This is a new one. Just resubmitted a manuscript & it got kicked back for having an "iThenticate score higher than the acceptable limit". i.e. accusing us of plagiarism. Want to know what it flagged? The fucking bioRxiv preprint. Do humans not review this bullshit before it's sent out? I hate AI

Against my (admittedly low) expectations, authors and graphical abstracts seem to be returning to tge ACS journal RSS feeds. Glad to see it!

This is just terrible news. Helen was a very sharp and knowledgeable reporter, and I’ll miss her work:

It certainly appears that she never passed the bar exam in any state or in DC. She should fit in with the NIH Director Bhattacharya who is listed as "a renowned doctor,..." on the NIH website despite not doing any clinical training after medical school and never (it appears) practicing medicine.

Some people, and I don't just mean Trump, have been moving through the world as though they would never face a potential consequence for any choice ever again, because they never planned on losing power. That means they think they can't afford to lose now. There are a lot of desperate moves ahead.

I’m sure they did, and well they should have! But from outside it was all just that big expanse of USSR - the movie dialogue treated it like a separate country, which was just not the case from 1940 to 1991.

Absolutely. Same personality type, God help us.

I hear AI can improve road safety so there is no reason these Bros should ever use a seat belt…

Hearing that is really one of those “stare out the window while drumming your fingers on the desk” moments, for sure. Amazingly stupid on multiple levels.

The mention of someone going to Estonia in “American Hustle”. Sadly, no one in 1978 referred to any of the SSRs as separate countries in that way. While I’m on it, the way the Jersey City characters marveled at the microwave “science oven” rang false, too. They were everywhere by ‘78!

Yep! Didn’t work the first time, circling back around.

This is completely insane, like so many other things associated with the all-in AI cultists. Just because it can bang out ugly-but-usable code for you does not mean it’s about to be able to rewire your cells, you fools.

RFK Jr. is complicit in a crime against humanity. Knowingly putting kids in the path of a life-long, life-altering virus is at once a crime and a grievous sin.
