After his Ignoble Disgrace, Satan was being expelled from
Heaven. As he passed through the Gates, he paused a moment in thought,
and turned to God and said, "A new creature called Man, I hear, is soon
to be created."
"This is true," He replied.
"He will need laws," said the Demon slyly.
"What! You, his appointed Enemy for all Time! You ask for the
right to make his laws?"
"Oh, no!" Satan replied…

ISMAF: Intrinsic-Social Modality Alignment and Fusion for Multimodal Rumor Detection
The rapid dissemination of rumors on social media highlights the urgent need for automatic detection methods to safeguard societal trust and stability. While existing multimodal rumor detection models primarily emphasize capturing consistency between intrinsic modalities (e.g., news text and images), they often overlook the intricate interplay between intrinsic and social modalities. This limitation hampers the ability to fully capture nuanced relationships that are crucial for a comprehensive …

It's good that bigger mainstreamer people such as John Oliver are also talking about the "AI slop" era and phenomenon. I do think he was a bit too charitable though.
AI slop is not just bad visuals, it's the esthetic of modern fascism.

Revision of conservative lower bound on intergalactic magnetic field from Fermi and Cherenkov telescope observations of extreme blazars
Joint observations of extreme blazars with Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) have been previously used to derive lower bounds on intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF). We update these previous bounds using a set of extreme blazars that are detected in the Very-High-Energy (VHE, photon energies above 100 GeV) band by both Fermi/LAT and IACTs. We measure IGMF-dependent suppression of secondary delayed gamma-ray flux from electron-positron pairs dep…

Jag upplever mer och mer att usla meta-analyser används för att få saker att framstå som etablerad vetenskap när stödet bakom påståendet egentligen är uselt. Under pandemin var det flera sidor som påstods sig ha i princip realtidsuppdaterade meta-analyser som var av den här typen och sen har det fortsatt bli vanligare, tycker jag.

A Design Space for Visualization Transitions of 3D Spatial Data in Hybrid AR-Desktop Environments
We present a design space for animated transitions of the appearance of 3D spatial datasets in a hybrid Augmented Reality (AR)-desktop context. Such hybrid interfaces combine both traditional and immersive displays to facilitate the exploration of 2D and 3D data representations in the environment in which they are best displayed. One key aspect is to introduce transitional animations that change between the different dimensionalities to illustrate the connection between the different representa…
