#ICE setzt jetzt in den USA Gesichtserkennung und Rundumüberwachung gegen Einwanderer, Demonstranten und Journalisten ein. Worauf das zuläuft, habe ich bei @riffreporter in diesem Szenario beschrieben, das Monat für Monat mehr vom Sciencefiction zur Zeitdiagnose mutiert: https://www.riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/googlonia-ein-szenario-buchauszug2 #datenkapitalismus #surveillance #Trump #Europa

The core of my frustration with #OpenScience practices:

We cannot have a true Open Science until we dispel the myth that papers contain usable descriptions of scientific processes.

This cannot happen until researchers are trained, using evidence-based pedagogy, to read scientific articles for USE, not citation, not argument support, but USE!!!

In my seminars, all learners leave convinced we need a documentation system grounded in usability, & that papers are NOT fit for purpose. >>

Das ist eine coole Idee. Müsste nur mehr Leute finden, die Brembs heissen. 😆

Wäre vermutlich einfacher, wenn ich Müller heissen würde 🤣
Nee, mueller.social ist echt schon vergeben 😂

Spass beiseite, bin schon auch ein Fan von solchen kooperativen Lösungen. Werde darüber nachdenken, wie das auch für mich eine Lösung werden könnte, danke für den Hinweis! 👍

Tipp: #Physik, #physics oder #DPGPhysik in die Posts mitaufnehmen, so dass sich alle an Physik Interessierten im #Fediverse wiederfinden.

@UlrikeHahn

So totally agree!

The fact that arxiv actually feels like they need to review preprints, in a very ironic way means we need a pre-preprint server? 🤣

And as if to add insult to injury, our publication system was already FUBAR before LLMs were a thing, but people kept pretending the problem will go away by itself if they just manage to keep ignoring it for long enough. That ostrich attitude is so going to blow up in everybody's faces now.

ostrich head in the sand is not a strategy

Hallo @gavinkarlmeier

weil für die Mittwochsepisode von @hakendran

Starting this year (not sure yet, when) authors from all countries with supporting funders get to publish there, too. Germany, for instance, is in. Haven't checked the UK. May be tricky with brexit...

@shimon

Well, he does tell them all what the consequences of their actions are.

One can either conclude these actions were intentional or they weren't. If one concludes they were intentional, it would mean a large majority of the media in the US are Trumpists.

Björn Brembs boosted:

Congresswoman who is an M.D. gained oversight access to Whipple dentention center, a Trump immigrant concentration camp in Minneapolis. She posted about it on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SxPn8n2Bfg In pictures is a rough transcript of her remarks. Please watch the video and read the transcript. We have to stop the Trump regime.

So, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the
Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis this weekend, and what I
saw was not what I would expect in the United States of America.
My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe,
unlawful conditions inside of Whipple. And as a doctor, I was
especially concerned about the reports of inadequate medical care.
So, during my visit yesterday, I got confirmation that the facility
has no specific medical policy and no real medical care on site.
There was not a nurse present yesterday at all. There are no beds,
no real blankets, minimal food, extremely cold temperatures.
People are in locked cells and leg shackles. The agents there
couldn't or wouldn't answer the most basic questions. Like how
many people were currently being held? How many people had to
be sent to the hospital over the last week? How many 911 calls
been made in the last week?

And when I asked if any calls to 911 had been made that day, they
confirmed that in fact 911 had been called at least earlier once that
morning. Everything I saw showed me this operation is chaotic,
disorganized, ineffective, and dangerous.
I was also able to speak with two of the women who were being
held there, and both of them shared harrowing experiences.
The first was a woman who had been brought in the night before.
She and the other women in her cell had to sleep on the hard
concrete floor because there are no beds. She told me they were
freezing cold, shivering the entire night. They begged agents for
blankets and never got any. She told me the agents were cruel and
that the women were treated like they weren't human beings.
The second was a woman who'd been brought in earlier that
morning. I asked to speak with her because she was in a cell alone,
shackled, and she looked deeply distressed. She told me that she
and her husband were both being held at Whipple and had been
taken away from their 7-year-old daughter. She'd been there for
hours, but had not been able to make a phone call yet, so she hadn't
been able to contact her daughter, who was left with a friend and is
now separated from both of her parents. She was sobbing. She
asked when and if she was going to be put on a flight to Texas, but
the agents couldn't even give her an answer.

These just happened to be the two people that I spoke with while I
was there and both exemplified how people are not being treated
humanely. Families are being ripped apart and people aren't being
treated with the dignity that every human being deserves. ICE is
not going after the worst of the worst.
This reckless operation is tearing communities apart and
traumatizing our neighbors. My visit only underscored how
urgently critical it is that members of Congress are able to conduct
their legal right and duty to perform oversight unannounced
without advanced notice as the law requires. And it is needed to
protect our constituents during this time of extreme crisis.
I am more resolved than ever to do what I can to end Operation
Metro Surge and get ICE out of Minnesota.

@shimon

Yes, I was also curious about the choice of words here. I'm not a native speaker, I can only guess, but maybe it's the word the author thought would be best to get journalists' attention?

This may be about US #journalism, but there are plenty of lessons in there also for European journalists:

"The Media Malpractice That Sent America Tumbling Into Trumpism"

https://newrepublic.com/article/205913/media-malpractice-trumpism-project-2025

From a European perspective, it is completely incomprehensible how this can continue to happen, decade after decade. From over here, it is so plain obvious and repetitive, like Groundhog Day:

"This is the usual dynamic. Republicans keep their policy intentions vague, journalists say they can’t predict what will happen, and then everyone acts surprised when the predictable thing happens."

https://newrepublic.com/article/205913/media-malpractice-trumpism-project-2025

With such well-documented, massive and wide-spread #media failure in the US, one wonders if "malpractice" isn't a euphemism?
