Problem is conflict of interest: the studies are mostly from the providers of the biggest models, or someone who received free tokens to do the research.

It would be nice to hear exactly how the conflict of interest has impacted the specific studies and how they are wrong rather than conspiracy theory level speculation and hand waving at the entire category

  • I think is more than reasonable to be suspicious of studies funded by party with conflict of interest. Think of how many studies about climate change were funded by big polluters, for example.

    In 2026, the default outlook should be suspicion for any big private organisations with profit motive.

    • I think it’s less than reasonable to operate mainly on vibes, rumors, and hearsay.

      You don’t need to think about climate change studies. Instead you can read the allegedly tainted studies we’re actually talking about and profess to all of us what is wrong with them. You can’t point to exactly where they’ve fudged them.
