Uromycitisis Poisoning Results in Lower Urinary Tract Infection and Acute Renal Failure: Case Report
http://nebula.wsimg.com/8823be4979f0e121db9c66414b8efa6c?AccessKeyId=F5F6036BC483B5E097FE&disposition=0&alloworigin=1
Uromycitisis is a rare but serious condition that affects over 2,000 mostly adult men and women in the United States each year. Described simply, it is caused by prolonged failure to evacuate the contents of the bladder and can result in a serious infection of the lower urinary tract known as “uromycitisis poisoning,” which, if untreated, can cause acute renal failure and has an associated high mortality. Because people with uromycitisis often cannot hold in their urine and feel they must—and, at times, actually must—urinate in inappropriate places, sometimes running afoul of local public sanitation ordinances, they can feel great personal shame and place themselves in legal jeopardy, through no fault of their own. We report the case of a 37-year-old male who suffers from uromycitisis, was prevented from urinating in public, was admitted to the emergency room with uromycitisis poisoning, was misdiagnosed, and was referred to our institution for treatment.

SAD!
- The 'author' was approached by a predator journal. So he sent the abstract and 3 days later was accepted! Wait for it, punch line he had to pay them 800 bucks in order to get it published.

Publishers withdraw more than 120 gibberish papers

(Nature News has attempted to contact the conference organizers and named authors of the paper but received no reply*; however at least some of the names belong to real people. The IEEE has now removed the paper).

Re: The worst ML paper with physics application I have ever seen
Another Microsoft AI engineer “recalled instances when a software engineer on his team would come up with an algorithm to solve a particular problem that didn't involve generative AI. That solution would be pushed aside in favor of one that used a large language model, even if it were less efficient, more expensive and slower.”
Another engineer “described much of the work in generative AI today as an “extreme amount of vaporware and hype” Every two weeks, the engineer said, there's some sort of big pivot, but ultimately there's the sense that everyone is building the same thing.” He said he often has to put together demos of AI products for the company's board of directors on three-week timelines, even though the products are "a big pile of nonsense." There's a constant effort to appease investors and fight for money, he said. He gave one example of building a web app to show investors even though it wasn't related to the team's actual work. After the presentation, ‘We never touched it again.’
Another engineer said the company’s investors have inaccurate views on the capabilities of AI, often asking him to build certain things that are "impossible for me to deliver."
"I think the major harm that comes is there's no time to think critically," another engineer said.

And worser ML papers are just a manifestation of these "hidden variables".

Re: The worst ML paper with physics application I have ever seen
Not many weeks ago, I was reading people saying things like "LLMs have already replaced engineers." Once the bandwagon has started, many people refuse to get off; others just don't go back and check their assumptions.
