Here (France) we still mostly grade by hand.

I had a student write me a chatgpt canned answer, prompt included.

Communism is a political philosophy which in and of itself does not advocate for oppression. There is indeed nothing wrong with it, at least if you advocate for freedom of thought.

The Stalinist version of authoritarianism has been conflated with communism by american (mostly) media during the cold war. It is however a very specific ideology.

Apologists for authoritarian regimes, whatever their political leaning, deserve no platform or tolerance. Plurality of thought however is needed and essential.

The fact that this is actually legal makes me glad to live in the EU. Damn, this shit is bleak.

This is a bad idea to end all bad ideas.

Let’s give them an excuse to close their means of communication to the people to “combat AI spam”.

That is indeed news to me! Wild stuff.

The issue with stuff that kills everything is that… Well it kills everything.

Holy shit is that article a heap of bigoted trash ramblings. I mean, I get that people disliked the series but this is full on Andrew Tate shit.

Nepotism still runs rampant in many academic fields, since the editors of those journals are also academics themselves, and not always the most ethical ones.

I worked in academia. Everybody already has access to the texts (thanks to arxiv) where I did. And yet still publishing was the only way to gain legitimacy. This is the problem.

I’ve known tenured researchers that believed HIV did not exist so yeah, agreed.

I’m afraid availability is not the issue here. Perceived legitimacy is.

In order to get a job (or simply to exist) in academia you must publish. There simply is no alternative. And so the greedy parasites will continue to be fed, whether or not the papers are available elsewhere.

Alas they have not moved there. They use them for preprint, and sure you can get the exact text of what will become the printed paper most of the time, but they are still being forced to feed the greed machine.
