It almost makes me want to cry but at this point I'm afraid anything I do will be seen as replaceable by AI, and I don't want to be told by the likes of Altman that I'm not allowed because we have ChatGPT for that. So I guess I'll internalise 7/7

Or perhaps because of the ludicrous timelines which would not make sense anywhere even if they haven't just spend a year first gutting federal workforce and then sending remainder for furlough for months... 6/

Is it - and I find this one quite interesting - because of the call to also rely on proprietary datasets (I look forward to seeing how you get your hands on those)? 5/

Is it because of the demand to secure (which presumably means build) more planet destroying computational facilities to fuel this pipe dream? 4/

Is it because for the call to replace humans in the most key stages of the scientific process with a tool that is consistent with only one thing: failing? 3/

Is it because of demand to make America an AI-driven powerhouse using datasets that Trump's administrations have now spent 1.5 terms destroying? 2/

Per preprint. More like €1,200 per article. But they also don't include some things that AIPP does.

Can I ask how you define publishing badly (or well)?

It is absolutely not a bother, and often requested by reviewers and editors. If someone says they don't want to change their title to be more accurate because of convenience, well, that tells you everything you need to know, no?

The only way publishing does not cost what it costs is if people choose to publish less. And I am not seeing this happening (not to mention they should publish less for the *right* reasons).

Mayhaps. But they also benefit from economy of scale elsewhere. Also, even if you take Brembs' super conservative est of $400 per paper (closer to 500 in 2025 money), at 4 million papers a year, it's $2B. At that is your absolute lowest estimate, which is beyond unrealistic for oh so many reasons.

I thought this was pretty closed ended.

Whoop whoop a checklist!

They already do (check what is *retracted* in their name). Kinda feels like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. Like with everything in academia, they should care much, much earlier, but there is no incentive to, esp. you can always throw researcher under the bus.

Last pass (I know, I know). Tbh, I don't think it will help you, I think it's more a function of peer review systems I work with (which shall remain nameless because it would be telling).

Just wanted to say my password manager deals with the peer review systems I need to use quite well.

Also, we took away free text response to invitation to review because James kept asking for money.
