These policies have been been awful and absolutely bizzare. Full disclosure - by end of 2026 I’ll have spent approx. 8000$AUD this year to stay in Aus. this is after the Aus taxpayer spent at least a quarter mil to fund my PhD! You wouldn’t think there would be much incentive to drive me out..

Last year, I publicly complained multiple times (see e.g. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...) that the open access movement had been captured by publishers, and we are now worse off than before open access. Well people got mad at me for saying it. But I think things are still getting worse.

These dynamics echo in other areas (admin work, enterprise coding, social network content): LLMs make low/decreasing marginal utility output proportionally cheaper than high/increasing marginal utility output, hence the actor-optimal basket shifts badly. 1/ via @pwgtennant.bsky.social
