Some background on why ideologues might want to "consolidate" peer review systems.

Politics are and have been rife with propaganda, lies, etc… and to say disinformation impacts elections is kind of “H20 is wet.” Conflating that with a causal question of some counter factual where Russia, click farms, etc didn’t spool up 2016 efforts is absurd.

And like yah, the field has problems and some scientists got a little too “orange man bad” in thinking about the problem but we don’t have to chuck out the baby with the bath water here.

Maybe, just maybe, the control over communications infrastructure is a war of position, dominated by the elite for the elite to ensure continued reign of the elite, who are the true warring factions in pursuit of power and control of society.
Professors don’t stand a chance.

That said, I'll show this video to my undergrad students. It is still worth it to think about this and for them to know.

I don't know, isn't this just about mainstream culture vs counterculture and the forces of marketing? I'm not sure I understand how AI is making this any different from what it was 20 years ago. Most people love the mainstream simply because it's more predictable and reassuring.

If makes you feel any better, I grew up in the Italian country side and I remember clearly adults telling me not to enter private country land, like ever, not even to pick up one apple, because farmers had rifles. I do not think it's only a US trend among farmers lol

I wish there was an English translation of La Ricreazione e' Finita by Dario Ferrari, one of the best books I have ever read about corruption in (Italian) academia www.sellerio.it/it/catalogo/...

Thus, we advocate for acknowledging and supporting data curation work and its practitioners. Recognizing their contributions is vital for the success of Open Science and for ensuring that curated scientific knowledge is accessible and preserved for future use.

But despite its importance, data curation remained invisible in these initiatives (with some notable exceptions!). Mission statements rarely mentioned it, and there was limited transparency about curatorial decisions and the individuals behind them.
