A message for our European friends: "People & organizers in Europe have real leverage in slowing down #Palantir —maybe even more than we have in the US—because their success depends on their ability to grow across European govts. Slowing down and stopping that is a huge success." #purgepalantir

To me this seems like a truism that a lot of people choose to ignore because they want/must/think they have to take a short cut. But more and more people start to realize that science is hard, often messy and ... TAKES TIME. Gives me hope. The whole thread and blog post are 🎯

The only form of software distribution that is really OK for science is source code with build instructions, for all parts of the software stack that are not stable over years to decades.

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.

Pro tip: Firefox now includes a built-in VPN with location selection. You can mask your IP address and reduce tracking at the network level, not just on sites.

Yeah, citations, but also other generated content such as text, figures ... This isn't going away and the bans are just desperate attempts to contain useless "writing" that nobody will read anyway. Academic communication needs to change profoundly. Btw: Not new, it's just publish or perish on speed.

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖
