"takes all the advancements you mention into account"
And I think that prophecies like this are fundamentally unsound and unscientific. There is no way you can extrapolate from basic experiments like Katcher's to the year 2080.

- inglor_cz 1y agoIt does not. There is a lot of useless papers produced because of the "publish or perish" pressure, and even harder sciences have a massive reproduction crisis. Feynman diagnosed this sort of cosplay as "cargo-cult science" decades ago.
- ImPostingOnHN 1y agoThere are a greater number of useless internet posts produced within the same period, and the `useless/total` ratio is higher for internet posts than for scientific papers.
