Interesting in what sense? Isn't it just stating something plainly obvious?

Interesting in what sense? Isn't it just stating something plainly obvious?
- SiempreViernes 11mo agoDid you forget the entire DOGE episode where every government worker in the US had to send an weekly email to an LLM to justify their existence?
- Sharlin 11mo agoI'd hold CERN to a slightly higher standard than DOGE when it comes to what's considered plainly obvious.
- SiempreViernes 11mo agoSure, but the way you maintain this standard is by codifying rules that are distinct from the "lower" practices you find elsewhere. In other words, because of the huge DOGE clusterfuck demonstrated how horrible practices people will actually enact, you need to put this into the principles.
- piokoch 11mo agoOddly enough nowadays CERN is very much like a big corpo, yes they do science, but there is a huge overhead of corpo-like people who running CERN as an enterprise that should bring "income".
- elashri 11mo agoCan you elaborate on this, hopefully with details and sources including the revenue stream that CERN is getting as a cooperation?
- jacquesm 11mo agoIt is, but unfortunately the fact that to you - and me - it is obvious does not mean it is obvious to everybody.
- Sharlin 11mo agoQuite. One would hope, though, that it would be clear to prestigious scientific research organizations in particular, just like everything else related to source criticism and proper academic conduct.
- mk89 11mo agoI want to see how obvious this becomes when you start to add agents left and right that make decisions automagically...
- Sharlin 11mo agoRight. It should be obvious that at an organization like CERN you're not supposed to start adding autonomous agents left and right.
