  • And how science bullshit websites gobble their bullshit up. Look at the technology communities here on Lemmy. There is not one week without some spurious claim by Chinese scientists who apparently revolutionize batteries two times a month at least, each revolution more hilariously beyond everything physically possible than the previous one.

    Yet, most ppl talk about how awesome this tech will be when it’s finally in use, blabber about the genius behind the discovery and go into borderline conspiracy mode, suspecting “big oil” or whomever to stop this one like they supposedly stopped all the others. Physics is what “stopped the others”, you gullible tech-freak! Reality stopped the one before that! Big oil or pharma or whoever are by no means without guilt when it comes.to stoping innovation, but those things are just made up. It’s usually not even very thought through. It’s just obvious bullshit.


  • Well, I think this points more towards the rise of LLM driven spell checkers like Grammarly than to the rise of fraud with LLMs, apart from the blatantly obvious examples that are more telling about the culture in countries like China. If they are so lazy that they just spam out u edited ChatGPT output, how many of their “findings” were just made up over the years before that? This is like stealing. Most people don’t start stealing jewelry, they start by shoplifting and become more brazen and blatant by getting away with it. So: what did those.“scientists” start out and get away with? How many studies are just lies over fabrications made up by propaganda bureaus and we didn’t even notice? How many patients got treatments stemming from those fabrications? How many studies went nowhere because they based on something that was just made up? How many things go wrong because someone wanted to make China look cool and just made up “science”?"
