It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.

Hello hive mind, based on my post yesterday about LLMs, what do we all know about the statement « AI consumes 1.5L of water for a simple yes or no »? Where does the water come from and where does it go?

www.nature.com/articles/d41... look at the subtitle: which researchers welcome the effort?? Let’s just kill collaboration shall we? Let’s just make sure every paper is a battle. This is not going on the right direction

nature.com

Google Scholar tool gives extra credit to first and last authors

Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.

There's been lots on this already. I think it would work in some circumstances but the submitting units that would be most disadvantaged would be the smaller, generally less well-funded. Panel members can spot hidden gems in a way AI wouldn't, I suspect. Might as well go back to JIFs!

I have been thinking that a AI model should be able to predict REF outcomes and I believe that whatever papers are chosen for a submission outcomes won’t change much… anyone prepared to run an experiment?
