AI research is "Eating your own dog food" kind of field. It's both amusing and predictable.

Major AI conference flooded with peer reviews written fully by AI nature.com/articles/d41586-025…
"Controversy has erupted after 21% of manuscript reviews for an international AI conference were found to be generated by artificial intelligence. "

How did they find out, you ask? With the help of AI models, of course. "EditLens: Quantifying the Extent of AI Editing in Textmodel." arxiv.org/abs/2510.03154

EditLens: Quantifying the Extent of AI Editing in Text

A significant proportion of queries to large language models ask them to edit user-provided text, rather than generate new text from scratch.

Does anyone have access to doi.org/10.1038/s41559-025-029…, this is a comment in Science titled "Twenty-five years of misinterpreting the biodiversity hotspot approach". Couldn’t find it in the usual places.

Last year, I sent some #clay that I collected to the University of West Georgia Archaeology Dept and they just sent me the results of their experiment. They tested how the addition of sponge spicules (or fired sea sponge) affects the strength of the fired clay. This method of tempering clay isn't common but evidence of its use can be found in pottery shards throughout the world, including here in SW #Florida. Anyway, how cool to be able to assist in scientific #research.
About two dozen dark gray bars of clay lined up in rows, sitting on a wooden table in what seems to be an institutional setting (school lab).
A small, orange-brown, fired rectangle of clay being held by a three-point bend test machine. It's metal with two control panels attached to wires.
Two graduated cylinders. One filled with dry, pulverized gray clay and the other filled with black pulverized burned sea sponge (sponge spicules).
A poster summarizing students' research results titled "Evaluating the Performance Characteristics of Spiculate-Tempered Pottery." There are four blue squares, one in each corner, filled with text with the headings: Introduction, Methods, Materials, Discussion. The rest of the poster is filled photos of test materials, microscopic images, graphs and tables. If you're really interested in the entire contents of this image, message me and I will send you a pdf with readable text.

Very displeased with one of my Alma Maters!

#Cornell Reaches Deal with #Trump Admin to Restore #Research #Funding

The Ivy League #university had warned of #layoffs after the Trump admin stripped it of funds this year. The cuts were among the deepest in higher #education.
