverse mix of talents: guy who missed the deadline; guy who significantly missed the deadline; and guy who forgot they agreed to contribute

but just think of all the mining we'll be able to get done when we're no longer distracted by the sounds of those canaries
Went into 2025 with no new year's resolutions, didn't have a great year. In 2026, I resolve to fix my entire life and all my failures as a person, though I already suspect that won't work out either.
It's a dialectic approach, it will all come together in 2027

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.
Agree with the sentiment, though some lower ranked universities I've been at standardly provided more access than Oxford or Cambridge.
Shoutout to the staff at @hpslib for buying every niche text I've ever requested. Instead of chatgpt, talk to your librarians!
Imagine being at a university like Harvard or Oxford and using AI to think and write. The whole world is unpaywalled to you. The world's most beautiful and well stocked libraries are open to you. What a waste.
