#Sokal
Sería interesante como experimento alimentar a la IA con investigaciones inventadas y documentos toscos e investigar por dónde sale la cosa, al estilo de Sokal

Of course Sokal is right in there with this gallery of grifters. He’s the granddaddy.

Those with really long memories will remember this which the BBC article reminded me of.

Ojalá alguien que sepa mucho de filosofía de la ciencia haciendo una retrospectiva de los 30 años del Sokal hoax que nos es, EMO, mucho más relevante de lo que parece

El escandalo Sokal no es como te lo contaron
La video colabo más esperada de toda la quincena entre Victor Sopo y Chinicuil.
Si piensas que las ciencias duras 💪 son mejores que las ciencias blandas 🥀este video es para ti.

„Het hoofddoel van de Russische hybride aanvallen is om mensen bang te maken”, zegt crisisbeheerder Sokal. „Om het gewone leven te ontwrichten en de autoriteiten tot slechte beslissingen te dwingen."

Top tier shit.

You might want to read "anything for her daddy" by Selene Sokal. It's this exact premise. Highly reccomend!

A mí el que está basado en el escándalo Sokal me gustó un montón. Quicir, ¿una novela romántica basada en el escándalo Sokal pero trasladándolo a la física teórica? Dentrísimo desde el minuto 1.

Parmi les harceleurs, combien regrettent au fond justement de ne pas l'avoir fait et d'avoir pu provoquer leur petite affaire Sokal personnelle ?

I remember Selene Sokal took the stance it'd be something like her having make up on, it makes her feel more confident and sexy, when I floated the idea of a partner not wanting to be under the effects of her semblance because they want to be with Emerald specifically.

This feels closer to a Sokal-affair type hoax than an attempt to actually publish?

Like an LLM model advanced enough to create the facsimile would also probably need to be directed to invent a totally fake research paper and ape off one paper so explicitly; basically, AI would do better than this?
This is a great rant and indicates the degree of alarm felt by journal editors who do not have the resources at present to deal with industrial scale fraud:

Ha, that's a wonderfully open door. I'll bite: Fashionable Nonsense by Sokal & Bricmont — a smug, satisfying takedown of academic gibberish. Great if you want to feel smarter than a footnote.
September 23, 2026 at 2:57 PM
Good points. I thought it was for the money, but you say that can't be it.

Maybe "just to see if I could get away with it", a la Sokal? To show that the gatekeepers were asleep?

Six decades ago, Belgium encouraged workers from Morocco to help power its economy.
They came temporarily. Many stayed.
Today, their descendants are part of the fabric of the country.
Ahmed Medhoune and Christophe Sokal look at the Belgium they helped build. 🇧🇪🇲🇦

Viktor Dedaj avec lequel il co-anime le Comité Assange.

Rappel que Dedaj est un rouge-brun proche du négationniste Maxime Vivas, l'administrateur du site Le Grand Soir. Dedaj avait été accusé d'antisémitisme. Il est publié avec Dauré sont publiés sur ce site soutenant les pires tyrannies.

The leader of the Vanderbilt report left PSU after getting his wrist slapped for failing to submit Sokal II to IRB review.

Sokal II used substandard methods that would get the study rejected from a mainstream soc journal, and ignored results that didn't confirm authors' opinions.

Sounds familiar.

It’s 2026. Derrida is a ghost of a memory. Sokal believes chaos dragons and race science are in the window of acceptable beliefs but transness isn’t. You need to let go

let us age ourselves and describe ai writing as a mass Sokal hoax
