Having a serious allergy to drama, I'm trying out Mastodon as a Twitter alternative. For any followers who would like to follow me at the new location, I've put my Mastodon username in my Twitter display name. 1/4

What happens in the longer term is up in the air. Further action by Twitter to stop Mastodon linking and other aggressions will speed up my transition. 3/4

If you'd like me to continue to follow you on Mastodon, make sure to put your Mastodon username in your own profile, so that tools like debirdify, twitodon, and fedifinder can do their work. 4/4

Since we first distributed our #goodOA guide 10 years ago today, over 70 institutions have enacted simpatico #openaccess policies. We'd love to know ([email protected]) if it's helped you too! bit.ly/goodoa h/t @petersuber

Which patents get accepted? How do the standards for innovation evolve over time? What kinds of technologies turn over more quickly? In joint work with Mirac Suzgun @lukemelas @skominers and @pmphlt, we introduce a dataset that may help address questions like these [1/n]

I do not think it is possible to say very much with confidence about the sentience of LaMDA — or of any other computer system — on the basis of transcripts. @pmphlt’s “The Turing Test as Interactive Proof” convincingly explains why not. dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/20… 1/

Exactly 11 years ago today I was on this trip: shbr.link/scouring #uffington #whitehorse #preservation #libraries
If the last two years were a movie, in which scientists develop a near-perfect vaccine for a deadly plague, but half the country won't take it, you'd be like: "This is too dumb to watch."

The results are in this new #ACL2021NLP paper: arxiv.org/abs/2106.06087 Hoping this encourages more work using mediation analysis to reveal internal mechanisms in language models. 4/4

Sometime in the last month, the guide to good practices for university #openaccess policies that I maintain with @pmphlt passed the milestone of 300,000 page views. bit.ly/goodoa

Replying to @CarlosODonell
That’s the most important thing I learned in college. (Unless you count meeting my wife. But we’re still married because I try to make it easy for her to give me an “A”.) Giving credit where it’s due, I learned it from @pmphlt.

I've never asked for retweets before, but please retweet this in an effort to put an end to this madness: tinyurl.com/x3ywt3ca @CNN et. al. Please. It's "MLB," not "the MLB." It stands for "Major League Baseball." No one says "The Major League Baseball is working with. . . ."

Congrats to my grad alma mater @Stanford for their new #openaccess policy, widening the 2010 @StanfordEd policy to the whole university. Fantastic! And thanks go to @StanfordLibs for establishing the new Office of Scholarly Communications. stanford.io/37lKHdB
