Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?

#ImageForensics #ThisImageIsFine #ResearchIntegrity Spot the overlapping panels! Three time points, four treatments, but are all 12 panels from different animals? You tell me!

"Imagine if the Russians supported a group committed directly and explicitly to breaking up the EU and then encouraging separatism within countries. I'm not sure we'd be particularly relaxed about that". As it happens, Prez has observed the EU to be particularly relaxed about exactly that. 😂😂😂😂😂

Trump sues the BBC is the stupidest story ever Of course, cover it but please, please point out - early - how stupid it is. And don’t put it at the top of the news. Because it’s really, really stupid.

Who needs the gym? Just do research in AI! 🎽💪🤓

TLDR: The REF remains an awful exercise which holds back research, stresses researchers, and provides incentives for university administrators to interfere with and damage research.

10.5% of all articles I have notified journals about have been addressed to date. Most articles remain untouched, even after waiting for more than a year. I have send concerns on 2500+ articles in total.

Asians account for ~7% of CSA in the UK. So that leaves the other 93%. Now… I’d rather not make it a race thing and instead make it a sexual abuse thing. blogs.lse.ac.uk/religionglob...

Yeah...fuck that!

This means, what, one in six 2016 Leave voters are now dead? Don't mean to be brutal but that's what the figures seem to say

Didn't the gammons promise us that after brexit the issue of immigration would go away from day one?

Thank you to everyone who credited the original UK outrage calendar. As ever, the calendar is kept under review. For example, both September's events are in jeopardy after a poor showing for the past couple of years, while confected Proms rage also seems to have subsided for now.

Artificial intelligence research has a slop problem, academics say: ‘It’s a mess’ AI research in question as author claims to have written over 100 papers on AI that one expert calls a ‘disaster’ @aishadown.bsky.social for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Recovered memory theory is back! Now with psychedelics. "Therapeutic emergence of dissociated traumatic memories during psilocybin treatment for anorexia" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40420197/ n=2, no controls...

I'd add that the BBC fails to note the most important factual point -which is that the vast majority of these kids are here because their parents moved here entirely legally, mostly or work.

OTD in 1975 Hannah Arendt died. "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction and the distinction between true & false no longer exist".

Today's migration stats illustrate the migration doom loop in action... (from my presentation at the IMF last week)

Spotted this sticker here in Glasgow, @teslatakedown.com .

Talking about terrible papers I just found this beauty on IEEE explore (but there are many more) attempting to draw a data flow diagram. Note that the summation node has only inputs. No outputs! And of course drawn in something like MS Paint. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/101...

Oh God. How did this get through the editorial process?! *Checks journal name* Ah, yeah, OK.

I will never tire of these wonderful comics about Ada Lovelace (and Charles Babbage] from Sydney Padua sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/co...

Those who are still being able to produce genuine content will be either treated as a curiosity or they will be even more setting new trends. Either way the rest will just regurgitate and fake it with AI for various reasons.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

...by using chatGPT. Hilarious.

There is a matching article about MAGA which amongst others also explains it to its strong links to family (other factors are for example zero sum game, winners / loser, strongmen). press.uchicago.edu/books/excerp...

Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use? In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this. doi.org/10.1111/psyp... 1/

Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think. New piece from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Indeed! Let me add that Brexit has led to levelling up by levelling down and this has -- if anything -- benefitted right-wing populists. brexitcost.org/brexitcost.pdf

"... a Director General with no substantive journalistic record and a Board with negligible experience of what it is to be a journalist in the 21st century."

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social, that's Kinning Park in Glasgow.

Congratulations to the excellent team @leigh-day.bsky.social and their courageous client for pursuing and winning a case that we were delighted to fund @lawforchange.uk

This morning while cycling through single file traffic suddenly an SUV was speeding head on through the red light: massive poppy at the front and after not managing to flatten me the gammon showed me the middle finger. I guess he was late for the flute practise at the orange order down the road.
