most high profile labs have all had to deal with this nonsense.
It’s even worse for low profile labs because those publication fees eat up a greater proportion of our budget.

!synthwave@lemmy.world has been here a while and there was waveform.social before that, but it’s good to see a community with an active mod. I think I’m a switch to this one.
But what is missing is a more generalized infrastructure for detecting content ownership and providing compensation in a general purpose way. This is one of the great business opportunities of the next few years, awaiting the kind of breakthrough that pay-per-click search advertising brought to the World Wide Web.
There are people out there who looked at the World Wide Web and immediately thought: “how can I use this for advertising?” From that type of perspective, this is a well-thought-out summary of AI-related copyright issues.

Ellison was trolling. He did that a lot.

Answer:
2·22 days agoI had a BFF who was great at this. They’d just say: What are you up to, where you from, how do you know [mutual friend], etc. Then once the other person started talking, look for things you have in common: oh yeah I went to [location] I really liked [whatever], I know [person] from there too, hey I heard [a relevant news item], etc. You have to judge how much to talk vs listen.
CAUTION: if you’re interviewing someone for a job there are often rules/laws about what you can ask. And if you’re coworkers it’s best to start out focusing on the job: What project are you working on, are you familiar with [task], are you looking forward to [deadline/event], etc.
1·23 days agoI just say: “It’s like email. There are different email servers, but they can all talk to one another. If there are things you really like, you can subscribe to them, and if there are things you don’t like, you can block them.”
Or replace “email” with “instant messages”.

You say that like that’s a bad thing…
I get what the meme is saying, but community colleges don’t really need research scholars, they need great teachers with industry experience.
A viable option is to take the industry job, and then teach a class or two a year. Also, you can make connections at those community colleges and regional schools and advertise your internships and job postings.
3·24 days agoYeah, I just watched this yesterday and “pretty corny” is a good way of describing it. Like these guys kidnap an engineer who developed this world-changing tech, along with a priceless USB stick and then… just let him go. After he threatened to call the police on them. (I mean, he technically IS the police…) And the Die Antwoord hideout looks like Peewee’s Playhouse. And the robot makes stunning scientific breakthroughs overnight with some spare parts and internet searches.
But the graphics were good and the basic idea was neat. I kind of liked the fact that none of the characters were likeable, since I’m into “Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. The movie paid off in the “gangsta robot” scenes, I think the movie would have been better if they’d focused on that.
4·25 days agoOne of Frederic Remington’s masterpieces, this painting depicts cowboys hiding in a waterhole, their source of survival in the arid desert and of protection from the pursuing Plains Indians. The manipulated perspective gives the scene a panoramic quality and introduces a large shadow to convey the idea of “passing”—the ever-present threat of death looming in the Western territories during the Indian Wars, as well as the passing of the West itself.

I tried to get Bing to generate an image of “Teenage Maya Ninja Turtle” but it refused unless I “signed in.”
Is this by Sergio Aragones? It looks like his style. I did a reverse image search and couldn’t figure it out.
No-one could imagine such an evil business plan back in the 90s.
