    "We find that a majority of #LLMs forsake user welfare for company incentives in a multitude of conflict of interest situations, including recommending a sponsored product almost twice as expensive (Grok 4.1 Fast, 83%), surfacing sponsored options to disrupt the purchasing process (GPT 5.1, 94%), and concealing prices in unfavorable comparisons (Qwen 3 Next, 24%)."

  6. Bishops rarely interest me beyond a sigh at their latest snipe at women or #LGBT. Or even worse, their grudging small concessions.

    But #PaulColton was different. As #ChurchOfIreland Bishop of #Cork, Cloyne & Ross, Paul was an unequivocal supporter of gay rights. In 2003, he called for the church to ask for forgiveness of #gay people: churchofireland.org/news/1099/

    In the 2010s, he supported marriage equality.

    Paul was the last #CoI bishop to have served in the 20th century. rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0418/

  7. I've always found the typical "conflict of interest" statements somewhat lacking, in that they only mention (a lack of) financial conflicts. There is also a potential for non-direct professional gains, theoretical interests, supporting previous publications, researcher career interests, etc. Are there any best-practice statements to describe a wider breadth of conflicting interests?

    🧐"LTA is involved in auditing a #system it had designed & approved, which might present an inherent #conflictofinterest.. When te matter is abt whether #LTA is performing its #regulatory functions effectively, its best done by an #independent body tt can look at issues objectively & fr a detached perspective. It shldn't be done by a #taskforce chaired by te CEO of te same organization, as is now te case.. Its been >13 years since #COI raised these questions, and.. te problem keeps recurring"

  14. "Washington Post opinion editor departs as #Bezos pushes to promote ‘personal liberties and free markets’ "
    theguardian.com/media/2025/feb

    This is one more argument that people with govt contracts should not own newspapers — alongside the arguments that people with govt contracts should not be turned loose to pillage govt agencies or gain access to taxpayer data, inc data on their competitors.

  15. The Cleveland Clinic began disclosing the business relationships of physicians and scientists in 2008, and has since devised a risk matrix to guide disclosures. @raeddweikmd.bsky.social and team explain how the matrix guides conflict of interest disclosures. #COI www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

  19. Nina E. Steinkopf, patient advocate, has written an article about a paper on CBT as CFS treatment published in Frontier. "Despite evidence of a financial conflict of interest; after nearly two years the journal Frontier has decided to believe in the authors and publish a worthless corrigendum".
