Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

This is about the untraceability of AI slop and the tendency of people to blindly believe stuff that LLMs put out. These news outlets just publish LLM outputs as facts without checking sources. Anyone could poison these LLMs so this is more of a threat model demonstration.
