  Don’t ask me why, but I came up with an ‘adversarial graph coloring game’, where players each color a vertex per turn, and the first player who is forced to color a vertex connected to a vertex they already coloured loses. Is this game and its complexity known? #maths #math #mathgames

  Falsifying data in a statistical analysis is a fireable offence, but erasing women from the scientific record is business as usual https://olivia.science/cryptogyny/

  "In this position piece, we tease apart and explain why phrases like ‘generative AI’ impede scholarly discussion because by design these expressions are used to dazzle and sidestep scrutiny. (...) [U]niversities must take their role seriously to a) counter the AI industry’s marketing, hype, and harm; and to b) safeguard higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, and scientific integrity." -- @olivia Guest et al.

  "While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests." -- Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij (2025) https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/ai-will-not-save-higher-education-but-may-destroy-it-by-olivia-guest-and-iris-van-rooij-2025-10...

  If you are doing academic work in AI, but cannot see the technofascist project called "AI" for what it is, how are we to trust your work does not support that project?

  Advice for @ERC_Research : Prohibit the use of LLMs for grant writing. Let applicants sign a declaration that they have not used such systems and that the text is written by them and them alone.

  https://olivia.science/cheating/ "using AI is not victimless (...) Often you not only are the product — yes, they will steal and sell your data — but you are also robbed of learning. When the hype inevitably dies down, as it has done many times before, through AI summers and winters (see my talk here if you were not aware of these cycles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DHgVkIWhig), you want to have skills. You want to have a degree that matters." -- @olivia

  Your “pro-AI in academia”-argument, accompanied by an AI slop image that has synthetic text that does not even spell real words, is not as convincing as you may think it is.

  Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable. However, researchers @Iris and @olivia at Radboud University and others show new proof that those claims are overblown and unlikely to ever come to fruition. Their findings are published in Computational Brain & Behavior today. https://www.ru.nl/en/research/research-news/dont-believe-the-hype-agi-is-far-from-inevitable
