Let me start by changing my own practices! 🤦♂️ But I think the recent reporting checklist paper at NHB (led by @sfeuerriegel.bsky.social) is relevant to the discussion. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Absolutely required reading for computational social scientists e.g. people at #ic2s2 this week
J. Nathan MatiasWhen people seek guidance from science, they expect it to work more than once. I have TWO new articles on commercial forces & proprietary models that make science less reliable, with pointers to communities and ideas that might help. This post offers a summary: citizensandtech.org/2026/07/comm...
Including evidence that AI Slop takes revenue from real authors. The key long term effect --- human authors, already facing long odds, leaving the scene entirely --- will be devastating for literature (as it will be for music and other arts).
Tuhin Chakrabarty🚨 New paper on AI & Copyright Using @pangram.com full-text AI detection, we study self-published genre fiction on Amazon, 2023–26. Amazon is flooded w/ books with substantial AI text. They earn real 💰 & crowd out non-AI books. w/ @dhillonp.bsky.social @xinyuel.bsky.social & Jane Ginsburg (1/n) 🧵
AI-assisted fiction is already here, tons of people are reading it, very few of them realize it, and no one wants to talk about it. Gift link to my latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
This is a more relaxed example than "person finds his death at rally" kind of headline, but: Kids, don't use the passive voice unless absolutely necessary (and definitely not when it can create confusion).
The New York TimesFrom @theathleticfc.bsky.social: A leading Democratic lawmaker has written to FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request that he appear before the House Judiciary Committee in a fresh attempt to scrutinize his organization’s relationship with the Trump administration.

Ethan MollickHere are 58 words of prompts to GPT-5.6 Pro that got the model to discover that the long-standing Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture is false. Increasingly, prompt crafting is over-rated, ask for what you want. (Which itself can be a hard problem)
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 this: "The Internet's trust architecture—built around authenticating devices and users—was never designed for autonomous entities capable of making independent decisions."
Justin HendrixFor decades we regarded the Internet as infrastructure used primarily by people. Following the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident, Konstantinos Komaitis argues AI agents challenge that assumption—and AI governance can no longer stay separate from Internet governance.
Why AI detection is a losing battle for everyone. If readers use it, writers will use it too (and their AI can even help them avoid it).

Since everyone is sub-tweeting "is ChatGPT search" takes, here's the origin. And yes of course Chat is not 10-blue-links search but of course people do use it to search the web which, in functionality, makes it "search". Now what are the limitations and whether people perceive them is another q 😱
FX CoudertIronically, as @mart1oeil.eu showed, there are telltale signs that the piece was edited with ChatGPT: many links include "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" If even Science editorial team cannot afford good human editing, that's worrying
We wrote this paper to be useful to multiple fields, not just psychology. I hope it's useful to folks in Communication, HCI, and other fields studying socio-technical questions
Killian McLoughlinBefore psychologists build a body of knowledge on quicksand, we wanted to add our voices to those highlighting the problems with using proprietary LLMs in research and offer some low cost, straightforward solutions.
Lol @kashhill.bsky.social, as always: insightful, startling, and funny. "Because romance sells, the professors thought it would be the genre most susceptible to AI intervention... instead it was nonfiction—a term that should probably be used loosely in this context" www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/t...
