  • Good contents and ideas - which are actually implemented in Open Research Europe system. Minimal checks and balances, peer review as public comments after publication.

    However I don’t fully agree that peer review as we have today is worse than nothing. I published a bit and reviewed a bit more. I have marked for rejection probably a third of published papers for basic methodology errors that fully invalidate results. Those papers would just add to the noise that already exists via thousands of papers published…






  • In my previous job I ran my main laptop with Linux. Pain points:

    • MS Teams liked to crash on screen sharing
    • o365 email and calendar works best on Evolution, but still is not perfect
    • meeting rooms often had special usb dongle to connect to the screen. That never worked on Linux.

    Overall it was glorious.


  • Adding AI is like adding a lane to a crowded street. It will move more cars per hour, but the street will soon have the same traffic jams as before.

    Workers will be as busy and as overworked as before.

    Plus, even though people theoretically do more, it is not really more. For example Digital Signage - before generative AI you would put in some text, a clipart or a stock image and call it a day. Now one may be expected to polish the text with AI plus generate a more fitting image. Does it make a nicer Digital Signage? Sure. Will productivity actually go up? I doubt it.
