Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

“There have been lots of AI-generated articles, and those typically get noticed and retracted quickly,” Heiss tells Rolling Stone. He mentions a paper retracted earlier this month, which discussed the potential to improve autism diagnoses with an AI model and included a nonsensical infographic that was itself created with a text-to-image model. “But this hallucinated journal issue is slightly different,” he says.

That’s because articles which include references to nonexistent research material — the papers that don’t get flagged and retracted for this use of AI, that is — are themselves being cited in other papers, which effectively launders their erroneous citations. This leads to students and academics (and any large language models they may ask for help) identifying those “sources” as reliable without ever confirming their veracity. The more these false citations are unquestioningly repeated from one article to the next, the more the illusion of their authenticity is reinforced. Fake citations have turned into a nightmare for research librarians, who by some estimates are wasting up to 15 percent of their work hours responding to requests for nonexistent records that ChatGPT or Google Gemini alluded to.

This is why the best practice in research if you're citing something in a paper that is itself cited, you go back to the original paper and cite that after you've checked to make sure that's what the paper says.

i need to know, do you think american phannies know what dnp are quoting whenever they reference 'we're just normal men' cos they do it quite often and it always makes me laugh and i dunno if that reference is well known in the us or not

Imagine your son is Mr Internet the Internet Star who was professionally innovative on youtube and recreationally loses infinite hours to tiktok, and when he visits he will sometimes bring his long-term partner Mr Internet the Internet Star who he met through the internet, who he now shares a very popular professional youtube channel with, and who recreationally loses his temper at online gaming and cultivates the weirdest instagram algorithm possible, and you still have a dial up modem

The homophobia of these hotel mystery stains will do nothing to stop the pure joy that these two people are experiencing right now

I know. I just saw that on TikTok. I can't attach both videos, so you'll have to go to Twitter to see the first. But the second has the crux of the story.

In short, he was running (exercising), and a fan began to chase him, and as he was running away, he nearly got hit by a car.

People have seriously lost their minds. He's a human being. If he's out on his own and/or he's running, he's not working. He is not doing fan service 24/7. DON'T CHASE him just to get your social media clout. It's gross and inhumane.

I completely understand the excitement of seeing your fave out on the street, and I understand wanting to go up to them and say hello. But there are two important things to understand.

The first, and simplest: when artists are out on the street, at a restaurant, at their hotel, or anywhere unrelated to their work, they owe you absolutely nothing. They’re not working, so they don’t have to stop and chat with you if they don’t want to. They don’t have to take a photo with you if they don’t want to. They don’t have to do anything.

And the second thing, which is even more important: THEY ARE HUMAN. THEY ARE PEOPLE. Harassment is not justifiable because someone is a public figure. If you’re running after your favorite artist crying and screaming while they’re simply jogging, walking, or minding their own business, and your panic causes them to panic or become distracted, you could cause an accident.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem to) view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

for clarification, AI here is referring to generative AI, rather than closed or custom-made LLMs

He fell asleep in his bed, at home, and woke up at the goddamn grocery store with an overhead light in his face if that happened to you you’d become The Joker

Poor guy’s only been here for like a dozen weeks he doesn’t even have a favorite show to distract him yet he’s just raw-dogging reality unfiltered with no goddamn Blorbos to rotate whatsoever

Dude has, at this point, one communication signal.

Fortunately for him, it is a very important communication signal, especially given what he's going through right now. It says, "This is, in some way, unsatisfactory." Unfortunately, it's not very specific and he doesn't understand much about how to deploy it.

You have to understand, the stomach ache that he has right now is the worst stomach ache in the universe, because as far as he's concerned, the universe is maybe a month old and there's been a limited number of stomach aches in it. Or, the loneliness and anguish he felt when he couldn't see you was the most terrifying isolation in the universe, akin to being adrift in the Boötes Void, for the very same reason. He does not have guidelines to cope with these things. He has barely accumulated enough of a dataset to start evaluating things like, "Most times, when people I know go away, they will reappear eventually," or, "that particular stomach ache will go away if I eat something." He doesn't even know which particular problems can be cured and which can't. He just knows that "technique: scream like fucking banshee" does have some sort of a success rate.

And it's his only move, you think he's not gonna spam it? Get real.

I’ve finally given in to my body and gotten a seat for this tour. According to the venue doors are at 6pm. Do I still need to get there super early like I did for GA? Or is it different?
