   #NASA is actively enshitifying science to appease their #technofascist overlords

   Another day, another muddying of #science by idiotic injection of #AI #hype into scientific work by #ESA scientists.

   There is not a single mention of AI in the paper; the scientists used semi-supervised learning (SSL) and active learning (by expert input) to train their neural network. But "science communicator" Andrea Gianopoulos decided to change that.

     By eliminating technical details about the ML methods actually used by the scientists, and replacing them with distorted and vague AI hype, they are trying to turn scientific work into selling points for #technofascism. But what they'll manage to do in the end, is have no one read their pitiful articles anymore.

     Details of methods from the paper:
