  1. "For example, I was sitting at my side of the desk working, and he asked me to tell him about my problem. A few minutes later, I was forced to interrupt my work to go grocery shopping, because the household chores fell to me. As soon as I returned with bread and milk, Sasha excitedly told me the solution to my problem. It made me feel stupid, as if I should have solved it while I was waiting in the line for bread and milk. That feeling blocked out all the other feelings I should have been noticing, such as frustration and annoyance with Sasha.

    Without his interference, I would have happily solved the problem myself. I was about to start my serious research, but I worried that I’d end up as a supplier of new problems for his papers.

    You might wonder why I didn’t stop sharing my math with Sasha. But at that time, I wasn’t very in touch with my feelings and I prided myself on being a logical person. The idea that a husband and wife would discuss their work together seemed logical. Besides, even though I wasn’t particularly interested, Sasha was always ready to tell me about his math problems. It seemed important for me to be fair and to reciprocate. So I was stuck in a situation I didn’t know how to resolve."

  6. CW: AI, LLM, Anthropic Copyright Infringement

    Apparently #Anthropic has been ordered to pay ca. $1.5 billion for #copyright #infringement on about 500K #books they used to train #Claude along with the order to destroy any #unauthorized copies & #pirated files they possess:

    infotoday.eu/Articles/Editoria

    Considering the amount of money they stand to make from Claude's continued existence, this seems like little more than a slap on the wrist to me. Also, I find it hard to believe how it will be possible to enforce the order to destroy the illicit files.

  8. Laws Every Scout Should Know

    Being a Scout means more than camping, hiking, and earning merit badges. Scouts are also expected to be good citizens who understand the rules and laws that help keep our communities safe and fair. While Scouts are not expected to be lawyers, learning about important laws can help them become informed and responsible leaders. 1. The Scout Law and the Law of the Land The Scout Law teaches Scouts to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, […]

  9. ❗Update on Plagiarism and Falsification in Scientific Publications

    Today, I officially submitted requests for the retraction of articles to the editorial boards of the journals "Land Reclamation and Water Management" and "Bulletin of NUWM".

    ❗Key facts of misconduct:
    🔹 Plagiarism: Unauthorized use of my original relief map (2015) without citation.
    🔹 Falsification: Intentional removal (retouching) of the author’s stamp with coordinates and date-time on site photographs.
    🔹 Duplication: Publication of identical material in 2021 and 2024.

    Next steps:
    In the event of attempts to covertly remove the articles without an official retraction notice, relevant complaints will be forwarded directly to @crossref and the international members of the editorial boards.

  10. ❗ While preparing a literature review for my monograph on the hydrogeochemical impact of mine waters, I discovered the unauthorized use of my original materials in articles published in 2021 and 2024. Both publications were prepared with the primary involvement of staff from the Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Ukraine (IWPLR NAASU).

    An analysis revealed facts that go beyond a simple copyright violation:
    🔹 Data Falsification: Original photo metadata (date, time, GPS) was intentionally retouched to conceal their 2015 origin and authorship.
    🔹 Methodological Anachronism: Using 2015 data for 2024 modeling renders results invalid by ignoring the major infrastructure overhaul launched in early 2025.
    🔹 Institutional Failure: This misconduct by state academy staff signals a systemic collapse of research quality control and ethical oversight within the institutions.

  11. A quotation from Franklin

    Why then should I give my Readers bad Lines of my own, when good Ones of other People’s are so plenty? ‘Tis methinks a poor Excuse for the bad Entertainment of Guests, that the Food we set before them, tho’ coarse and ordinary, is of one’s own Raising, off one’s own Plantation, &c. when there is Plenty of what is ten times better, to be had in the Market. — On the contrary, I assure ye, my Friends, that I have procur’d the best I could for ye, and much Good may’t do ye.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard (1747 ed.)

  12. Jack Baker was falsely accused of #plagiarism (by his plagiarist!) and now recommends #GreenOA, especially for #preprints, to establish your priority.

    (#paywalled)

    I've been making this point for years and welcome this chance to reiterate. Green OA doesn't invite scooping and plagiarism. It deters them.

    On scooping, see my 2012 book at p. 43: "Green OA for preprints [provides] the earliest possible time-stamp to establish the author’s priority." On plagiarism, see p. 24: "Not all plagiarists are smart, but the smart ones will not steal from OA sources indexed in every search engine."

  13. If you hated the #Plagiarism by #JamesSomerton, but are still distracted by Eye Candy, badly written & acted cheap Theatrics, and awful citations & references by other #BreadTubers, you haven’t learned anything from this.

  14. If you're wondering what James Somerton did in response to HBomberGuy's video exposé: he deleted his videos on YouTube or set their visibility to private, put his Patreon on hold, then disappeared for a few days.

    Then, a couple of days ago, James Somerton reappeared to make an apology video.
    Sorta.
    He said the word "sorry", and looked sad at losing his credibility and main source of income. I believe he was genuinely upset about that. This disaster has been bad for his personal and professional relationships, and is causing a financial problem. It's clear to see it's been extraordinarily bad for his mental health, and it's easy to feel sympathy for him on that count.

    But, James Somerton failed to address the plagiarism. He hardly said the word at all. Instead, he attributed the public outcry to poor referencing/citation style. And, he said he's restarting his Patreon and will make more videos.

    The public reaction to such an awful apology was about as negative as you'd expect. A few hours later, James Somerton deleted his apology video.

    I think James Somerton isn't sorry for his plagiarism. I think he doesn't believe it's a problem. I think he doesn't truly understand what plagiarism is.

  15. Hbomberguy Didn’t Want to Make That 4-Hour Plagiarism Video

    This interview by Rebecca Alter with Hbomberguy covers a range of topics raised in his video, and draws-out some thought-provoking insights.

  16. I think james somerton is the kind of guy to "Author Unknown" a quote that has a very much known author, whether or not that author is famous is another story (they probably wouldn't be since it's easier to steal from lesser-known people and try to get away with it).

  17. CW: More queer creators and (separately) more plagiarism

    Following on from Hbomberguy's epic vid the other day, here's a Reddit thread where people are crowdsourcing

    - more queer YouTubers to watch

    - more bits of plagiarism they've identified!

  18. HBomberGuy has released a video of additional material that didn't make it into the main video for time reasons because it was already running over four hours. It adds more info about plagiarism by illuminaughtii. This deserves some time in the spotlight because discussion of her plagiarism has been overshadowed by discussion of her also-awful emotional and financial abuse of ex-employees, ex-collaborators and ex-boyfriends.

  19. My audience is probably too old to be the main target demographic of #JamesSomerton's videos but it's still worth checking out #hbomberguy's video detailing his shameless plagiarism:

    and also @ToddInTheShadows' video on made-up bullshit in his essays:

  20. Last night, I watched the new HBomberGuy video; it's a brilliant extrusion!
    youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHX

    If you've been getting déjà vu from some prolific YouTube creators, particularly big video-essay channels such as Iilluminaughtii and James Somerton, chances are their secret trick is plagiarism.
    Often, I've wondered if they're on a personal mission to produce a weekly series of unauthorised audiobooks of Wikipedia articles. Or they're a content-mill powered by uncredited contributors, and ripping-off the research of journalists. Worse, they're getting paid a load of money by sidelining up-and-coming talent, or silencing the voices of people in a marginalised community or deceased activists and artists.
