Well if there’s one good thing, we’ve learned over the last few decades that people always embrace the US and democracy after their leaders are removed by the US military. So this should work out — hold on, I’m getting an update …

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

Finally, if you can get through the paywall this piece from earlier in the week illuminates how the experience above is just a tiny part of an industrial-scale, global, and sector-wide catastrophe of AI and citations to nonexistent papers in academic publishing bsky.app/profile/mile...
Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

We’ve created the perfect sickness storm because whether you have covid or not right now, whatever sickness you have is probably worse because Covid damaged your immune system or other organs. But still we do almost nothing to prevent or reduce multiple Covid infections.

“It is not acceptable to recruit a variety of students into the laboratory, subject them to a variety of stress tests and abuses, and then keep the students who thrive under abuse and get rid of the students who aren't able to thrive in the lab. That's straight-up exploitation.”

my most woke belief is that most of the world's suffering stems from systems of inequity enforced with violence at the sadistic behest of an incurious & frightened elite; liberal democratic governments believe their responsibility is to provide them with labourers, and we can change it all today.
