From a #blog post by a former #editor of a #medical #journal about the sad state of things in journal #publishing: “[W]ith the encroachment of #AI, I imagine things will get worse before they get better. … We must be very careful, for we are losing something precious.” https://tinyurl.com/3hfb9895

So many #editors have benefited from @nprofile…rjrt's website & her book, The Conscious Style Guide. Karen & her partner, Ingin, lost their home to the #California #fires. Please consider contributing to #GoFundMe to help them begin to get back on their feet. 💚 https://tinyurl.com/mwceyxbp

Many thanks to #editor Melanie Thompson for this on #ArtificialIntelligence: “…the concerns that are emerging—not least its impact, … particularly [on] #publishing, and its unseen impact on the #environment. https://www.melaniethompson.co.uk/learning-to-live-with-ai/

“The parents of a former #OpenAI researcher … found #dead in a San Francisco apartment have hired an independent investigator. … [Suchir] Balaji died just 3 months after publicly accusing OpenAI of #violating U.S. #copyright #law. …” https://tinyurl.com/yz6fksp9

Not at all worrisome. 😲 “The British-Canadian computer scientist often touted as a ‘godfather’ of artificial intelligence has shortened the odds of #AI wiping out humanity over the next three decades, warning the pace of change in the technology is 'much faster' than expected." https://tinyurl.com/yvvwa6f8

Double-check the #news you read, because #ArtificialIntelligence may have #hallucinated it. Apple Intelligence did so about the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0elzk24dno H/T to @nprofile…2uaj for pointing out the issue via AI Sidequest, at https://ai-sidequest.beehiiv.com/p/merriam-webster-expanding-thesaurus-with-ai.

It seems #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) can deceive. “On Dec. 5, a paper released by AI safety nonprofit Apollo Research found that in certain contrived scenarios, today’s cutting-edge AI systems can engage in deceptive behavior in pursuit of their goals.” https://time.com/7202312/new-tests-reveal-ai-capacity-for-deception/ #AmEditing

#Authors and non-editors, this post is for you. Want to know why most #editors don't think #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) should be invited into #BookPublishing? Please read the blog post at https://defector.com/theres-no-shortcut-to-publishing-a-book. We must all pay attention to this issue so that publishing doesn't go away.

I have several #lists of people I follow on X (Twitter). Each list has its own name, such as All the Editors, Editorial Professionals 1, Editorial Professionals 2, and Medical Resources. Is there an app that will import them all to my #Mastodon account? Would be so happy to know of one!

#Authors, this is why you need a human #editor rather than #AI: https://lisacordaro.com/2022/02/07/computer-says-no/ #AmEditing

With all the boosterism about #ArtificialIntelligence out there, you might want to read what a #librarian thinks about #AI: that it’s a destructive force. https://violetbfox.info/against-ai/

Please, fellow US citizens, do not #vote by mail in the presidential election. Our postal service is operating with the speed & accuracy of the Pony Express. That means you could end up being #disenfranchised. Vote in person. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/11/election-2024-mail-ballots-voting-postal-service/6246dc26-7057-11ef-ad92-518728118b4a_story.html

#Editors, here's a helpful tip from Kristina Lundberg about The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition: "In the online version, put 'departure' into the search bar to find entries in which the advice has departed from previous editions." https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7230234304180535296-X4h8/ #CMOS18 #AmEditing
