Interesting little heated stone arrangement with lots of charcoal and limpets very low in the stratigraphy of Priory Midden. Just the stuff they found at Cnoc Coig but the previous dig stopped 5 cm short of it. Whoops! Excavated by the amazing @hugowhymark.bsky.social 🏺

I am having THE BEST TIME on Oronsay with @niklashausmann.bsky.social @hugowhymark.bsky.social and Kiel University students Nik and Sarah. Playing with GPR (exciting), re-excavating Paul Mellars' trench at Priory Midden (déjà vu), and enjoying the generous hospitality of @rspbscotland.bsky.social

When people use generative AI instead of a human proofreader, the very successful marketing of AI as actual intelligence means that more people are prepared to sacrifice their own style & their own quirks for the sake of a clockwork oracle that doesn't know anything but which replicates other texts.

NEW: OpenAI took 20 million ChatGPT responses and had one of its experts search for chunks of text—specifically chunks of 25 words in a row- that were identical between ChatGPT’s responses and a news article. They found more than 400,000 of these 25-word overlaps between ChatGPT and our articles.

sheffield.ac.uk/technicians/... It's very nice to see that my university chose to celebrate the work of our excellent technicians. Shame, however, that they decided to 'celebrate' the work of our brilliant bioarchaeology technician by making her redundant... @sheffielducu.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk

Some people are asking if there were any "AI optimists." Many students would say something about how AI can be valuable for some things. But I was asking how it effects their education. In my small sample, no, nobody really described it as *improving* their education.
