This reads like an April Fool's joke. The first author in this "Sh-index" doesn't even get full credit for the paper. It's bad enough negotiating author order without these weightings!

University caught out using AI to wrongly accuse students of cheating with AI An Australian university has accused thousands of its students of cheating with artificial intelligence. The problem? Many have done nothing wrong.

man Australian universities are really just collapsing like a dying star hey

Here is a current DIRECTOR within the Department effectively blowing the whistle to Deloitte that the system doesn't demonstrate "natural justice"

The Robodebt vibes here are off the charts and I'm begging media to cover this

Asking residents for permission would 'kill' the burglary industry

A classic example of what @anna-orridge.bsky.social refers to as a “lolsob” moment.

“A major Australian university used artificial intelligence technology to accuse about 6,000 students of academic misconduct last year…many of the students had done nothing wrong”

IKR. Its like they think adding clever wordplay to the corpspeak will somehow distract us but it only piles on the pain…

And create a punnish on-brand title to hide the punishment

I can report that universities would happily develop the recipe for Soylent Green if somebody pays them. For some extra cash, they will also optimise the production process for you.

I must see this sheep film!

De Brouwer made the exact same argument two years ago after the Robodebt Royal Commission report was delivered. This is how I treated it in Mean Streak: "Grow up."

You cannot make this stuff up! Consultant advising on the error-riddled use of automated decision making in welfare governance uses AI to write its error-riddled report to government.

At least 29 Americans have sought asylum in Australia since second Trump presidency began Applications from US citizens make up less than 1% of monthly applications but have risen steadily since Trump’s inauguration

"In August, Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board reported it had received 245 US refugee claims in the first six months of 2025, which was more than in any full year since 2019. Ireland has similarly recorded a sharp rise in asylum applications from US citizens ..."

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

People keep imagining that these systems can be made hallucination-free. But they aren’t really designed to distinguish fact from fiction. Essentially they’re just stimulus-response loops full of calcium ions.

Anja Kaspersen and Kobi Liens likened AI to micro-plastics a few years ago. Still holds.

Andrew Ng: "AI is the new electricity!"

Cory Doctorow: "AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations."

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."
