Even before AI, I curiously traced back a reference to a paper I had published and found out that the prof citing it was using my paper for the exact contrary point to what I was arguing. what would be her laziness and stupidity (sorry not sorry) back then is now becoming the system itself. Omg
a fair number of folks posting their shock that citing without reading is a common practice & welp—yeah, it is
Does it happen more often in some fields than others? I think yes—there are disciplinary differences in the rhetorical purpose of citation that do shape the actual practice significantly

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I have recently come across so many kinds of epistemological turns that it makes me wonder if there is a text out there that looks as "the turn" to the turns.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Mamdani's transition team is exactly what I would like feminism to be about; determined (and skilled) women who are willing to put in their best for the good of the public and who are given the opportunity to do so also by not being discriminated against for being women.
