Thanks again to our incredible participants for all what they shared with us, which made writing this a very intense experience and at the same time facilitated it very much.

@giulio_mattioli @spectrpix I thought this was a thing in Italy too, because in Spain we do have voltios, watios, amperios, ohmios... My Italian colleagues find it funny 😅

This demonstrates neatly that the academic community *does not need AI to hallucinate*, if there are strong incentives to do so (e.g., via funding or hype)

[Giulio Mattioli @giulio_mattioli]

This has been in my experience a bigger problem than fake citations.

We published 2 papers testing widespread (hyped) assumptions with empirical data, found that they don't really hold up.

They both get cited to support the hyped assumption, which persists.

AI has made the longstanding reality that most universities are hedge funds with an academic side business more visible than ever

@Carlos_astu_ @Rita_Maestre Hola, para tener un buen sonido en todos los puntos, la solución no es subir el volumen de los altavoces frontales (esto dañaría el oído de la gente cerca del escenario), sino distribuir más altavoces y usar direccionables. Los profesionales contratados deberían saberlo. 😬

@Rderuido En los pueblos igual, por desgracia, o incluso en medio del campo si te alquilan las casas de al lado para fiestas. Entre vehículos con escapes modificados y altavoces más potentes de lo necesario, se está normalizando invadir el lugar de descanso de los demás sin pudor.

I did not see this coming - the hantavirus outbreak shining a light on just how widespread medical misogyny remains in this day and age.

Hysteria is still commonplace; it has merely changed name.

Potentially fatal consequences is also not a rarity in this abominable culture.

The concept of having Hantavirus onboard the Hantavirus cruise and getting told you have anxiety

Google developers significantly misstate carbon emissions of proposed UK datacentres.

Just 3 will generate emissions
equivalent to those of a city such as Bristol.

Datacentres consume excessive amount of water/electricity, generate few permanent jobs.

The normalisation of bad quality and faulty new builds in the UK is shocking. Regulations and standards get stricter, while the outcomes don't match them.

If you’re wondering why Lewisham got Labour out in such spectacular style.

@VickiWistow @QueerlyAutistic That's the thing, lots of people vote just wanting others to be worse, not them to be better. Same here in Spain.

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

if a green had said this we’d have six weeks of rolling coverage, three statements from the prime minister and a COBRA meeting

[Carmen R @diffusefield]

@CovidSolidarit1 @1goodtern Yep, and it's not technically a fall or a rise, as the elections were in other different places, no? I think one thing is to challenge the narrative in the media now, and other to try to find comfort that can lead to dangerous complacency. :/

@A3Noticias Por ampliar información: sí, la pareja y otros pasajeros estaban de "turismo de naturaleza", y unos de los sitios donde más aves hay son los vertederos, pero ir a ellos es una irresponsabilidad grande.

For those curious about why bird-watchers would go to a landfill site, Ushuaia's landfill is famous for being a place where you can watch Andean condors fighting with caracaras over human refuse.

Maybe a good time to remind ppl that public health is a group project

[Carmen R @diffusefield]

@lvaroAY1 @lavecinarubia Claro, el público general sí, me refiero a la mujer y a las autoridades sanitarias que estuvieran al tanto de lo que pasaba en el barco en abril. Entiendo que la mujer no estuviera para pensar mucho, o alguien le dijo que "no pasaba nada". Esperemos. :(

[Carmen R @diffusefield]

@lvaroAY1 @lavecinarubia La azafata (aún no se sabe si infectada) estaba en el avión donde se montó una mujer a la acabaron sacando del avión de lo mal que estaba. y cuyo marido ya había muerto por el virus. Ella murió al día siguiente. Algo sabría, no?

@WHO KLM have confirmed that the Dutch lady who flew from St Helena to Johannesburg on 25 April briefly boarded an onward flight to Amsterdam.

Due to her deteriorating medical condition, she was taken off the plane before departure & sadly died the next day.

[Carmen R @diffusefield]

@_CatintheHat It's very probable that otherwise people can sue the Spanish government, no? As there is no international emergency declared that can overrule national laws.

@Iberia Hola, tengo un billete conjunto de tren + vuelo y necesito añadir un equipaje extra, pero no me sale la opción para hacerlo en Personaliza tu vuelo, ni en la web ni en la app. Toda la información que leí y me dieron decía que se podía. Cómo lo puedo hacer? Gracias.

[Carmen R @diffusefield]

@DrMBotha The nerve! Could we diagnosed these people with some of those personality disorders they like to throw at us, related to weaponised victimhood and narcissistic personality?

So sorry for all the autistic people in the room. :(
