I keep hearing that AI is going to transform research and publishing. Then in my journal editing role I come across the below - an instruction from AI to an academic author to add in missing scholarly references. Claude is telling the named author how to slip this past the journal editor 🤬

As a journal editor I have zero time for the idea that AI in writing is just normal now. It's been forced on us and it's combining with the worst aspects of academia. The result is an academic slopocalypse. Journal editors are now trying - but inevitably failing - to mop up the mess.

#new2me26 The Genesis - A Story By The Genesis This is amazing. An unreleased (very) English concept album from 1969. Really hoping that @dimorphodons.bsky.social can chip in with the full mad story. It's very much in the S.F. Sorrow neck of the woods and deserves so much love.

Also, her answers had to go through the rigorous Steven Cheung filter
Below are the answers that were emailed back to us by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who, he wrote, had had the answers sent to him by Harp. Natalie

Harp is said to be one of the people who helps with the president's social media, and the answers below--such as the capitalization and tone-may remind you of Trump's Truth Social posts. The answers were emailed to an editor here on August 18, in the middle of a whirlwind of "Who Is Natalie Harp?" press coverage after the 35-year-old assistant was one of the few aides who took a secret flight out of Turkey with Trump, and after she was mentioned in a speech by Democratic Senator Jon Osoff that went viral. Below, she talks about her faith and working "at the speed of TRUMP!"

Someone should tell President Trump that the best way to turn the Iran War around and stick it to the Democrats this fall is to have Pete Hegseth lead an infantry charge that they'll air on live TV.

Trump always pardons people... who pay... or are henchmen... so why not the 'divinely spared'?

Wasn't there some custom where someone who survived two attempts at execution was pardoned? Divine intervention and all that...

Yes. I want us to rejoin. The solution to nationalists is not to cede to nationalists, it’s to show who nationalists work for and why they are so eager to undermine the power of coming together.

European political elites need to understand that if they say European security isn't possible without the US, they are actually saying that European security isn't possible. For many reasons, they don't want to accept that, but they urgently need to.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone in Europe, given what the Trump administration has been saying and doing since Jan 2025. The current US is not an ally. Even if a different US administration eventually comes to power, the old security relationship won't come back.

BBC re-running their headlines from 3 years ago when Sunak released 10,000 prisoners early over 6 months....oh wait, no, that went off without a media fuss. Labour are releasing up to 5,000 early over a year - due to Tory failure to build prison capacity. They only built 36 net new places a year.

Look, here’s the long arc of Thatcherism: they handed you The Road To Serfdom; they told you to get on your knees and pray for cheaper consumer goods, and maybe a house, and when you opened your eyes the state was falling apart, nothing worked and maybe ten guys owned 60% of the planet Earth.

“Frog, do not worry,” cried Toad. “I am coming to help you!” Toad ran out of his house.
Toad runs out of his house, ready to save Frog. He's carrying a rope, a lantern, and a frying pan. Honestly, he looks a bit foolish.
