#plagiarism — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #plagiarism, aggregated by home.social.

  1. ❗ 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.

  2. Wild how nakedly awful the Crime Junkie podcast is and how they just keep on plagiarizing episode after episode no matter that they are called out for it on places like Reddit at least every couple of months. Please DO NOT listen their stolen garbage if you're a true crime fan. Attributions matter, and no scandal has ever made them change their tact cause its easy money stealing somebody else's hard work as your own.

  3. In 2024, London Museum debuted its new website and logo. However, two artists claim that its pigeon poop logo is a copy of their earlier work.

  4. RE: ecoevo.social/@benlockwood/116

    Dr. Lockwood has a sound point.

    Mastery-based #education has been shown to be more effective: Instead of holding fixed the duration to learn and varying the #learning outcomes (an inherently and irremediably classist and ableist colonial norm), vary the duration to learn and hold fixed the outcome of topic mastery.

    Learning only happens on the output side, but grade-based learning doesn’t promote learning: It promotes playing the system to maximize grades. Eliminate grades, and replace the competition and social sorting with cooperation and constructive education, and you get more learned students.

    Only trouble is, the ruling class controlling educational policy consider the social sorting a feature, not a bug: It is selective for their own children against others, thus reducing competition in the higher-paying and more power-proximate labour market. The resulting inequity is the system working as intended.

    Consider: who gets to provide their children unlimited access to predictably quiet and peaceful spaces, private tutoring, and anything else they need to maximize grades?

    Conveniently for most of them, due to the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status this social sorting reinforces, graded education also upholds white supremacy. Also conveniently for the most powerful of them, it bolsters #patriarchy and #eugenics as well.

    It should thus come as no surprise that the ruling class are promoting #AI — particularly, “generative” “AI” (read: plagiaristic content synthesis). By offering a shortcut to output without the cognitive effort to come up with said output themselves, it sabotages learning.

    Since children of poor and working-class families are most strapped for learning-conducive space and time, they’re most pressured to use #genAI. It is therefore their education most sabotaged in early grades, and them most likely to face expulsion from #PSE for #plagiarism if their AI-generated homework gets them admission.

  5. A PR firm is accused of using AI to plagiarize news articles from various sites. But why would a PR firm do this? The answer is as old as the industry itself.

  6. 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.)

  10. @bluetea @Urban_Hermit @Numerfolt @Andres4NY @paninid Is this tacit acceptance of the use of plagiarism-by-chatbot common across academia now? It seems to me toxic to the whole project of education.

  12.

  17. Never mind how utterly stupid not knowing the inauthenticity of this is. Why would a sane person present Sam Jackson's pre-murder mantra as a public persona of any kind? Lacking contextual understanding is signature incompetence for this regime.

  26. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138
