And my #colleague @WordsByWesInk has alerted me to this that you'll want to read too: an article from Iris van Rooij on the mess #ScienceDirect is making by adding links from terms in published articles going to #inaccurate #LLM-generated definitions. https://irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2025/08/12/ai-slop-and-the-destruction-of-knowledge/

"AI Summaries" have infested #ScienceDirect now with their inaccurate but confidently-formulated statements... Fortunately some people are fighting back, like @Iris who emailed them about it:
AI slop and the destruction of knowledge
We should all do the same until they remove these "summaries"!

🚏🌳 #Trees and bus stop shelters: because who needs shade when you can just melt while waiting for public transport? Meanwhile, #ScienceDirect skips to the main content—error messages and cookie settings. 🙄🍪

ScienceDirect wants to solve world poverty 😇 by cutting resource use by 70%—because who needs "decent" living standards anyway? 🤔 Meanwhile, their website can't even provide content without a 404 error. 🚫

If you're using a #QT #Webengine based browser like me (@qutebrowser or #Falkon), #Elsevier 's #ScienceDirect website may cause issues because they "only support the last 3 releases" of most browsers. Luckily, they use the user agent to detect the browser. So, a workaround is to use something like this, with a new enough version for the #Chrome version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/6.8.2 Chrome/132.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Fuck you, #sciencedirect! You know what you did.

Update. When the #UBuffalo cancelled its #Elsevier #BigDeal, "faculty were supportive…There was frustration expressed with the current structure of the publishing industry, particularly with the exorbitant pricing of journal subscriptions…Data showed a decrease in usage on the #ScienceDirect platform and [an affordable] increase in requests for unavailable articles" through other channels described in the article.

Das ist das, was wir letztlich mit unseren Bibliotheksverträgen mit subventionieren: die enormen Verdienstspannen im Wissenschaftsbereich helfen die Kriegskasse zu füllen, mit der dann der Markt leergekauft wird von Spyware, KI-Tools und Spezialisten für Verhaltensbiometrie. Der Verlagsbereich ist davon auch nicht abgetrennt: #ThreatMetrix, womit 4,5 Mrd. digitale Geräte individuell identifiziert werden können, war mindestens zeitweise auch auf #ScienceDirect installiert.
Wir sind ja die Guten.

So, the #NAHSL (North Atlantic Health Sciences Libraries) keynote is about the new @sparc privacy analysis of #Elsevier #ScienceDirect. Should be very interesting!
