Is there a polymarket for predicting status changes (expression of concern, erratum, correction, retraction)? At the least there will be PubPeer posts #QRPVibes

Increasingly convinced people like to use AI to review their papers and grant applications to avoid getting offended by comments left by an actual person

Screenshot of BBC News headline “Al Quds Day march to be banned after government approves Met request”. Image is of police in what looks like Westminster moving on a man with shades on wearing a keffiyeh as a balaclava to cover rest of his face.

Keir Starmer would've banned this sooner, but he thought this was a pro AI rally when he first glanced at his briefing documents.

Screenshot of text from an old scientific paper reading: “Mr H. G.

There's a joke going round software engineering circles that, soon, with AI, all that will be needed is for people to accurately describe precisely what they want in a piece of software. So: software engineering jobs are safe.

It's amusing, but the state of AI coding is both alarming AND overhyped.
