“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

It’s actually WILD that the Vice President made this statement while scientists from the EPA, FEMA, and now the NIH are on administrative leave for signing declarations of dissent against new Trump policies at their agency.

It's been more than 7 months since I alerted an APA editor to serious statistical impossibilities and discrepancies in papers published in their journal by the same set of authors. How can it take 7 months to "investigate" something that can be confirmed on the back of napkin in 5 minutes?

Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the widely used physiological measures in psychophysiological research. But with over 100 indices to choose from, how do we know which ones to use?
In our latest paper, we take a data-driven approach to help answer this.
