“ 3990.00” That is all I read. You gotta be kidding me.

The AI sickness is going to wind up burning a lot of institutions to the ground.

I don't think this fits into a humanities versus STEM us vs. them. This is more about MBAs vs academics. The AI, as an LLM, doesn't know math and will alter formulas and technical terms that shouldn't be altered. All to justify laying off the copy editor.

As usual, Elsevier is proving to be a detriment to the sharing of knowledge and information. Of course that means the prices are probably going to increase soon.

Lot of parasitic industries starting to kill their hosts these days.

"We don't need humans anymore to mess up your formatting. This is like Excel bugs but light-years ahead."

Again & again these so-called “computer science” people and their so-called “AI” show us that they’re really just a variation of indoctrinated cultists trying to spread a mythical product for their own self-enrichment. The product isn’t a tool but to make money selling it to credulous believers.

that's a super popular tendency in U.S. journalism right now, making an already ugly sector even uglier

And once these genies are out of the bottle...

Dass wir diese Verlage immer noch mit Steuergeldern indirekt subventionieren ist tatsächlich bedauerlich.
