NEW RESOURCES
Center for Research Libraries: Global Press Archive CRL Alliance Launches Second Ukrainian Collection. “East View Information Services and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) have launched Soviet-Era Ukrainian Newspapers (SEUN), the sixth in-copyright collection of titles produced under the Global Press Archive (GPA) CRL Alliance, available now to all CRL member institutions.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
Lifehacker: You Can Now Hide Your ChatGPT Chats (Without Deleting Them). “If you use it often, your ChatGPT sidebar is probably filled with old and unnecessary conversations you barely use. There might even be some sensitive conversations you don’t want anyone to see. (What’s happens on ChatGPT stays on ChatGPT.) Until now, the only way to get rid of a conversation from the sidebar was to delete it, which meant you’d need to export the chat itself to another place if you had any interest in preservation. But now, ChatGPT has added an option to archive chats without actually deleting them.”
British Library Medieval Manuscripts Blog: Interim information sources for British Library manuscripts. “We are extremely grateful to everyone for their kind words since the recent cyber-attack. We’ve now expanded our temporary website where you can find more information about our available services…. we would like to share with you a list of freely available printed and online resources that provide information about our ancient, medieval and early modern manuscripts.”
USEFUL STUFF
Hongkiat: 10 Alternatives to Google Analytics to Consider. “There are other tools available that might offer a more tailored approach to understanding your site’s visitor data. These alternatives can provide insights that allow you to optimize your website based on user preferences. If you’re exploring other possibilities, here are 10 tools you might consider as alternatives to Google Analytics.”
Larry Ferlazzo: This Week’s Free & Useful Artificial Intelligence Tools For The Classroom. “At least, for now, I’m going to make this a weekly feature which will highlight additions to THE BEST NEW – & FREE – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS THAT COULD BE USED IN THE CLASSROOM. Here are the latest.”
AROUND THE INTERNET WORLD
VICE: At Leading Anti-Hate Group, Boss’s Embrace of Elon Musk Raises Tensions. “Late last year, Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, joined CNBC to discuss Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, and said something that shocked his rank-and-file employees. ‘Elon Musk is an amazing entrepreneur and extraordinary innovator,’ he said. ‘He is the Henry Ford of our time.'”
TechCrunch: The first annual VTuber Awards was a win for VR. “Filian, a streamer with over 766,000 Twitch followers, hosted the first annual VTuber Awards last weekend. Like many VTubers — a portmanteau of ‘virtual YouTuber’ — Filian keeps her identity secret, and instead of showing her real face, streams using a digital model. Filian was physically hosting the ceremony from an enclosed green box in WePlay’s Los Angeles studio, a space typically used for esports events.”
SECURITY & LEGAL
Ars Technica: FTC suggests new rules to shift parents’ burden of protecting kids to websites. “The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently seeking comments on new rules that would further restrict platforms’ efforts to monetize children’s data.”
RESEARCH & OPINION
LiveScience: Biased AI can make doctors’ diagnoses less accurate. “The research, published Tuesday (Dec. 19) in the JAMA, tested a specific AI system designed to help doctors reach a diagnosis. They found that it did indeed help clinicians more accurately diagnose patients, and if the AI ‘explained’ how it made its decision, their accuracy increased even more. But when the researchers tested an AI that was programmed to be intentionally biased toward giving specific diagnoses to patients with certain attributes, its use decreased the clinicians’ accuracy.”
Newswise: Who wrote it? The AI ghostwriter effect. “Large language models (LLMs) radically speed up text production in a variety of use cases. When they are fed with samples of our individual writing style, they are even able to produce texts that sound as though we ourselves wrote them. In other words, they act as AI ghostwriters creating texts on our behalf. As with human ghostwriting, this raises a number of questions on authorship and ownership.” Good afternoon, Internet…
