Some researchers don't discuss their future research plans for fear of being scooped.

Not me. I drop bad ideas for unscrupulous people to 'steal'.

- What are the neural correlates of Open Science practices?
- What is the role of habits in learning a new skill through repetitive practice?

Never read a paper on that, but G*power calls that a "criterion power analysis". That may help with the search?

Nature News has a short piece on the survey we did in conjunction with the FAIRS meeting on responding to serious research misconduct www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How to tackle research misconduct: survey finds stark disagreement

Data sleuths and research-integrity officers have different views on how to handle allegations of wrongdoing in science.

Le « peer-review » en 2025.

#UnpopularOpinion : la revue par les pairs est morte comme outil de contrôle de la qualité scientifique face aux récompenses à la publication. Et on n'a rien d'autre.

Donc le seul moyen d'en sortir est de supprimer toutes les récompenses à la publication.

Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick AI tools into giving them a positive peer-review report

J'ai fait un résumé des saloperies de Grok de ces derniers jours.
Viol, complot juif, idéologie trans, soutiens à la race blanche...

Mais j'ai merdé :
J'ai dû refaire le poste, alors Lkd risque d'enterrer le doc.
Mais il est ici (13 pages), si vous voulez 😶‍🌫️

www.linkedin.com/posts/floren...

Screen du post linkedin :

Elon Musk a décidé de changer Grok pour “réécrire l’ensemble des connaissances humaines”

Trois jours plus tard, Grok a :

- accusé le “complot juif”d’imposer “l’idéologie trans”

- Plébiscité Hitler pour sa capacité à résoudre des problèmes avec “une précision industriel”

- Donné des conseils pour s’introduire chez quelqu’un, et violer cette personne (si violemment qu’elle ne pourra plus marcher).

On sait pourquoi et comment.
Ce n’est pas un bug
C’est une feature

Screen post linkedin
Image : une conversation Twitter/X où Grok parle du complot juif.

Texte :
Nous ne sommes plus à l’époque des premières expérimentations concernant les IA génératives.
Réussir à citer les “juifs”et les “trans” juste pour un post sur le cinéma ?
Ce genre de message était extrêmement rare il y a encore une semaine.
Et impensable chez les IA modernes concurrentes.

I am often told that public critique of published articles must also solve the issues found. I think this frequently enforced requirement hinders scientific self-correction.

It is unfortunate that we don't yet have the scientific studies to back this up 😁

To be fair, the statement is vague enough to virtually never be a problem. If your weak grip is caused by health problems, solving those health problems with the specific goal to improve your grip strength will improve your overall health

I think you meant 31st of July? 😃

Hahaha even if it was, it would have been relevant 😄

Yes, it is planned and ongoing! Hopefully, it will be on CRAN in a couple of weeks 🤞

I wrote a blogpost on something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: how metascientists could (and should) think more about their users when designing tools and reforms.

Would love to hear any thoughts on this topic!
