Snowglobe of Doom posted:Given how much this thread relies on peer-reviewed papers for driving discussion I thought this would also be pertinent here: someone noticed that a whole lot of scientific papers published in Elsevier academic journals were at least partially written by ChatGPT and the editorial and peer review stages obviously didn't pick it up What gets me is that having a chatbot look at a paper and generate an abstract is actually one of the better use cases for AI, given that you actually bother to look at it afterwards and not just copy-paste the whole output without looking at it. How many pairs of eyes had read through these without catching it, like half a dozen?

It's a huge indictment on the entire peer review process, which already had a whole bunch of issues which I'm sure most people ITT are well aware of. The fact that some of them also used ChatGPT to generate a list of citations and sources should also raise some eyebrows, if those court cases where lawyers asked ChatGPT to provide a list of precedent cases are any indication then it's a coin toss whether they're genuine citations or whether ChatGPT simply invented them

Presumably on the backend where they have all the copyrighted data indexed, they could verify that an article or quotation exists. They should pay me figgies for these ideas.

this should be zero doses because the program was heavily oversubscribed, right? I mean the people screaming that taking paxlovid was pulling the medicine from someone in a hospital bed couldn't have been wrong?

I was wondering about the gaps between the filters though, the guy answered a similar question in the tweet below, but I don't get why the foam makes the filters airtight. https://x.com/Engineer_Wong/status/1768298352721158428?s=20

So that bullshit "long covid doesn't exist" story that the New York Post (and dozens of other media outlets) breathlessly reported on isn't even based on a pre-print, let alone a peer-reviewed study. Cool, cool. Guess we'll just keep wondering why people are dropping out of the workforce and being sick for years (if not indefinitely) for the rest of all time. This loving stupid hellscape of a planet, I swear...

This is sufficiently manly that the testosterone poisoned will begrudgingly allow it. (it also protects their ego by making it ok for them to continue not to mask because they don’t live with anyone immunocompromised). yup. a few folks have said parts of this to my face, its a strange disconnect

"We protected ourselves from disease and didn't catch disease! Then we stopped protecting ourselves from disease and started getting disease! This MUST mean we shouldn't protect ourselves from disease!" It's because mocking these positions five years ago was a zero-cost behavior. You got to be pro-science, but you weren't really taking any sides (besides The Correct One) and your position didn't suggest that you, personally, needed to do anything. But mocking immunity debt now means that you are definitely on the side of those COVID weirdos and maybe even implies that you should be personally taking actions such as wearing a mask. It's now a super high-cost position with real social and maybe professional consequences. Also the whole thing is an extremely good example of typical liberal politics where you hold the correct position only when doing so has absolutely no impact on your life.

2024 so far really feels like a real push to finally close the door on all of this -free tests disappearing -pax getting put on the high shelf -glad you had fun wfh but playtime is over -case/hospitalisation reporting shutting down altogether, after two years of winding back -further pathologizing masking/any precautions -long covid = anxious malingerers -fullcourt press on the "it's so incredibly over" messaging

Update from one of my buddies with long covid:quote:Yesterday was Long Covid Awareness Day. Since one of the things I'm too tired to do rn is write coherently or succinctly about all the ins and outs of my own long covid, I'm going to mark the day (*cough* after) by paraphrasing this message I sent a friend yesterday trying to explain what the last week has been like:  They've had LC for several years now. After the first 12 months they suddenly saw a big improvement but then they caught covid again which undid all their progress and put them all the way back to square 1
