“Some medical professionals have said Sci-Hub helps save human lives; some students have said they wouldn’t be able to complete their education without Sci-Hub’s help. Through Sci-Hub, Elbakyan has strived to shatter academic publishing\u2019s monopoly-like mechanisms in which publishers charge high prices even though authors of articles in academic journals receive no payment.” SciHub receives an EFF award https:\/\/www.eff.org\/press\/releases\/electronic-frontier-foundation-present-annual-eff-awards-alexandra-asanovna-elbakyan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is, I think a lesson in Scott’s life, one that’s kind of a moral de detail for our own AI ChatGPT world. He walked from automatic pianos to the first computers. He sought perfection, He sought industrial scale creativity, but the trade offs he made were the relationships around him, the failure to see the humanity of the people he was trying to control. https:\/\/www.thelastarchive.com\/season-4\/episode-one-piano-player<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But things have changed. Telling academics they can achieve career success by using today\u2019s algorithmic-driven platforms is like telling Millennials they could afford to buy a house by eating less avocado on toast. It\u2019s a cruel lie because social media is a shit way to share your work now. https:\/\/thesiswhisperer.com\/2023\/07\/10\/academicenshittification\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look at the food we need as humans, one-third \u2026 benefits from bee pollination, and of that one-third, 80 per cent of the pollination is done by honeybees. https:\/\/www.nationalobserver.com\/2023\/07\/27\/news\/canadian-beekeepers-record-losses<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
