FiniteBanjo , to Science in Flood of Fake Science Forces 19 Journal Closures

I remember a bunch of people critically reviewing a scifi movie where knowledge is currency, but looks like that's where we're going.

Catoblepas , to Science in Flood of Fake Science Forces 19 Journal Closures

I can’t read it all because paywall, but is 119 a typo? The only portion I can see mentions 19 journals.

Cyv_ ,

Yeah I see 19 journals as well. Must be a typo.

Fixed the hed. Archive link should be viewable.

Catoblepas ,

Oops, if the archive link was there before I missed it. Thanks!

Ilgaz , to Technology in Meta Staff Found Instagram Tool Enabled Child Exploitation. The Company Pressed Ahead Anyway.

IMHO the staff is corrupt. Why? I have seen crooks with verified and unverified accounts advertised scam schemes involving several multi billion companies in Turkey for weeks.

It included AI generated famous people advertising stocks, fake video ads, blatant logo piracy. These things can be detected with personal computer AI let alone Facebook's gigantic system.

Every single report binned, bounced. I know the multi billion/trillion system, whatever feedback sent to a brand will also reach continent and main HQs no matter what. For example, send feedback about a Starbucks Ankara, it will find its way to Seattle too. So, it seems there is a well established gang inside company who made millions or even tens of millions.

Just like CP, this is a very risky job. A multi billion energy company isn't a force to mess with, they have endless amounts of cash, lawyers and at the last resort "guys" who they can call.

Same happened with me but on YouTube! Reported an ad that was pretending to be fox news or something, led to a website pretending to be another news site that linked to a fake shell (the oil company) site to get your credit card information. Despite going very in depth about the scam "everything was fine".

I’m no fan of meta, but I’m so used to seeing “but the children” get thrown about as a power play that I’m actually less inclined to believe Meta did anything wrong. Or at least any worse than expected.

Viking_Hippie , to World News in U.S. Plans to Send Weapons to Israel Amid Biden Push for Cease-Fire Deal

Because the best way to show the aggressor that you're serious about demanding a ceasefire is to send BOMBS to them!

The official line is that the US is only sending weapons so that Israel can defend themselves, but how the fuck do you use a bomb defensively??

DdCno1 ,

Israel is many things, but calling them "the" aggressor in this conflict is extremely dishonest.

but how the fuck do you use a bomb defensively

Are you serious?

calling them “the” aggressor in this conflict is extremely dishonest.

Not if you live in the real world and possess a functioning moral compass.

JeeBaiChow , to Technology in Early Adopters of Microsoft’s AI Bot Wonder if It’s Worth the Money

Isn't this pretty much the state of current gen ai, the hype overtaking the reality and all that?

Lmaydev ,

I use it all the time at work as a programmer. Not that often for generating code but for learning new languages and frameworks quickly.

I noticed our juniors are able to get up to speed incredibly fast by leaning on it when picking up new things as well.

We also experimented with it for sentiment analysis of customer feedback and the results were very impressive.

It is genuinely a game changer when used correctly. The issue I see is people trying to push it everywhere.

ErinCrush , to World News in China’s Youth Are Quitting the Rat Race to ‘Let It Rot’

Ahh yes. Lemmy's favorite. Another "China bad" article. This is the same shit as "no one wants to work anymore". Non news, ignore this shit.

This is not a "China bad" article. You might want to read it, for a change.

ErinCrush ,

I don't need to read shit from wall street journal

Thirdborne , to World News in China’s Youth Are Quitting the Rat Race to ‘Let It Rot’

This message keeps being spread. Wonder how significant it is or if it's like a handful and propagandists are making it out to be a trend?

reddig33 , to Android in ‘You’re Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a ’Droid?’ Why Teens Hate Android Phones

No one gives a shit which phone you have.

Also, no one uses the term “droid”.

This article reads like “fellow kids” nonsense.

SCB ,

I got roasted by a room full of interns for having an android phone last week.

robert235 ,

Idk what people use. I had two coworkers from another country ask why I don't have an iPhone?

SCB ,

Yeah I could not care less. Seems beyond weird to me. Reminds me of the old video game console arguments in elementary school.
