Ah, redefining heritability to fit your narrative, the classic academic sleight of hand 🤡. Just when you thought life span was a genetic lottery, they change the rules 📊🔮. Next up: how redefining "exercise" means eating chips counts as a workout 🏋️‍♂️🍟.

A #study testing 13 #LLMs found that all can be used to commit #academicfraud or facilitate #junkscience. While some models, like Claude, were more resistant to fraudulent requests, others, like Grok and early GPT versions, performed poorly. The study highlights the need for developers to implement stronger #safeguards against #misuse of LLMs. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00595-9?eicker.news #tech #media #news

As envisioned, a substantial peripheral benefit of this plan would be recapture of funds now being diverted to support the unquenchable needs of psychologically damaged capitalists.

"The number of low-quality or fraudulent publications is rising to hundreds of thousands per year, which—if unchecked—will damage the scientific and economic progress of our societies. The result is editor and reviewer fatigue, irreproducible experiments, misguided experiments, disinformation and escalating costs that devour funding from taxpayers intended for research. It is high time to reevaluate current publishing models and outline a global plan to stop this unhealthy development. A conference was therefore organized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to draft an action plan with specific recommendations, as follows. (i) Academia should resume control of publishing using non-profit publishing models (e.g. diamond open-access). (ii) Adjust incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity, in a reputation economy where the gaming of publication numbers and citation metrics distorts the perception of academic excellence. (iii) Implement mechanisms to prevent and detect fake publications and fraud which are independent of publishers. (iv) Draft and implement legislations, regulations and policies to increase publishing quality and integrity. This is a call to action for universities, academies, science organizations and funders to unite and join this effort."
