And that licensing thing is the stuff is nightmarish but is coming down the pike with any excuse available. Canada is right behind, then the UK and then the pressure will be on the US to get in line with the rest of the world and stop being so backwards and awful. Murdoch: The 200 year old man has ...

I do think twitter has degraded quite a bit tho. every day my non posting account acquires a couple of porn bot followers the main problem is that the feed having popular and new is now, almost, useless. popular hangs around for days, the same posts, the same people. new is mostly random bots and ch...

Wiley shuts down 19 journals due to AI manipulation of the publishing process. https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/16/wiley_journals_ai/ Makes me wonder how much the collabarative internet breaks down and we return to a world you only trust the people you can personally vet. We are in for a wild ride
