I never thought that the day would arrive that this would happen. Twitter has just suspended the journal Scientific Reports for impersonating the journal Nature.

I understand the skepticism around AI invading many aspects of our lives… but today I was about to send an email and the Mail app asked me if I forgot the attachment. In my head I was just like “…finally you start paying attention. About time…”

“In the past, scientific culture contributed to the exclusion of various groups from the scientific enterprise.” Good thing this is all sorted out now… fmita… journalofcontroversialideas.org/article/3/1/236
