If no one is going to learn from academic papers/data what’s the point in doing it? People care less and less about the impact more about how much money it’ll make them. If that’s all you want from it then be honest but don’t complain when someone makes more money from something than you.
- ladfgym 2y agoThe point of academic papers is that HUMANS learn from it. The point is not that machines generate a mashup that masquerades as a probability distribution and companies sell that mashup together with ads (the latest predictable development). I see no indication that the affected academics are concerned with the money that their papers make them. Most want to give them away for free to HUMANS.
- nostrebored 2y agoExcellent. More humans will have access to academic paper information in a form that's useful to them now :)
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIn this age of mass misinformation and astroturfing, I guess it would be more "useful" to them now. No one seems to care about the truth these days.
