Well, at least it is on theme, and some might argue that practical examples of productive implementations help them learn better.

Is Govindakumar Madhavan even a real person? Is Govindakumar Madhavan a scammer? Why would he use chatgpt to write a fake book?

This didn't get much traction on social media. Pretty sad.
Only found these 2 threads:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44507061
https://old.reddit.com/r/PublishOrPerish/comments/1lvgu61/fake_references_in_a_ml_handbook_released_by/
I assume they are suppressing the story.

Just an example, there was a php book putting very bad practices and deprecated functions from 2003 or something. The book was supposedly written in 2019 if I remember correctly. Now we can meme about PHP being lebad and all that crap, or even say that a php book is not a priority for springer, but a publisher should not publish such crap, ever

Junk science was already a problem and now AI is accelerating it further into the ground. Trump pulled US funding from science just in time. The way science is done as a whole needs to be retooled.

The solution is very simple. Stop admitting dumbasses.
Gold olympiad medal minimum.
There are too many people in academia. Leading to retarded competitiveness.
1 prof supervises many postdocs and phds, but when he retires or dies, only 1 position is open.

one of the most pressing matters of our time is isolating jeets from human society. i'm pretty sure the english language is already bricked. i feel only chinese has hope because they have the great firewall keeping and they controling their own websites. all chinese ceo are chinese there's no jeet ceo or customer service so they can't spread usual.
