Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Well, the problem is two-fold here… is it really content-based or propagating well-known biases? And secondly, it is claimed that these are the best papers. Best in terms of what? I just don’t believe that a single measure can tell the best of anything. 120
Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I am curious about AI and have tested many forms including QED, I continue to be unsurprised so far by its normative outputs. All of this is normal development; it will get better over time. This unsolicited exploitation however must stop. 2255
Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Exploiting the preprint system that many of us value and cherish, which when used right bring communities together instead of separating them into the 1 vs 99%, is clearly done with an eye for future profit. 2358

Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I have been thinking since yesterday about why I find the 1% thing so, so disturbing.

Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu @bulutkarslioglu.bsky.social · 03/05/2026LOF and GOF experiments show that mTOR binding acutely depends on the activity of Polycomb complex 1. A complex interplay that leaves much to resolve, we hope our findings provide a fresh perspective on gene regulation in the context of dynamic, developing cells. 120
