"An LLM that occasionally hallucinates a citation is competing against a system that routinely produces junk science dressed in enough jargon to pass review. If we applied the same skepticism to human-produced research that we apply to AI outputs, we’d shut down half the journals tomorrow."

Il y a donc un prof de Nanterre visé au pénal par des accusations de viol, agression sexuelle et harcèlement sexuel, condamné en disciplinaire à 18 mois de suspension à mi-traitement, mais il dirige un numéro de revue sociologique ?

I have a new paper. We look at ~all stats articles in political science post-2010 & show that 94% have abstracts that claim to reject a null. Only 2% present only null results. This is hard to explain unless the research process has a filter that only lets rejections through.

Some people confuse correlation and causation, some people confuse causation and “deterministic direct 1:1 causation” 🥲

Reminder that the top 10% of the global population income wise includes a large part of the Western middle class. I know we like to talk about eating the rich but this is about us

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%. And the gap is growing. Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

This is a great paper by @abelaussant.bsky.social measuring the effect of cultural vouchers. These programs are predicated on the idea of economic barriers to (highbrow) cultural consumption, but they actually reinforce preexisting tastes for commercially successful products.

The takeaway is important for understanding social inequality in cultural consumption: The financial barriers are not very relevant for highbrow culture, but they do appear to contribute to non-participation in popular cultural life among certain youth demographics.

However, I found no significant effect on participation in institutional highbrow activities, such as theater, opera attendance or museum visit. This suggests that addressing price only does not boost highbrow culture participation.

My econometric analysis, based on a large-scale survey, reveals a key insight about this policy: Culture voucher significantly increases engagement with commercial popular culture, primarily boosting things like cinema attendance and comic book reading.
