“Ultimately, AI systems will shape the future of scholarly communication.” So, resistance is futile? I agree, “the question is whether ACM and the computing community will actively help shape that future in a responsible and mission-aligned manner,” but bowing to the wishes of irresponsible, profit-oriented corporations does NOT “help shape that future in a responsible and mission-aligned manner.”

Ruth_Mottram - This is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated analysis, exploring convincingly why birth rates are crashing basically everywhere and while there are certain many factors, the smoking gun is actually a smartphone.
So what to do about it? I think I agree with the conclusions, housing and financial support is one element, equality between sexes in household tasks certainly another, but finally, perhaps our job as parents is to inculcate the habit of socialising with others into our kids, especially when they get to the teenage years.

I somewhat agree with @… on his recent AI statement.
LLMs for programming tasks are useful - for the time being.
Are they economically viable? Probably not.
Are they sustainable? Hell no.
Are they copyright infringement? Most likely.
But this is not what Torvalds is talking about. This guy just wants to make his Kernel better.…

@… My math is 2000 gallons, at a minimum, but since there are no fish or other animals in the reflecting pool I agree that 5000 would be better. (I have a pond in my DC yard.)
These clowns continue to be incompetent.

@… I very much agree: the process needs to be changed.
All authors share responsibility, so you must be able to trust your co-authors. This was already a problem before, but just waved aside, because there were rarely consequences. Now that consequences are much more likely and more severe, stricter measures must be taken to ensure that co-authors are indeed t…
