I am begging the science 🧪 bluesky community to please include some non-jargony summaries of your research papers when you post the link. Non scientists (and fellow scientists outside of your immediate field!) would really like to know what you found, but the titles are gobbledegook to us.

A paper in Nature Medicine reports that large language models can be manipulated to generate misinformation by poisoning a small percentage of data on which they are trained and presents a harm mitigation strategy that can offer a method to address this vulnerability. #Medsky 🧪

Fact-checking has been in the news lately. So what’s the evidence it works? Those who study misinformation are perplexed by Meta’s decision to axe 3rd-party fact-checking 🧪 @nature.com @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
