There *are* legitimate use cases for this kind of stuff! Simulation studies! Synthetic data for a preregistered analysis plan prior to an actual study! But this isn't being marketed as that. It's advertised as a cheaper, faster alternative to humans. Temu we-have-results-at-home survey results.

Are "healthy" and "low calorie" meals the same? ➡️ They are similar, but there are also nuanced differences regarding food groups and individual foods, as we #HPGVienna @univie.ac.at show in our latest publication, now published in Appetie. 📖 #openaccess paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

More of this please. Co-designing play spaces with children and young people near their homes led to “what researchers say is the highest increase in children’s physical activity ever recorded by an intervention of its kind”

Bradford project produces ‘outstanding’ rise in children’s physical activity
JU:MP programme included co-design of play spaces, exercise in faith settings and interventions in schools

In the context of epistemic iteration, I have been thinking about the metaphor of cartography: diverse maps, often "wrong", but useful to start exploring, leading to new maps embedded in the practice of use (and often still "wrong" post hoc). Is there any good reading on the hist and philo of maps?

The weight loss industry depends on taking credit for short-term weight loss then blaming clients for the almost certain long-term regain that is part of the same physiological response. This contributes to stereotypes about fat people, encourages harmful weight cycling, and is an absolute con job.
