Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

We advocate for more engagement between social scientists & historians, we contend that social scientists can enhance their own study designs w/insights from historians, like an understanding of how scientific terms have been used to serve specific imperialist agendas.

In the UK, wishing "death on the IDF" will get you investigated by police, but IDF soldiers can return to the UK after killing kids in Gaza and get on with their lives as if nothing happened. The law protects the criminals.
