AI is a massive Ponzi scheme needing new recruits so rich ppl don't lose lots of money. Universities are clearly a target for recruitment. In my 30 yrs in academia I can't remember ever feeling so much pressure to comply with new tech, & my uni is miles from the hysteria shown in other institutions.

Journals like this should be the backbone of our local publishing landscape! But they're resource intensive so we need a national strategy to support, resource & grow them. They're fit for our purpose as local researchers & knowledge consumers. #academia #research writers should look here first!

"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

Here's the thing, we already were amongst the lowest levels of funding for research in the developed world. And these cuts & reprioritisations make this even worse. You can't determine immediate economic implications from a lot, if not most, research. So, these decisions misunderstand science.

"Every science publisher pays men more than women. In 2024, the lowest median pay gap favouring men was 9.5% (Springer-Nature), followed by Sage (13.3%), Wiley (17.7%), and Informa (formerly Taylor & Francis) (22.7%)."

Looking forward to soon replacing "should" with "will". "non-commercial open access routes, like the “diamond” model, should be promoted, and research assessments should shift away from focusing on journal rankings to encourage more responsible research dissemination." doi.org/10.1590/0001...

As we talk about Microsoft and Amazon pulling back on data center projects, don’t ignore what’s happening in China, where “projects are failing, energy is being wasted, and data centers have become ‘distressed assets’ whose investors are keen to unload them at below-market rates.”

technologyreview.com

China built hundreds of AI data centers to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.

The country poured billions into AI infrastructure, but the data center gold rush is unraveling as speculative investments collide with weak demand and DeepSeek shifts AI trends.

Craig Murdoch & I wrote this after interviewing editors from @tuwhera.bsky.social journals. The message is clear: investing even a small percentage of the budgets that go to the commercial publishers could sustain a shared OA infrastructure for Aotearoa. www.iastatedigitalpress.com/jlsc/article...
