How hidden contributions power modern research The people who work behind the scenes to keep research moving say that there should be more recognition for their roles.

Research of today is a team sport. Much of it depends on scientists in research-support roles who remain largely unseen, uncredited and frequently underpaid.

Research is an ecosystem; every niche needs to be recognised

This AI Tool Rips Off Open Source Software Without Violating Copyright Malus, which is a piece of satire but also fully functional, performs a "clean room" clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell software without crediting the original developers.

This site uses "AI clean rooms" to bypass copyright to "liberate" open source projects of the need to credit or support open source projects. It's satire, but it also works and is something that the open source community is already dealing with: www.404media.co/this-ai-tool...

As ever: if you have something you’d like to share about Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Cursor or any AI company, my signal is ezitron.76 and I’ll treat you with care!

Got exactly one citation and ignored by several major pubs covering the official Microsoft post here, looking forward to Thursday when they get to do it again when token-based billing is announced ❤️

Haha yeah I’m old school like that

sometimes I get MORE nervous for anything open book because those can tend so much harder! So I feel you!

Regarding my schooling, I expected it to be pretty brutal. What I did not expect was for nearly every single class I take to be a hot, hot mess. I can count on one hand the number of times I recall test questions having only obviously false answers (from back in college or grad school, this would be 2002-2006 and 2006-2009 for me). Or the times a question on the test was never in any material in the class—not in any lecture, not in the textbook, nowhere. This happens on a DAILY basis in some of the classes I'm taking...

Now, I will give credit where it's due… MOST (not all, but most) of my professors have corrected the most egregious stuff and given points back on tests, etc. But that only happens if a student brings it up to them, and many people (in my experience, most of my fellow students) are too afraid or uncomfortable to do so. I don't blame them, I fucking hate having to do it myself. But it's that or lose points after points after points because… either the test is from some fucking weird source from 40 years ago, or the teacher wrote it with chatGPT or, truly, I don't know what else, dude. I really don't...

Here's the thing: I know how hard it is to be a college teacher. Especially a part time lecturer—I am one. I've been teaching college courses, as a lecturer, since 2009. I teach every quarter. It can be challenging, and I know that it can be annoying and frustrating too! We are all fighting so many things (not least of which is AI, rotting the very neurons out of students' brains like little maggots falling to the ground in piles). It's bad out there, and it's hard...

And just to be clear, I did not go to some great institution of higher learning when I got my bachelor's degree. You might recall, I fully failed out of algebra 2 and physics my junior year of high school, so I went to a "fine" and "ok" four year college for my BA. So, I'm not comparing my current experiences to fucking Brown University or Oxford or something. I am also currently going to legit, accredited senior colleges for these classes. So take that for whatever that's worth too.

Got a few cool highlights for you! If you want!

I have POSTED A POST. This one is about what a fucking disaster it is to attend college in 2026, a thing I am doing on top of working too much, lol. Really, I feel bad for most college kids rn if they are encountering what a mess it is. www.tumblr.com/danielling/8...

Why Sam Altman reminds me of Anton Chigurh To understand what the people building AI are really saying, it helps to spend some time with a man who kills people with a cattle gun.

I am not saying the guys running OpenAI are serial killers. I'm just saying the worldview they present, and the way they talk about their own actions, reminds me a lot of one of the most iconic serial killers in the history of film.

Moonshell Island's protagonist Sam (a young purple haired girl) talking to Douglas (a large beaver guy) in a verdant lakeside area near his carpentry shack. Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud! Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch! [unselected dialogue option]: Where's the self-destruct button on this thing?
