I refuse to believe that the most egregious case yet of academic AI-slop involves a guy whose last name is "No slop" spelled backwards. Simply cannot be true.
washingtonpost.com
Using AI, a professor wrote 200 papers this year. Researchers are alarmed.
An online platform removed 257 papers written or co-written by the University of Chicago’s Nicholas Polson after other academics raised questions.

Gonna have to check that out at some point. ShieldPro is still great tech but the OS has been brutalized by Google and Nvidia into an ad and surveillance monster and it slows it down considerably.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

There is no fever. There is a political project that's been running since the 1970s.

Give a person enough money and power and they always seem to revert into a toddler. "You do what I say, because that is good."

Probably not great like 200 wealthy families own like 80%+ the stock market. Guess we're gonna learn the value of diversification. Again. The hard way. Again.

Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

One of the comments on the announcement of LibreOffice 26.8 was a simple question: “So, no AI is now a feature?” LibreOffice does not reject artificial intelligence out of hand, but an office suite us...

FOR NOW is the big qualifier you're missing there. Medallion systems got captured decades ago and price and quality suffered. These new come latelys are just new, but they're monopolistic all the same. Give it time. We're already seeing it.

Good point. The oil shock hasn't even materialized yet, this has only been a refinery problem to this point. But emergency releases of crude from reserves have now stopped.

Sick of wrist based ads and notifications, I swapped out my Apple Watch for a simple Casio a couple weeks ago. About twice a day I catch myself utterly amazed that it doesn’t need charging. This stuff warped our perspective of reality. Slowly but surely.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

I'm in compliance so I'm kinda a hard ass about stuff like this. Journalists do deserve to be paid more and fairly. But accepting stuff like this is a big conflict of interest if they're going to continue to work on reporting of a publisher. Publishers aren't spending the money if it didn't.

In the magazine days being invited to go drinking on the publisher's expense used to be considered a bribe I don't understand how it's gotten this bad that we aren't considering, in many cases, expensive personalized gifts, also in many cases sent to people who don't answer to a publication, a bribe

I'm giving a lot of influencers, "journalists", and PR people some big side eye by what they're letting slip in their outrages at this non-thing. And that's coming from someone who loves little gadgety props.

Salty Sunday take. Journalists shouldn't be accepting marketing/promotional material like this unless they're covering the marketing campaign from a reporting perspective. Influencers should be making it clear to their audience they're doing compensated promotions / advertising.

On topic, what rights against being trespassed do citizens have on CH91 land? I only ask because I've noticed since Fidelity moved in there's been a noticeable uptick on security walking Commonwealth Pier. I hope it doesn't come to it, but probably only a matter of time until the harassment starts
