Hilarious stuff from hypocrite-in-chief Bill Ackman, currently bankrolling Francesca Gino, who has *check notes* sued three brave scholars for telling the truth.

It really is amazing how researchers and journal editors will avoid showing even the most basic courtesy or gratitude to sleuths who point out errors in their work. I get that it's embarrassing, but guess what: that sleuth has read your work more closely than anyone else ever will! For free!

I wrote a blog post on the science behind The Atlantic's "no alcohol for fathers-to-be" piece. quentinandre.net/posts/drunk-...

Do Drunk Mice Sire Weird-Looking Offspring? – Quentin André
A recent piece in The Atlantic argues fathers-to-be should abstain from alcohol when trying to conceive. The science that underpins this recommendation has some issues.

ALL the papers from Michael Golding's lab cited in this piece (the scientist claiming a causal impact of paternal alcohol consumption on fetal outcomes) suffer from pseudoreplication issues. Treatment administered on sires, analysis conducted on pups without random effects.

I wish journalists reported more carefully on science. I really do. A short thread. The study cited at in the intro of this article is a mice study. Researchers randomize male to have access to a low/med/high amount of ethanol... 1/N www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

HBS' latest filing in the Gino lawsuit contains a few new details: 1. A committee of 26 professors, admins, and fellows reviewed the allegations, and *unanimously concluded* that there was *clear and convincing evidence* of research misconduct.

excellent piece, and should be required reading for anyone skeptical of the technical capabilities and policy implications of AI. there are certainly exceptions, but by and large, the political left is currently treating what should be a five-alarm fire like a distasteful spectator sport.

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

Very important paper, both empirically (for our understanding of human behavior) and methodologicaly (for our future inquiries into human behavior).

After a popular psychological manipulation turns out to be non-replicable (e.g., "in a seemingly unrelated task" behavioral priming interventions), it is always fun to go back and find the papers who reported "p < 10e-8" effects. No, wait, it's not fun actually.

This hasn't received much attention, but it looks like scammers also hacked into Francesca Gino's MTurk account, and asked MTurkers to buy her book Rebel Talent to boost the first-week sales of the book. Poor lady cannot catch a break. (links in comments)

An LLM-produced essay is tangible proof that a student doesn’t care, and yet responding to it properly requires hour upon hour of careful work. It’s asymmetrical and overwhelming.

Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.

Wait until you learn about common ways of doing segmentation analysis in marketing. "Yeah, we ran a K-means algorithm, gave each cluster a cute name and a persona, and now we're making every decision based on whether Pumpkin-Spice Peggy or Truck-Nut Terry will like it".

If, as a reviewer, you see an unusual statistical test being reported in a manuscript, it never hurts to double-check whether the test does what the authors claim. Who knows, it might help a journal not publish inaccurate results.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.
Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

Do you remember Francesca Gino's claim on her website that HBS analyzed the "wrong data file" in their investigation, and that a "real file" proved her innocence? HBS is now claiming that the "real file" was fabricated by Gino... and thus that Gino's claim was defamatory.

Super interesting thread. A stark reminder that any metric of "variance explained" is basically uninterpretable without contextualizing (i) the magnitude and variability of the treatment and (ii) the "baseline" variability of the outcome.

I'll believe the Gen AI hype when a LLM can write a 10 page report without using the "This isn't just X: It's Y" structure 8673 times. This isn't just annoying, it's aggravating.

Of course academics should not sue others for pointing out their faulty (*cough*) work. But this is a bit like saying that mafiosi should not threaten witnesses. Doing that follows from being a mafioso, just as suing people who point out your fraud is part of the kind of person who commits fraud.

Francesca Gino doesn't do fraud. She just has a lot of fraud happening to her. (shamelessly stolen from a friend).
