You’ll have the flexibility to work as much or as little as you choose - 20hrs/week is suggested, but not a limit.

@aud "certain" skull measurements because everyone knows some of them aren't worth shit. we stay up to date with leading skull scientists to get you the best of the best top tier eugenics
-
@[email protected] I still can't fucking believe (yes I can) that they just... actually try this shit

hilariously, a search for "phrenology" in the yields nothing. Strange. -
@aud amazed that they actually got it retracted maybe there is some hope of resistance

This whole company can get fucked, actually

This is why I deleted my LinkedIn before grudgingly remaking it. The urge to contact these people to tell them to take a submarine down to the Titanic is really strong -
@[email protected] only because other researchers had to take the time to target it, basically: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.03895

@aud @hipsterelectron seems like a good use of time to take that horse shit down tho.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] Oh, I mean, definitely, I agree, like obviously they're trying to push it and it would have worked. But it's obviously bullshit they had to. I feel like if you accept "phrenology but with a computer" you should not get to be a journal anymore because what the fuck is even the point of you being a gatekeeper if you can't keep the goddamned debunked science out?

I've seen them. Researched a bit. Stayed away.

We _already_ have this problem
Much easier to generate bullshit than to refute it; it's 2nd law of thermodynamics all the way down

@aud @hipsterelectron @cthos Just suggesting anything vaguely adjacent to phrenology should be a lifetime ban from publishing in any journal or holding professorship at any university worldwide.
-
@aud @hipsterelectron @cthos Our institutions should have registers of "nazi adjacent pseudosciences" and the political will to state unequivocally that reviving anything resembling them is not an option and will result in complete excommunication from academia.
-
@dalias @aud @cthos our institutions could be able to misuse that so it shouldn't be self-regulation but rather an audit by an external authority at least. universities are able to retain a multitude of tax breaks which could easily be used to curb their behavior although i don't like the precedent of right wing governments making gender illegal there either
-
@hipsterelectron @aud @cthos My leaning would be more like professional ethics association/union imposing it.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] it took a hot minute, but I did figure out where the contact author / PI is working. It was a little difficult since the paper has been retracted and isn’t really linked anywhere, but they are indeed a professor at a university… much to my displeasure.

@aud My reading is that "outlier AI" is the name of the company.
In other words, it's just saying "we'll pay you what we want to pay you" and doesn't necessarily mean that the ML model will set your salary.
Although I'm sure they're thinking about it.

@aud Outlier AI is the company they mention as their client: https://outlier.ai/
The post still looks sketchy, but they're not choosing your hourly rate based on a machine learning model.
