Quite a story. Research publishing has big new challenges to tackle.
Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

About that AI 🤖 development I shared earlier:

Good news. 🧑🏽‍🔬
Update: the ACM DL is being updated so that author-provided abstracts are the default view again, and AI summaries are more explicitly labeled with "AI-Summary". These changes should be visible worldwide by sometime tomorrow.

The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.

Truth can be expressed as fact and as symbol.

Each mode of expression has its strengths, and neither does well the work of the other.

The internet was never valuable because it was efficient. It mattered because it was a raucous, unpredictable global conversation where people could recognise one another. It now belongs more to machines
