It is a great paper, and to my knowledge there has been no meaningful rejoinder. It seems to be a bit of a "genre killer" for the type of paper it evaluates.

I finally gave "Is open science neoliberal?" by @uyguntunc.bsky.social @mntunc.bsky.social and Eper a close read. It made sense of critiques that did not resonate w/ how I understand the reform movement.

Are there rejoinders defending the neoliberal attribution or challenging this description?

Empirically, yes, but before that there were several purely verbal defenses. This is another one. doi.org/10.1177/1745...

One of the classic instances of the latter is Stroebe & Strack (2014). They did not use the term "hidden moderator," as I believe that was applied later by people criticizing the argument. doi.org/10.1177/1745...

It seems that you are living in an antiquated world filled with needless suffering and catastrophic wrongness.

Interesting. My session was unfortunately at the same time. I was interested to hear the quality of the arguments, but this suggests I didn't miss much...

I searched my zotero library for 'personal communication', because these tend to be interesting and can illustrate how science really works. I was not disappointed, the most recent one in my library was this from @syeducation.bsky.social. More of this! doi.org/10.36850/mr11

You all are so wrong about all of this that Bluesky stopped notifying me of your responses.

Thanks! And yeah, my post definitely covers a lot of similar ground as your article. As I tried to describe, I do think it is difficult, perhaps even futile, to make objective claims about utility due to how we differentially assign value to various aspects of research.

Oh yeah, fully agree. There is certainly more at play than what I described!

You liked that I cited you so much that you said it twice! Anyway, glad you liked it (beyond the citation).

This is a very useful post, in my opinion! I enjoyed the process of reading it, and the product of that will be me referencing it frequently in conversations and having it inform my thinking.

Let me explain why I like it...

Lots of you DO it, none of you LIKE it, despite what you claim....I learned in my psychology classes that self report is not reliable.

Do you really "like it" or are you perhaps just a prisoner to your antiquated ways?

Great post elaborating on how (not) to use AI (and technology) in scientific research!

24.02.2026 15:53 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

A nice, level-headed post about the motivations and outcomes of using technology (including LLMs) in research that you care about.

Thanks, Moin -- A lot of my thinking about AI use is a jumbled, grumpy mess, so your process/product distinction is super clarifying. BTW I'm one of those references-by-hand sadists (it helps me better memorize specific publications for future offhand reference)

That you freely admit this is a true sign of our crumbling society. (regardless, I'm glad that you found the post useful!)
