How the fuck is that slop photo credited to RMIT University. Is that what you can do now? Create slop and claim it as your own? Fuck RMIT University and fuck Phys org.

I didn't pay attention to the photos when I read the article, but your comment made me go back and look at them. You're referring to the two sad-looking dogs in the basket, right?

I'm curious what gave it away to you first. For me what did it was the eyes. The reflections are all different.

I'm also sad, why couldn't they just include pictures of the actual dogs?

Actually, yes. Since copyright doesn't apply to slop, they can in fact take credit. Ethically stupid, but legally allowed.
