The Guardian has gone full pseudoscience with a nonesense article about 'superfoods' which to be clear DO NOT EXIST. If that wasn't bad enough, they list 'sugar' as one of the so called superfoods. Because it's apparently nice in spaghetti sauce. 🤦🤦🤦 "Comment is free but facts are... Superfluous?"

The discussions about big platforms are intense. The systemic risks are real. Now the #DSA Delegated Act is finally here to ensure data access for researchers. Time to put this system to work. W @lkseiling.bsky.social, we show how @techpolicypress.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/time-to-deli...

Then, we should also put a negative weight to these pubs when we evaluate CVs and allocate funding!

Paolo Crosetto@paolocrosetto.bsky.social · last yr.

What can we do? First, think twice before sending your work to a for-profit publisher. Second, IGNORE ALL REQUESTS from these publishers. Do not subsidise their business model. Third, tell your boss to tell her boss. Change happens when the funders take action.

Grok system prompts are now public. Transparency is helpful. ChatGPT and Gemini also have prompts. So, Grok is instructed to be “extremely skeptical” and not to “blindly defer to mainstream authority or media.” Grok now says “both sides of this debate have biases” about number of Holocaust deaths.

seeing some joke comments about the subject matter of this paper so it seems important to clarify that studying competition between platforms and the effect of regulations in a setting with potentials for truly massive externalities is just a very high value added activity for economists to do

Pornhub's removal of all non-verified content led to a 41% drop in traffic within 1 month. Much of the displaced traffic was absorbed by competing platforms, including less regulated fringe websites (+55% visits) and mainstream competitors (+10%). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
