Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Book launch for “Methods in the Philosophy of Science: a user’s guide”. Ftf in Exeter and online on the 29th of Sept feat Sophie Veigl, Kerry McKenzie, Hasok Chang, and me. It should be fun! (the book will be open access in July, contact me in the meantime) www.exeter.ac.uk/events/detai... #philsci

Absolutely wild to me that this guy gets a heroic feature in the NY Times when his clearly articulated climate policy throughout has been "let's not do a single thing to reach the previous government's climate targets but just keep them on the books anyway to point at in case anyone asks".

Welcome to our panel discussion on pseudoscience in working life. Among other things, we will talk about how the University of Helsinki last year ended up using questionable competency and personality tests in the the application process for salaried PhD positions.

Jan-Willem Romeijn’s closing address from a typical European podium #EPSA25 #philsci

Luonnonmetsän keittäminen selluksi on käänteistä arvonlisää järjettömässä mittakaavassa.

Valtava elonkirjon rikkaus muutetaan bulkiksi teollisuustuotteeksi.

Elinympäristöjen pirstoutumisen takia haitta on vielä suoraa vaikutusta suurempi.

Fans of "slow television" are in for a treat, as Swedish TV is live-streaming the effort to move an entire church in Kiruna from one place to another over the course of two days: www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9... Enjoy!

Because in Deep Research mode getting the result took 8 minutes.

No, I don't think it's a user error. ChatGPT is advertised in a very misleading way. But the Deep Research mode can actually be useful.

I asked for publication where David Ackerly wrote about plasticity in leaf traits. This is what ChatGPT in Deep Research mode suggested.

‪You should use Deep Research mode if you want to search literature with it. It'll give you links to the papers it finds. (Obviously the summaries can't be trusted, but the links are fine. It's pretty much like Scopus AI, Web of Science Research Assistant, and other similar tools.)

How many times did Israel deny doing this? And how many times did politicians, journalists and pundits online suggest that saying that Israel was doing anything other than the most "moral warfare" was rank antisemitism?

I just reviewed an obviously AI-generated manuscript. Dear editors, these are not difficult to identify. Please spare your reviewers. We are already overworked, and if you send us AI-bullshit, we are forced to spend time explaining why the paper should be rejected. You could simply desk reject it.

Dear all,

Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers.

Etenkin tuo jälkimmäinen kuulostaa todella kiinnostavalta! Ja hämmästyttävää, ettei ole tutkittu.

Kirjoitin taas kolumnin. Toimittaja Taina Vuokko keksi, että tässähän pitää luoda aihetunniste #mikseitätäoletutkittu .(Oikeasti vain edelleen haluan, että joku osaava yhteiskuntatieteilijä kiinnostuu noista aiheista.) www.tieteessatapahtuu.fi/numerot/3-20...
