- yeahwhatever10 1y agoA contradictory quote for publishers and editors in the AI era.
- ysofunny 1y agoculture has always been all about imitating and copying each other unapologetically the whole "marketplace of ideas" which has led us into "let us charge money for ideas" is as dumb as bricks
- fsckboy 1y ago"the marketplace of ideas" does not and never meant buying and selling ideas nor intellectual property. it means if ideas are freely exchanged, the best ideas will win and become ubiquitous and bad ideas will be discarded.
