This might be the last hurrah for my book, as the paperback is now out! I had absolutely no luck getting it reviewed anywhere, so here is my last ditch attempt to market my odd book about Max Stirner, modernism and manifestos:

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Hello @springernature.com - you’ve just published another bit of nonsense in Scientific Reports 🙁

Uhh,,, Figure 1 shows you... what exactly? Trying to understand Medical fryrmbial, runctitional features and mum's legs going through concrete.

This whole article is a bit of a disaster. And it's very difficult to find other published work for the author. Strange! 🧪

(via @smutclyde.bsky.social)
Text says: This section provides a comprehensive description of the methodology employed in this study to develop an explainable XAI framework for ASD diagnosis and parental support. The proposed framework integrates the TabPFNMix regressor, a state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) model for tabular data, with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to ensure both high predictive accuracy and interpretability. The methodology is structured into five subsections: (1) Dataset Description, (2) TabPFNMix Overview, (3) SHAP for Explainability, (4) Framework Design, and (5) Evaluation Metrics. Figure 1 shows the overall methodology. Informed consent was obtained from all participants involved in the study, and, where applicable, consent was obtained from legal guardians for minor participants as approved by the IRB. And then Figure 1 is shown with lots of AI errors on the image. An absolutely totally fine this can be published in a science journal image that purports to show how the study was carried out but instead is just AI slop.

Amused to view an academic article and see that the journal it's in abbreviates its own name to "New Global Stud"

(it's New Global Studies. The abbreviation barely saves any space at all! But it's funny so I'll allow it)

Why read Lacan, why learn all these super-subtle forms of ideological critique, when the big guy is out there posting diarrhoea jet fighter videos. What are we doing here.

Great paper outlining the fundamental flaws of using AI detection tools in educational institutions.

Any student accused by one of these tools should submit the paper as part of their case.

Any university using the tool is asking to get sued, with this paper being submitted as evidence.
