Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

I came across this promo I made for my shop in 2023 incorporating then-new niche “AI video,” reveling in its comically offputting garbage outputs while it was already being hyped as “tHe fUtUrE oF hOlLyWoOd,” but actually this was the aesthetic peak of the tech, it should have stopped right here.

Oh hi, I wrote this in 2017.
“Instead of defanging governments and big corporations, the distributed ledger offers those domains enormous incentive to consolidate their power and influence.”

Cryptocurrency Might be a Path to Authoritarianism
Extreme libertarians built blockchain to decentralize government and corporate power. It could consolidate their control instead.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

This raises a very real question about how we talk about AI. To call this slop is to downplay the fact that it was published in an esteemed journal. We used to call such things fraud, but this suggests the publisher is innocent. AI has changed the terms of debate. We urgently need new norms.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Finally, a metric that favours the humanities!
Love it: this article argues tongue-in-cheek for a new metric that combines the weight of a researcher's published books divided by the number of years since their doctorate.
It is normalised: "A kilogram of philosophy weighs the same as a kilogram of physics."

Introducing the j-metric: a true measure of what matters in academia
Science has become obsessed with publishing numbers. With this new satirical proposal, have we reached peak metric?
