#nu.nl brengt een artikel over #vapes en #esigaretten met betrekking tot een onderzoek aangaande de #carcinogeniteit ervan. Ik heb diverse malen geprobeerd in de lezers response om de kritieken op dit onderzoek aan te geven, maar door de NU.nl #censuur komen deze berichten niet door voor het publiek. Dus doen we het maar hier: Dit is het artikel van nu.nl
Het NU.nl artikel
Mijn inbreng was de #commentaren op het aangehaalde onderzoek in dit artikel door nu.nl, van Science Media Centre, namelijk
#debunked via Science Media Centre
Het beeld over de #juistheid van het aangehaalde onderzoek komt dan toch echt op een ander podium te staan. Nu.nl heeft meer met sensatie dan met feiten, blijkbaar..

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

CW: Pseudoscience vs science 3/?
I've seen further classifications being created in attempts to address these and other related issues: #JunkScience and #BadScience.
But they appear to me to just be post hoc additions that cover up the underlieing issues by adding complexity while failing to address the inherent unreliability of many areas of scientific study.

Exposing the #AmericanCollegeOfPediatricians (ACPeds) which is an antiLGBTQIAplus #hategroup that masquerades as the premier U.S. association of pediatricians to push anti-queer #JunkScience, and who are propped up by rich #Christofascists and other #farright schmucks

CW: Junk Science Leading to Criminal Convictions
@LoriLevin thx for sharing this very insightful article from #ProPublica about #LieDetection #JunkScience used to convict #911Callers. I hope the revelations from this article will spark overturning those wrongful convictions and allow those affected to have a fair retrial.

The truth about 'medbeds' - a miracle cure that doesn't exist - BBC News
https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-64070190The top of the company's website clearly states: "We cannot diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition."
And yet their promotional material states: "Many people note improvements in their wellbeing even after only an hour of resting on a Tesla MedBed." They also make a number of specific, unsupported claims about particular diseases.
