I don't like almonds and AI word-salads very much. Walnuts are yummy.

who cares about plagiarism? the biggest issue, as described by Terence Tao, is that AI companies don't understand the math they are publishing and do not devote any resources to answering questions about their methods after publishing results and getting a headline. they miss the whole point of mathematics. they do not contribute to the improvement of human understanding of math, perhaps because they are unable to.

oh boy. aside from splitting hairs in a way that only an AI or a CS nerd could comprehend, are you defending masks now? masks? this theory has been disproven. there is one crazy person on each flight these days days who wears a mask. are you that person?

as for the researchers trying to stay in the good graces of the political machine, we don't need them. we survived for millennia without them. they can adapt. this reminds me of the french physics establishment that for decades rejected quantum mechanics because it did not come from france. they'll be ok. don't worry about the stupidities of researchers.

Which of the 2 totally different beasts are the "Public-Private Partnerships" like Fauci NIH funded, to give one example?

It's definitely true that public research is underfunded. It would also need better leadership for more funding to matter.

Who cares about people that trust research because it has "public" or "private" label?

croc is great. been using it for unimportant transfers for years. If you want to donate money then start with syncthing which is decentralized and even more useful. could syncthing add croc-like command that was as simple and quick?
