About this episode
Late in 2024, an economics paper captured the attention of the world. AI, it claimed, had a tremendous impact on materials research, disproportionally benefitted the most productive, and--sadly--reduced job statisfaction. It now appears that the results are entirely fabricated! Ben Shindel joins Bryan and Adam to discuss.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Ben Shindel.
Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:
- Ben's blog: AI, Materials, and Fraud, Oh My!
- OxF: Theranos, Silicon Valley, and the March Madness of Tech Fraud
- Topic
- [@M:SS](link into recording) Leventhal's Conundrum
- PRs needed!
If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
