@chiraag But their impact ratings would fall through the floor as soon as scientists stop publishing in those journals. Perhaps the solution is that governments should simply ban publishing publicly funded research in paywalled journals.

Normally I would have expected that the smart people who publish in these journals would have figured out a workable solution themselves. But since they have failed to do so decades after paywalls stopped making any sense, maybe governments need to step in?

@harry_wood @dan @randulo There definitely seems to be a spectrum. The most anti-AI is Mastodon, then:

Mastodon > Bluesky > Threads > X > LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is full of passionate AI hypesters.

Mastodon was founded by people skeptical of US tech companies and whether it is true or not, AI is considered by many to be predominantly promoted by US companies as a scheme to keep their stock values inflated.
