NEW RESOURCES
Union of European Football Associations: Finland: Scientific research on football in one database. “The Football Association of Finland, in cooperation with the University of Jyväskylä, has launched a new database that compiles Finnish scientific research on football, futsal and other football-related formats in one place.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
Mashable: Reddit’s John Oliver-themed protest on r/pics just went to a whole new level. “Popular subreddits are continuing to protest Reddit’s upcoming API changes via the medium of comedian John Oliver, and things are only getting stranger.”
Skift: Google and Tripadvisor Could Be Edging Toward a New Partnership After All These Years. “Tripadvisor is currently attempting a turnaround under a new CEO hired in 2022, and one of the reasons it needs one is Google had used its market power to divert users to sponsored ads and take back the free traffic Tripadvisor benefited from…. But earlier this month, that new Tripadvisor CEO, Matt Goldberg, said at an investor conference that his company is having ‘really good conversations’ with Google about a potential partnership.”
AROUND THE INTERNET WORLD
Glasgow Times: Sea shanty TikTok star’s success will be explored by documentary . “Nathan Evans, a former postman from Airdrie, became successful after he uploaded a video of himself singing a sea shanty. Now, a BBC Scotland documentary will follow him as he attempts to capitalise on the fame.”
Columbia Journalism Review: Reddit goes to war with its volunteer moderators. “…even if Huffman is right, and the ‘going dark’ protests prove a flash in the pan, the company’s drive for profitability will likely change the nature of the site and its communities, perhaps irrevocably, as seems to be happening at Musk’s Twitter. What emerges may be better for investors (although that is still very much an open question). But it could be worse for users.”
SECURITY & LEGAL
The Root: Is Tasha K About to Get Sued by Cardi B…Again?. “If aversion to the phrase ‘don’t write a check with your mouth that your butt can’t cash’ was a person, it would be YouTuber Tasha K. Why? Because even after a long, litigious battle with Cardi B., that’s resulted in her having to pay the rapper over $4 million, she still hasn’t learned to keep her mouth shut. I’ll explain.”
Evening Standard: ChatGPT: Over 100,000 stolen accounts listed on the dark web, report says. “More than 101,000 ChatGPT accounts have been stolen using malicious software over the past year. Cybersecurity researchers discovered the information within the archives of malware traded on illicit dark web marketplaces, according to a new report.”
RESEARCH & OPINION
Wyss Institute (Harvard): Now, every biologist can use machine learning. “Their platform, called BioAutoMATED, can use sequences of nucleic acids, peptides, or glycans as input data, and its performance is comparable to other AutoML platforms while requiring minimal user input. The platform is described in a new paper published in Cell Systems and is available to download from GitHub.”
Stanford University: A Blueprint for Using AI in Psychotherapy. “Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Anxiety disorder will affect almost one-third of U.S. adults during their lifetime. Problems of mental health are burdensome and ubiquitous. And while it’s true that AI holds tremendous potential for improving the science and practice of psychotherapy, it remains a definitively high-stakes area. The goal is not simply to increase efficiency of treatment but also improve lives — and avoid outcomes as grave as suicide.”
The Guardian: Eye-tracking glasses show viewers of Bosch triptych are drawn to hell. “Despite its lush and lustful depictions of a prelapsarian world and the myriad temptations of the flesh, the most arresting part of Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights appears to be the final panel of the famous triptych, in which pleasure’s price is paid, excruciatingly and inventively, for all eternity. According to new research commissioned by Madrid’s Prado museum, where Bosch’s masterpiece has hung for almost a century, visitors’ eyes are most drawn to the hell panel where sinning flesh is pierced, processed and punished.” Good afternoon, Internet…
