Meanwhile, older Americans, aged 50-64, are actually consuming more alcohol than they used to. https://www.byteseu.com/2388208/ #Science

Allgemeines Statement / General Statement :
Die Wissenschaft hat der Gesellschaft und dem Menschen zu dienen. Deswegen muss sie die Tech-Oligarchie und den Faschismus als Gefahren für unsere Gesellschaften und die Demokratie thematisieren. Die Wissenschaft muss sie aber auch bekämpfen, weil beide - der Faschismus sowieso, aber auch die Technik und Forschung glorifizierende Tech-Oligarchie - die Vernunft und damit die Wissenschaft selbst angreifen.
Science must serve society and humanity. That is why it must analyse the tech oligarchy and fascism as threats to our societies and to democracy. But science also needs to fight against them, because both—fascism, of course, but also the tech oligarchy, which extols technology and research—attack reason and, thereby, science itself.

Submissions to scientific journals have massively increased since ChatGPT was launched in 2022, #AI-written papers are more difficult to read, and they are more likely to get rejected, at any step of the peer-reviewing process.
We're flooding the zone with shit.
And the #PeerReview system is operating way beyond its limits.
This will compromise the entire scientific literature, offsetting any gains AI may provide to #science by orders of magnitude.
