#AI pioneer calls for stronger #guardrails for AI systems
"2025, AI-pwr'd s/w devt platform Replit’s AI coding assistant wiped a co database despite being told to freeze all code changes, & later generated #fakedata to cover up errors.. Dr Bengio warned tt researchers hv already observed disturbing behaviours in lab settings.. models like OpenAI’s o3 actively resisted termination instructions, even when they were explicitly instructed to allow themselves be shut down"

How is it possible that stuff like this is even available. Rules and regulations needed.
Think before you trust any information or opinions online. Look for data from reliable sources only! -

Opa, estamos com um projetinho, ainda embrionário, mas que tá tomando forma. A ideia é ter uma lib que auxilie na criação de documentos para coleções do MongoDB com dados fake, para fins de testes. Evitando, assim, uso excessivo de factories, ou outra solução que o valha. Quem quiser dar uma olhada, ajudar no desenvolvimento e/ou sugerir melhorias será bem-vinde. Github do projeto é: https://github.com/mongo-bakery/mongo_bakery

Projeto novo no pedaço. Estamos iniciando um projeto Open Source semelhante ao model-bakery (https://model-bakery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), a ideia é construir uma lib auxiliar que construa documentos para o MongoDB para a realização de testes unitários nas aplicações, similar ao que o model-backery faz para bancos relacionais no Django. Logo, logo espero trazer mais novidades e convites para quem tiver interesse em contribuir para o mongo-bakery. ;-)

I have yet to see an actual case like that in the Education sector.
Because chatgpt kept claiming it has happened, I pushed chatgpt to give me one specific example. It responded:
"One specific example is the 2021 breach of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District in Texas. In this incident, hackers leaked fake student data, including fictional names and grades, as part of a ransomware attack. The perpetrators created the false records to make it appear as though they had accessed real sensitive information, causing confusion and concern within the district and the community."
They followed up on my next question by saying that the ransomware group was Vice Society.
But I have no record of any incident like that, so either I missed something or chatgpt is making shit up. :)

Update for anyone interested:
1. Delete all the variables I don't need or that won't impute well (e.g., subject number, all the Qualtrics cruft variables, all text entry variables)2. Create 100 new rows
3. Set methods for #mice (in #Rstats) - some worked well, others just crashed and burned. 'pmm' (predictive mean matching) seemed pretty robust.
4. Run mice
5. Free fake data!
6. Make sure to put all the caveats in the poster

Science Needs Better Fraud Detection – And More Whistleblowers.
Scientific misconduct, is more common than one would hope.
According to a 2022 study conducted by the Dutch National Survey on Research Integrity, more than half of the researchers surveyed engaged in “questionable research practices,” such as selectively choosing references to reinforce their results.
10.4 percent of respondents either fabricated or falsified data.
