āHowever, using these tools with a shallow understanding of their underlying technologies only inhibits a person's agency as a human being.ā Note the āonlyā ā you are HIGHLY unlikely to produce good text or code if you cannot yourself confirm its value. But also, agency matters a lot. #AIEthics
I highly recommend reading this fantastic piece @stephaniemlee.bsky.social on aspects of the retraction that are not well covered in the format of a Matters Arising or Retraction Notice.
NEW: A study last year was hailed as a win for science reform, published in a Nature journal and authored by some of the movement's heavy hitters. Now it's being retracted. Here's the story of what happened. www.chronicle.com/article/this...
A paper that shows how far the reproducibility movement has come may also show how far it has to go.
Thanks, will read and consider adding! It does make me think I should try to (succinctly) broaden the critique beyond just racism to include sexism and other forms of discrimination/biasā¦
Fair point: my answer is by talking with people who have used it

Nice to see Nature Publishing Group providing great value for the US$12,290 APC the authors paid
While we're discussing open science/ retraction/ preregistration/ Registered Reports (RRs): for me, the main benefits of RRs (not shared by most preregistrations) are the chance to correct errors before its too late and guaranteed publication regardless of results: osf.io/preprints/ps...
I feel like science Bluesky is about to have A Moment. Can people deal with the complexities and emotions involved in a high-profile retraction without devolving into the kind of messes we used to see on Twitter? I hope so, but we shall seeā¦
In other science reform implosion news, the contested article including OSF & Data Colada authors on how preregistration & other rigor-enhanching practices led to high observed replicability (the one that couldn't produce its own preregistration) was just retracted www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Four labs discovered and replicated 16 novel findings with practices such as preregistration, large sample sizes and replication fidelity. Their findings suggest that with best practices, high replica...
