Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."
Heed these words!
“It is NEVER a good time, to bow down to a tyrant…don’t give in to the lies.”- Jim Acosta, Jan 2025

If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.
If the Nuzzi blast radius doesn't impact both the new editor of VF and the NYT profiler, then something wrong. Holy shit.

Use of a closed environment means your data isn’t being sent to amazon or similar for computing. I was told in a meeting recently that a closed environment didn’t matter because everyone in the industry ignores that. 👎
This is an obvious privacy issue, but also a reproducibility issue.

Ultimately, this is an ethics issue. You should have these conversations to learn ethics of new collaborators.
Ethical use of AI requires full disclosure of prompts and use of a closed environment. Full disclosure to collaborators is a no brainer, but it should be disclosed to readers too.

I was chatting to a collaborator about this only last week. We think you need to have a chat with every collaborator and coauthor at the beginning of a research project about whether or not they use LLMs, how (if so) and to be clear if any words have been prepared by LLM.

The arrests — often at courthouses or ICE check-ins — have led to a surge of litigation. But that could be changing: a judge in California last week granted a national class action, and judges in MA and CO have certified statewide classes. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

as awful as this is, these examples kinda make me feel giddy and validated, given how i normally feel about our current peer review practices. my personal experience unfortunately has never been consistent with academics' general regard of peer review as a net benefit despite its flaws.

“Whilst the details of peer review are confidential, we can confirm that the article underwent two rounds of review from two independent peer reviewers, supporting an accept decision.”
How am I now expected to believe that two people looked at the paper twice and DGAF?

i’d push back on this a little — from the start, the MAHA pitch ended with buying the wellness scams and supplements its leaders directly sold (or profited from via affiliate marketing). they haven’t really hidden it
The MAHA pitch was supposed to be that Americans don’t really need insurance, vaccines, or other “establishment” medical care — they just need better nutrition and less exposure to environmental toxins.
