What’s crazy is people have been waving a red flag about Substack profiting on health disinformation for years. It was actually the original problem before Substack courted and began profiting from Nazism. I don’t get why anyone who does work on the information ecosystem can justify publishing there
Substack has an antiscience health disinformation problem.
MAD recognizes the importance (& influence) of media ownership – which is why we are sounding warnings about Substack.

Substack has a Nazi problem AND a health disinformation problem
Substack creators and Substack audiences are supporting a platform that profits off of promoting dangerous antiscience content – at the expense of public health.

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

OpenAI Tries to Shift Responsibility to Users
OpenAI is trying to shift the blame for bad legal and medical advice from its chatbot away from the company and onto users. We agree that no chatbot should be used for medical or legal advice.

"The advent of large language models have made this type of content relatively easy to churn out on demand, and the majority of the review articles we receive are little more than annotated bibliographies, with no substantial discussion of open research issues."
arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.
This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

I think that the ethnographic work that anthropologists are doing is important, but I can't help noticing that it often seems to boil down to "vibes", and that hurts the discipline. Open data is a way to push back against that impression, and the strong opposition to it is counterproductive imho.
