Well, this is an utter disaster for science.
This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

I think the most illustrative example of why AI is so terrible are those fake animal videos. Sure, let's drain the fucking oceans to create videos of animals being funny, something you can easily experience by being near any given animal for 5 seconds

On the 2nd day of fossils, my true love gave to me...
An arthropod with 2 elements preserved.
A heavily pyritized arthropod, possibly Emeraldella brutoni, from the 500 million year old Weeks Fm. of Utah with a phosphatized gut tract. Green is phosphorus. Pink is iron.

The number one source of bombing plots in the US is the FBI. This criminal complaint reads worse than the Whitmer kidnapping plot that ended up being a complete invention by a paid FBI informant.

No one’s rich like Gaston
That’s the pitch for “Gaston”
No one’s complex and tragic yet kitsch like Gaston
He’s a circle that begs to be squared
It’s a tentpole, a four-quadrant hit
Yes his backstory’s moving and layered
And it’s starring a CGI de-aged Brad Pitt

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust.
He has proven these points virtually every day since.
