1. I'm legit shocked by the design of @Meta's new notification informing us they want to use the content we post to train their AI models. It's intentionally designed to be highly awkward in order to minimise the number of users who will object to it. Let me break it down.
The writing is consistent with paper mills.
People write up the fake papers, borrowing terms from earlier ones without understanding them, and editors and reviewers don't think that they're reviewing something fraudulent, chalk up errors to spelling, etc.
So the lit goes.
Some of the 420 reviewed studies just featured additional misspelling—that's OK
But 235 of them differentiated the misspelled cell lines from the original one they were a misspelling of, and these 235 papers didn't provide any standard evidence that the misspelled lines are real
It's widely known that there's a lot of fraud in cancer research.
A new study looked at misspelled cell lines and found that some subsequent studies (mostly by Chinese authors) claimed to use and described experiments with those nonexistent cell lines.
Hundreds of fake studies!
I know we all went a little coo coo at the prospect of "delve" being a clear marker of ChatGPT & forgive me for adding to the crazy but how are we overlooking the word "Adept" ?? I'm going into hiding now.
So last year @Wayfair, an $8B company, launched their own AI interior design tool
This week someone at Wayfair asked me to cancel their subscription of https://t.co/1oqUgfD6CZ, which is my AI interior design tool launched 2 years ago
I was confused why would they sign up to it if they have their own? Well, because they signed up to it before they had their own and used it to build their version of it! 😂
They had 8 different accounts on Interior AI that ran for months 🤯
I learnt a bit about competitive spying today!
Told ya the big companies were checking what indie hackers did, that was my entire point when I said "indie hacking is dead", we're part of the big market now where billion dollar companies are INSIDE our apps!
one of X's shortcomings is how everyone becomes an overnight expert in every topic, especially in AI. this is likely due to the algorithm favoring controversy to boost engagement. however, this is a recipe for misinformation and poor discourse.
Family member broke their phone in Nepal so when we arrived back in Hong Kong in the morning we took the metro to the world's largest electronics market, Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen, in hope of getting it fixed. Because if it's electronics, Huaqiangbei will have it. 🧵of my trip.
The UAE 🇦🇪 deserves a lot of credit for being forward thinking on crypto. First dedicated crypto regulator in the world, a clear rule book published (!), business friendly plus strong customer protections. Really enjoying my visit so far.
