Hallucinated citations are polluting the scientific literature. What can be done? Tens of thousands of publications from 2025 might include invalid references generated by AI, a Nature analysis suggests.
That's tens of thousands of authors whose submissions can be desk-rejected from here on out, leaving some more room for the rest of us.

There are two versions of Microsoft Outlook on Artemis II. Last night, neither of them worked, and Houston had to remote in to address the problem.

Does it work properly? No.
Are the people making it acting in good faith? No.
Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No.
Does it make people's lives better? No.
Will it make people's lives better? No.
Is it profitable? No.
Is it popular? No.
Is it harmless? No.
The argument for AI.
It looks fantastic, unfortunately paywalled...
#CNRSnews 📰 On the eve of National Cheese Day in France, many raw milk cheeses including Roquefort and Camembert could disappear, due to standardised production procedures and the reduction of the micro-organisms involved in their fermentation 🧀
Technically it is not #diamondOA as not everyone can publish on the platform. Still, going from a very classical funder platform to to this is a huge step. You could say the only thing they kept is the name ORE. #openscience
💥New post | Predatory university rankings jeopardise the value of Webometrics

A mockup of an infographic poster that's supposed to show statistics and strategies in relation to chess openings. On close inspection, it's obviously AI nonsense. Squares are wrongly labelled. Arrows point in meaningless directions, and run contrary to how pieces actually move.
If you know anything about chess, this poster on Etsy is as funny as those fraudulent rat balls.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll
She was born on March 20th, 1915
Oh yes "circulaire" is the lowest administrative level for an instruction, with no (theoretical/legal) obligations and obviously that was only the last of a long series. Still, it was contested up to Conseil d'Etat etat-civil.collectivites.legibase.fr/actualites/v...
I do understand why educators don't believe AI will have much impact on the world. I bet against gamification, education 2.0, MOOCs, education "on the block chain", this facebook crap. I never lost one of those bets. It does seem at a distance this is just another cycle of vaporware and hype.
You're welcome. Expect more practical illegalities through your life in Frence, though this one is certainly the most commonly enforced (especially through technical systems). It took decades to remove "Ms" from official administrative forms www.legifrance.gouv.fr/circulaire/i...

"aucun citoyen ne pourra porter de nom ni de prénom autres que ceux exprimés dans son acte de naissance". Changing them shall only be performed through an administrative act.
Typical French admin, totally illegal of course (that has never been the question with French admin). In French law, you have only one "nom de famille" (formerly nom patronymique), the rest is "nom d'usage" completely optional. It has been like this since the French Revolution.
Nice work by the ICML chairs ... love it. Signal boosting this to help make it known.
I hope that the effect will be that reviewers will less "delegate" (sigh) reviewing to LLMs instead of spending more effort on finding watermarks.
Actually this is not an arms race, rather sewers flooding of data, code, texts, references.
A Study on Customer Support Team Configuration and Service Quality in Financial Services Enterprises A Study on Dispatcher Scheduling and Service On-Time Rate in Urban Public Transportation Systems A Study on the Impact of Member Mobility on Research Output in University Research Teams Authors Matthew R. Collins1, Daniel T. Harris2, James A. Wilson3* Affiliations Melbourne School of Engineering, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia Corresponding author: james.wilson@unimelb-placeholder.edu Abstract Customer support teams play a crucial role in ensuring service quality in financial services enterprises, and the rationality of their staffing directly affects customer experience. This study analyzes the relationship between staff size and service quality indicators, focusing on the configuration characteristics of customer support teams. Based on 18 consecutive months of operational data from the customer support center of a financial services enterprise, the sample includes 96 service teams, 2,430 customer service personnel, and over 3.2 million customer service records. Service quality is measured by average response time, first-time resolution rate, and customer satisfaction score.

Someone went to the trouble of creating 5 fake OSF accounts today, linking to 5 fake ORCID accounts, and generating 5 fake papers to submit to SocArXiv, with fake author and emails. Dude, if you are reading this, I hope you get the help you need (or a better job).
Fargo, season 6, perfect scenario.
All those AI companies destroying our scholarly infrastructures will definitely be queuing up to support arXiv now it's becoming an independent organisation and seeking financial sustainability, yeah?
