How is this being sold as the mark of backwards, rabid anti-technology prejudice and not, I dunno, people who can write and think and “generate” all by themselves?

Today, I gave a lecture in my uni about the dark side of science: predatory journals, paper mills, misconduct, misuse of GenAI, RetractionWatch, PubPeer and much more.
I was so happy to see the students awestruck!
The more people are aware of them, the sooner we can strengthen trust in Science.

Congrats to @IHU_Marseille for another two retractions.
We initially reported 456 studies (researchintegrityjou...). The number is now growing (600+) and 46 studies have been retracted, 38th for Prof. Didier Raoult who is now in the top 20 of @RetractionWatch leaderboard.

Excellent critique of a flawed and misleading paper.
@ukhadds.bsky.social, you should write to the journal and ask for a retraction.

This study made some waves on social media yesterday. It purports to show that CO2 concentration doesn’t correlate with covid transmission.

Whether the work was affiliated with the university cannot depend on it being retracted. Affiliation determines what research integrity committee has oversight; this should be no-takesy-backsies when things go south.

that's now been done by RetractionWatch. My theory is that too many people are too invested in this man who came from substantial disadvantage succeeding, because it says a lot about themselves and their judgment if his achievements aren't real.

We think automated tools (which in metacheck are seldom genAI based), can help by collecting information that is either tedious to check (e.g., cross-referencing retractionwatch and pubpeer), or one might not know to check (e.g., completeness of power analysis reporting).
