how things become science
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I give you... "The Grant Money Printing machine!"
Need a grant? Create a disease and submit a paper. Then write a grant asking for money to solve your invented disease.
If you want research grants there is already a glitch for that. You just jam "AI" in your research and suddenly government cares about progress now.
Wait until you hear about paper mills... They were here long before LLMs. This can only get worse... Unless, "we" do something. Or journals themselves do it. Not sure what or how, but better audited ways. Even academia itself could start by valuing more the work of reviewers.
So like a University?
