This morning, I had the distinct honour of giving the opening keynote at #RSECon26: "Where does the rigour go? Research software and the future of trustworthy science" The core argument: AI is making it dramatically cheaper to produce plausible scientific outputs, without necessarily making them cheaper to check. The scarce resources are shifting towards attention, judgment, and verification. This is no doubt a disruptive time for research software engineers and research more generally. For Research Software Engineers specifically I think that creates some important new opportunities around: encoding domain judgment, building verification infrastructure, connecting agents to reality, and helping ensure that the emerging verification layer for science remains open. Thanks to everyone at RSECon26 for the thoughtful discussion, and especially to the many people whose work and ideas I that heavily influenced this talk. Link to slides in first comment

A new report from the Project Liberty Institute, Social Web Foundation, Public AI, & @modalfoundation.eurosky.social stresses the importance of continued dialogue to create shared problem definitions, priorities, and identify next steps across research, standards development, and gov communities.
Very proud to be making my @assignedmedia.org debut with this fascinating & farcical exposé! Someone — we don’t yet know who — has been bombarding the US government with blatantly machine-generated comments. All of them ask for one thing: make it harder for trans people to legally buy firearms.

Before July 21 the response to the Trump administration's anti-trans gun rule was overwhelmingly negative. Almost overnight it changed. But 96 percent of influx of comments supporting the rule appear to come from bots. New EXCLUSIVE investigation by Io Dodds. assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/swarm-of-bots-p…
