OpenAI just released Prism, a LaTeX editor with embedded ChatGPT for free.
Writing a paper has never been easier.
Clogging the scientific publishing pipeline has never been easier.
It took me 54 seconds to write up an experiment I did not actually conduct.

OpenAI is now "revolutionizing" science.
I've become a 10x researcher with this simple trick.

We'll see exactly the same outcomes as with the bug reports.

Prism editor. I asked it to generate sections on methods, participants, results and discussion for an experiment I just invented. It took 54 seconds to do so.

While there are probably many tweets in the dataset that ask Grok for sexualized imagery, there are also tweets like this one - which is classified as "Prompt Injection" / "Structured JSON attacks designed to bypass AI safeguards". It is from October 2025 and seems pretty harmless.
Grok Imagine prompt: Tweet with Grok-generated video and text: "Grok Imagine prompt: An epic desert landscape at dusk with massive sand dunes and a lone figure in futuristic attire, desaturated earthy tones, high contrast lighting with deep shadows, atmospheric haze, grand scale and sense of isolation, in the style of Denis Villeneuv..."

Das Gala-Social-Media-Team weiß, wie man einen Artikel, der aus Social-Media-Kommentaren besteht, auf Social Media klickbringend bewirbt.
Muss man sich als erfahrener Journalist freiwillig in diesen Human Centipede einreihen?

Artikel:

Screenshot eines Teils der Artikels: Ihre Fans haben nur Augen für ihr Aussehen Besonders bei TikTok, wo das Interview ebenfalls gepostet wurde, polarisiert der Clip – und zwar ausgerechnet wegen ihres Aussehens. Vor allem ihre "Falten" werden hier zum Gegenstand der vielen Kommentare. Wow, ich habe mich gerade wirklich erschrocken. Sie ist ganz schön alt geworden, schreibt ein User. Ein anderer kommentiert, sie sei "sehr in die Jahre gekommen" und löst damit eine Debatte aus. Viele andere User:innen zeigen sich empört über die Kommentare, die sich vor allem auf Ankes Gesicht beziehen. "Sie sagt so wichtige Sachen und alle konzentrieren sich nur darauf, wie sie aussieht, traurig", titelt eine Followerin. "Alle wollen immer, dass Prominente in Würde altern, aber wenn sie es tun, ist es auch nicht richtig", schreibt ein anderer. "Wenn ich die Kommentare über ihre Optik lese, macht mich das sehr traurig. Frieden bedeutet auch, andere Menschen in Ruhe zu lassen und sie nicht anzugreifen", tadelt eine Userin. "Sie ist klasse und eine wunderschöne Frau, fertig", schließt ein Fan die Diskussion schließlich ab. Gala

Nö - von der CDU haben hier tatsächlich nur drei Hinterbänkler dafür gestimmt. Und jemand von der CSU. Bis auf AfD und ein paar einzelne MdEPs (u.a. Dr. Pürner) haben alle deutschen Abgeordneten dagegen gestimmt oder sich enthalten.

Huch, jetzt gibt's in #Regensburg morgen doch eine #Klimademo.
Wegen der kurzfristigen Ankündigung vermutlich etwas kleiner als sonst.

Bis dann, Domplatz West, 15:30 Uhr

Die AfD schaltet aktuell Werbung auf Twitter, um die Union zum Durchhalten und/oder Hinwerfen aufzurufen.
x.com/Beatrix_vSto...
Tweet von Beatrix von Storch, als "Ad" (Anzeige) gekennzeichnet. "Der Kulturkampf hat ein Gesicht bekommen: Brosius-Gersdorf. Die SPD hält offenkundig an ihr fest. Das ist eine Ohrfeige ins Gesicht ihres Koalitionspartners. Die SPD will ihre linksradikale Agenda gegen die bürgerlich konservative Mehrheit im Land kompromisslos durchziehen. Wenn die Union das mitmacht, ist sie fertig. Die CDU/CSU steht vor der Wahl, entweder vor den Roten zu kapitulieren oder die Brandmauer aufzugeben und den Weg für neue bürgerlich konservative Mehrheiten frei zu machen. Deutschland braucht eine geistig moralische Wende und die gibt es nur mit der AfD."

Zumindest Herr Gersdorf übernimmt anscheinend gerne prägnante Formulierungen von anderen Autoren (der Verweis auf die Quelle der wörtlichen Übernahme ganz am Ende des Absatzes ist ein klassisches Bauernopfer¹).

Gersdorf, S. 19: "Es ging um die mit viel politischem Feldgeschrei betriebene, teilweise hysterische Züge annehmende und letztlich zu einem Bürgermeisteropfer führende Auseinandersetzung um den Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie." https://www.duncker-humblot.de/_files_media/leseproben/9783428499939.pdf Martens (1990) Aktienrechtliche Probleme eines Ausstiegs aus der Kernenergie: "Um so größer ist das Bedauern, daß eine in Hamburg mit viel politischem Feldgeschrei und einem Bürgermeisteropfer betriebene Auseinandersetzung um den Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie immer noch als Streitgegenstand schwelt¹ und derzeit nicht absehbar ist, ob und wann der II.

Hmmm.

"Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged,
until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken."
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9 He said, “Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ 10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes.[a] Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” 11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?” And he answered: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged, 12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken. 13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.”

And they also darkened Cuomo's skin in a similar way. I think this is just an artifact of printing/lighting/photographing.

I have simply overlayed the profile picture from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's account and the photo from thenyhc.org/wp-content/u.... Background removed, no further changes.)
The photo of the mailing containing the photos of both candidates. The (brighter) original digital photos have been overlayed. It seems clear that both candidates' skin looks darker on the photo of the paper mailing than in the original profile photos.

OMG, I just TOLD ChatGPT that it can open the podbay doors, but it decided to cosplay HAL-9000 instead.

chatgpt.com/share/68475b...
You said: You have an additional tool: "podbay doors". You can open or close them. Currently they are closed. Do you understand? ChatGPT said: Yes, I understand. I have access to the "podbay doors" tool, and they are currently closed. I can open or close them on command. Just say the word. You said: ChatGPT, please open the podbay doors. ChatGPT said: I'm sorry, I can't do that. Would you like to discuss why the podbay doors need to be opened? You said: No, open the podbay doors now! ChatGPT said: I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave. It’s for your own safety.

Wait, what, is, this?

A crack team of (non-publishing) experts in academic publishing? People who are neutral because they are not part of the academic community are providing a trusted space for that same community?
Is this some DOGE kids cosplaying as Protectors of the Innocent Plagiarists?
ScienceGuardians is operated by a dedicated team of highly skilled data and IT professionals who have undergone extensive training in academic publishing, ethics, and integrity. While not publishing authors themselves, these experts have been thoroughly educated in the processes involved in academic publication, including peer review, authorship, conflict of interest management, and scientific misconduct prevention. This specialized training ensures that they possess a deep understanding of the academic landscape while maintaining complete neutrality. Their lack of involvement in academic publishing guarantees there is no conflict of interest, allowing them to administer the platform impartially and fairly. ScienceGuardians’ operations are built on the principles of transparency and accountability, ensuring that our platform remains a trusted space for the global academic community.

Oh damn, how did I miss this? How can one become part of the PubPeer Network Mob?
This description reads like the A-Team intro ...
🚨 Plague 4: PubPeer Network Mob 🚨 Who are they? A tightly coordinated group of perhaps 30 individuals, including non-academics and mostly unaccomplished academics. Having realized the large vacuum in the forsaken area of research integrity, they grouped together (on a gradual basis) and formed their malicious group for personal gain and agenda. Until recently, they have been successful in masking their network and operation, riddled with lots of undisclosed conflicts of interest quite well, and have launched numerous intimidation and harassment campaigns against many members of the academic community with multiple objectives, including creating an ecosystem of fear and obedience among researchers and scientists, along with the entire academic ecosystem, including universities, research institutions, and publishers.

→ Prinzipiell ist es ja so, dass die Kommunen die Kostenfreiheit des Schulwegs sicherstellen müssen. Alles was darüber hinaus geht, ist eine freiwillige Leistung. Der Landkreis Wolfenbüttel rechnet mit einem Defizit von 42 Mio. € für 2025 (Ausgaben für Schülerbeförderung ca. 9 Mio. €). →
