Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

1. David Ackerly (UC Berkeley)

While his most-cited work is on leaf size and SLA, he also wrote explicitly about plasticity in leaf traits, including shape, in the context of ecological strategies.

Example: Ackerly (1997), “Allocation, leaf display, and growth in fluctuating light environments: A comparative study of deciduous and evergreen species” (Oecologia). This emphasizes how plasticity in leaf traits mediates adaptation to light.

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Dino Buzzati’s 1960 _Il Grande Ritratto_ (recently translated as _The Singularity_) mentions in passing the ideas of Silvio Ceccato, Italian cyberneticist who built the first Italian AI system, Adamo II, in 1956. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_...

More on the NSF censorship of misinformation research, broader cuts (esp social science & education), & now overhead reductions. This is a full attack on science. In addition to #saveNSF, we need to actively inform the public about the value of taxpayer investments in STEM across all fed agencies 🧵

Editorial: Censoring the scientific enterprise, one grant at a time

Recent grant terminations are a symptom of a widespread attack on science.
