“Vote Green, watch Labour move.” The argument here - which I think is true - is that Labour is understanding more and more that the real threat they face is to their Left, and the Greens are putting actual pressure on Labour

The nightmare scenario for science funding and publishing is a flood of LLM-generated papers and proposals pushing publishers and funding agencies to use LLMs to triage the slop. A deeply dehumanizing outcome.

In case it wasn't clear, academia is crumbling under the enormous flood of AI-generated content. The latest victim is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) flagship EU postdoctoral fellowships. The number of submissions has more than doubled in the past 3 years.
