I was only made aware of this (frankly awesome) case of LLM poisoning today: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01100-y. A researcher made up a disease and published two evidently fake preprints about it (including sentences such as “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”), which were almost immediately picked up by LLMs and documented in their output. Worse, actual – supposedly serious – medical papers also started citing the preprints, demonstrating that academics relying on LLMs to do their work is a genuine problem! Not that I had my doubts but, if anyone did, this seems like the perfect demonstration of the problem. Article immediately added to the syllabus of the class I am co-teaching with Iris Ferrazzo on LLMs for Romance Studies/Humanities!

@uastronomer Let's take a moment: 🤯 that is more than a third of the country! So, no hope in H for someone my age to get something, anything so I'm able to afford my municipal rates.
How the devil did we get here? I feel like all I've been doing the last 40 yrs is fight and slog against rather unfair odds.
You'd think our leaders would be making a LOT more noise about this, what with the coming local government elections...
About a third of South Africa’s labour force is without a job, and things are bound to get worse as the economic outlook sours with each passing day of the Middle East war triggered at the end of February by the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
