How about we give humans access
- m-hodges 2mo agoDo humans not have access? https://dl.acm.org/openaccess https://dl.acm.org/openaccess
- hmokiguess 2mo agoSo will LLMs have premium-tier access or basic-tier access?
- 0xCE0 2mo agoIt seems that the "open access" is more marketing than something reality based they actually want to do. https://dl.acm.org/openaccess https://dl.acm.org/openaccess ---> So how to access the content? Do I have to register or what? It the "open access" only for academic org's people or for everyone in the world? https://dl.acm.org/ https://dl.acm.org/ ---> Okay, nice simple search field without loggin in, but when you try to search something, you get thousands of results, even if you search specific author and the exact name of paper, you will get hundreds of results and the thing you want is buried somewhere on page 247. Filters of authors, years etc. are for Premium subscription. But just googling the thing finds the link to ACM... And want to get the actual PDF? Hope it says "free access"...
- riedel 2mo agoNobody uses their search anyways. Google scholar has become the way to search papers (which is somewhat worrisome). What people want from there is a download for all the stuff that does not list an author copy. Open access IMHO is just a reaction to the fact that mostly you would not need a subscription anyhow. Now the authors are paying upfront or universities are paying flat for all their researchers. The problem is now the incentives are not increasing the number of subscriptions but increasing the number of papers published.
- dominotw 2mo agoit is open like open in openai
- MASNeo 2mo agoMade my day. Thank you! I have to remember that. Best thing I have read in the entire day.

- Gracana 2mo ago> From January 1, 2026, all ACM publications will be published Open Access (OA), free to read, share, and reuse in the ACM Digital Library.
