  • I’ve always considered sciences like psychology to be more susceptible to the reproducibility crisis. It seems if someone decides to pursue a career in academia the criteria becomes publishing, and well publish or perish as is goes.

    I think some researchers areocing towards things like prerigistering hypothesis and open data+publishing source code for calculations and using that as references in there paper so it can be updated afterwards.

    They’re have definitely been a lot of papers where results were later determined to be wrong but is still referenced because well you can’t update a paper from the 1970s.

    This is hearsay from friends I’ve never done any serious research or published in journals. As a side note I do enjoy reading taking a scroll through https://retractionwatch.com/


  • No, having children upload facial images to verify there age??? In the age of AI and deep fakes, or I don’t know selling that data to other entries with far more nefarious purposes.

    This dude doesn’t care about kids, he sent a cease and desist to someone who actually was doing something and caught six predators on the platform.

    He also said Roblox could be a dating platform which is a red flag since they probably know there platform attracts child predators.

    If that wasn’t enough of reason he donated $2.5M to the White House Ballroom.





  • I think right now companies are competing until they’re only 1 or 2 that clearly own the majority of the market.

    Afterwards they will devolve back into the same thing search engines are now. A cesspool of sponsored ads and links to useless SEO blogs.

    They’ll just become gate keepers of information again and the only ones that will be heard are the ones who pay a fee or game the system.

    Maybe not though, I’m usually pretty cynical when it comes to what the incentives of businesses are.
