AI-empowered research is here, and it's going to break the peer review system. What can we actually do about it?

Imagine the incentive this provides to a less principled journalist
Die Another Day tried to warn us
The right answer of course being "sheer curiosity about who is marrying that guy"
New proposal

Can this be a solution?
Honestly we can’t be far away from “buy war bond token (WB$) to support our brave boys overseas”
Not breaking down national popularity by party in US statistics should be a crime against the use of ggplot
It's also fundamentally unsuited for this purpose. It's meant to work for a President who is actually incapacitated, not one who would immediately fire his whole cabinet and take it to the Supreme Court.

Proximate factor: Brexit is very unpopular with younger voters.
General factors: higher than average ethnic diversity, large degree-educated group, clustering of both in growing urban population, and poor economic outcomes of these groups since 2009 make left-populism on economics more attractive.
Note to self, re-play Spec Ops: The Line soon

It’s gonna be *physically painful* to watch Genevieve O'Reilly’s Mon Mothma in Ashoka after Andor S2.
What they will actually do is have them win but then the First Order will happen anyway unrelatedly, rendering both this and the OT entirely pointless as stories because the Empire just comes back again off screen every time.
The really funny thing is they technically have to explain in this film and Ashoka S2 how the Empire is back (for all intents and purposes) by TFA with an even bigger super weapon as a result of JJ making this same mistake. But they can’t because it would mean Ashoka and the gang have to lose hard.

Deeply Trump-like reaction too. Similar to how he describes random people and organizations as having "ratings" as if they were TV shows

Like it actually was this because the candidate on one side was just imposed at the last minute because it was the only option and Kang was worse. bsky.app/profile/cmon...
It’s like everyone forgot that this wasn’t a normal process at all and it’s the same debate as “Bernie would have won” when the situation is fundamentally different.
I have trouble understanding how the lack of primaries in 2024 is something both sides don’t see as central to this pointless debate. You can’t concretely say either “the Dems are just the same as the GOP” or “this wouldn’t be happening under the Democrats” because nobody got to see that debate.
Really interesting. My sense even then was, in addition to its immediate goals, PV represented a kind emotional catharsis especially if you sat out the initial campaign. But it also formed a more confident liberal identity in the U.K. you still see now across Green and Lib Dem voters especially.
