📢 AI 'news' are easy to make and hard to detect!
Did you know that there's already 1K+ scammy LLM-powered 'news' sites? In #ACL2024 paper led by @gpuccetti92, we show that such 'news' are too easy to produce (even beyond English) - and nearly impossible to detect 'in the wild'.

I have now used the Better Place exclusively for a month:
- more cool papers than I can read
- engagement 100500x better
- #NLProc network largely re-created
- all the conferences present
- much better for mental health & arc of the moral universe
See you there.

- I saw reports from several people posting the same content here and there as an experiment, who all reported getting better engagement there, despite fewer followers
- Official conference accounts: FaCCT, all chapters of ACL, CoLM, Neurips, ICML, ICLR

The Better Place update for last week:
- at least 2.5K new #NLProc people, judging by the number of those who used Maria's starter pack
- ACL, COLM, FAccT, ICLR have joined
- much better engagement with content you post, external links aren't penalized
See you there!
The only piece of good news this morning is that in the bluer place, Maria Antoniak made a starter pack of #NLProc people already there. It's pinned in her profile. Feels surreal to have real engagement on posts and see real conversations.

Time is running out to apply for postdoc/PhD positions in beautiful Copenhagen! PhD applications can also be made through the ELLIS network (by Nov 15).
The earliest possible starting date is January 1, but later dates can also be negotiated.
📢 #NLProc I'm hiring! 2x PhD students (apply by Nov 22) & postdoc (Nov 15). These positions are part of a large project on the problem of attribution for LLM outputs to the original data sources, on which LLMs were trained.

🥳 The party in the bluer place goes on, join if you haven't! It's even hard to believe - at least 1K NLP researchers seem to have joined in the past few days. This is just one of many cool starter packs.

Join the #NLProc party in the other place if you haven't yet! I've never seen a network to grow so fast, at least two hundred new people in the last couple of days. Maria's starter pack has also grown.

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

For liberals, it is easier to blame “fascism” (or “white rural rage,” or “deplorables,” or “Christian nationalists”) for causing our country’s problems than the deregulatory, financialized, and militarist neoliberalism of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Those liberal priorities helped give rise to the modern right — but to admit that, liberal elites would have to reexamine the premises of their politics, and soul-searching is far less enjoyable than rallying against an unambiguous enemy.

📢 Please remember to fill in your preferences for the design of @ReviewAcl!
Also please RT: the official ACL post I quote is probably getting demoted because of the link to the survey.

"Although these #election posts represent a small fraction of the dozens of posts Musk publishes each day, each one had an average of 9.3 million views... such high audience engagement... could set the stage for possible post-election chaos": cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-t… #ethics #X

🇩🇰🥳🥂 At the launch of Danish H100 supercomputer 'Gefion'.
Fun fact: Gefion is a Norse goddess assoc. with ploughing. Acc. to the myth, a woman was allowed to take as much land as she could plough in a day. I guess nowadays it's "as many research papers at you have GPUs for"?

This survey has also been e-mailed to all ACL members, and it will also be emailed through ARR to people in the pool of recent conferences. Its results will be input to the discussion of ACL Standing Peer Review Committee, which will produce a recommendation for ACL exec. /3
