We built Valency Bond partly because of this. arXiv just announced a one-year ban for authors who submit papers with hallucinated citations. Fabricated references means you didn’t read what you put your name on. Our post on why this matters: blog.valency.io/posts/hallucinations-academic-threat/

Finally got around to watching Forevergreen. I asked my wife why my daughter was crying and she said, "Watch this." Watch it when you have 13 minutes. If you cry you're a big baby! Not tough like me, who did not cry.
