A Utah rep made a 6/7 joke on the house floor. I had to text my kids and let them know 6/7 is over. The Olds are using it now.

I'll start dressing like they did in the 50's when airlines offer the cabin space they had in the 50's.

The cluelessness and tone deafness with which elite institutions approach their lower income students is stultifying, even when they make a good faith effort.

But this? This pay-to-play model of journal articles? This will bring down the PHD pipeline if it metastasizes.

This race to the bottom dollar is eating academia from the inside out, and it has to stop.

They can have endless committee meetings around basic needs, but the fact is the student council fees to HAVE that meeting went up by a thousand dollars, a thousand dollars FLI students don’t have.

Are you kidding?
Look up empire 1 & empire 2.

Both have their ground stations in Brooklyn, along a stretch of industrial waterfront that previous mayors wanted to develop & gentrify, but community advocates fought to keep industrial so we could use it for GND reindustrialization & build green jobs.

And worse, it's *much easier* to read papers from paper mills and predatory journals.

To be clear, I don't think most academics read that stuff.

But I've lost count of how many times relatives have sent me a random paper on PubMed about 6 mice published in some alternative medicine journal.

It's great some authors will share their work if you email them for a pdf.

But this isn't a good use of your time, or theirs.

I do think academics have more important things to do than a system where they reply one by one to every potential reader who wants to read beyond the abstract.

And we will make exceptions for empirical social science research about AI in society – e.g., a study on how AI use affects workers in an organization – on a case-by-case basis. If your paper on an AI topic is rejected and you would like to appeal, email us a short note of explanation. Sorry!

1. Pausing new submissions about AI topics for 90 days. That is, papers about AI models, testing AI models, proposing AI models, theories about the future of AI, etc. We will make exceptions for papers that are already accepted for publication (or published) in peer-reviewed scholarly journals
