You know, he is absolutely correct about what a wonderful thing that Elon buying X was regarding American freedom...
If he had not, media would be solely the viper nest of zionist/communist filth and treachery.
We need more X. We need LESS zionist/communist filth and treachery,
and we need more freedom from just that

We are fortunate to have a few independent journalist who are willing to call BS on both sides.

I’m surprised you are able to talk with so much prog dick in your mouth.

I’m sure as we speak there is a dedicated team of computer nerds working around the clock on the Ackerman Plagiarism Task Force. I hope he exposes the entire Ivy League and Higher Ed cabal.

I think Sam Harris did this. I heard him one time and I had just recently looked at some neuroscience literature to learn about a few topics that were relevant to a new project. I pulled some of the latest review papers. When I heard Harris on a podcast he was going over research findings and it was as if he was reading straight from some of these review papers, but acting as if he had distilled the literature himself. When I saw that, I knew immediately he was a fraud.

No body of written work in academia can survive the power of AI searching for missing quotation marks, failures to paraphrase appropriately, and/or the failure to properly credit the work of others.
Probably true. Anyone that's written a lot of stuff knows that sometimes you look at a note and don't remember if that's your note you scribbled down or if it's a phrase from someone else. Also, there are certain ways things typically get phrased and those are going to repeat and people that don't understand this will try to say it's plagiarism because an algorithm is going to catch that sequence of repeated words. Only so many ways to say, "Chumley and colleagues were the first to demonstrate retrograde nerve conduction" and so forth.

Not only that, but there just aren't that many original ideas. Most everything you see is recycled and reformatted.
An example would be the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet. Basically it's William Shakespeare's The Tempest set in space.

A different slant on the same general problem.
A PhD requires original research, new knowledge in a field.
At some point, absent massive societal/environmental leaps, everything's been covered. So to produce new/original knowledge in order to earn a PhD, people just start making shite up.
I think it's just as important/valuable to know what's NOT the case, so I'd like to see more research/dissertations in the vein of "Why XYZ is dumb as shite, makes no fricking sense, and is nothing more than a logical absurdity."
Instead of the sole focus on adding knowledge TO the field, there needs to be a massive effort to remove the bullshite that has found its way in.
Also, diploma mill/online PhDs need to go by the wayside. I recently read a dissertation that was successfully defended/approved (she was awarded her PhD), and it was about as sophisticated as an undergrad semester paper. The topic was so general and "well, no shite" that I have no earthly idea what contribution it was supposed to make. It was basically an undergrad-level 20-pager that would probably earn a C grade, and she was awarded a PhD based on it. It's a disgrace.

Hear, hear.
Matter of fact, I think you need to write a thesis about that!

Older academics were/are very doctrinnaire about proper citation and plagiarism.
My theory is that when plagiarism was so much harder to check for there would be more people skirting the gray.
I could be wrong, of course. It's just a theory.
But for sure you raise a good point. The higher in the intersectional hierarchy someone is, the more likely a finge field is going to be involved, and the less likely they will be checked for something like this (whether they are in a fringe field or not). So maybe it will be younger people.

Good for Business Insider. If this guy’s wife was a fraud in her Doctoral Dissertation it is good to expose that. In fact, his counterattack on them will also be good. Exposing academic frauds will be nothing but positive for America. But boy is it going to result in a lot of victims!

I can’t wait until they run the AI plagiarism program against Jill Biden’s thesis. I bet that thing will be a hot mess.
