Elsevier, everyone's favorite copyright maximalist closed-access publisher, argues that their high costs are necessary because they're the arbiter of quality.

The arbiter of quality keeps publishing LLM-written papers. Thanks for making my argument for me, Elsevier! They didn't even read it.

LOL, whut? Don't they have editors???

@YstradgynlaisYstalyferaHistory @cliffle
No. Editors are costs. Costs are bad for profits. They are a business, so their goal is to maximize profits.

As they have locked up enough of the scientific world under contract, there is no need to deliver “value” or “services” in truth.
