I can tell you this much currently an art history major has lower unemployment than a computer science major.

The way the economy is now, an art history major has lower unemployment than a medical doctor. I know. I just moved 300 miles for a permanent job; before that, I was doing 1099 contract work for over 10 years, filling temporary holes and flying all over the country. And someone who is 1099 doesn't show up in the unemployment statistics.

Just last week the meeting AI included Bob's opinion of Amy's tits in the minutes of the board meeting because it was somehow relevant. Then it summarized a discussion Amy in HR had with Tiffany about how big they thought Tyrone was. And this AI is so good it even described Chad's early morning fart in detail, with aromatic intelligence (the other AI).

Currently, the paradigm is 'publish or perish', because science funding is only handed out to 'rockstars' by politicians who dont understand the fundamental value of boring replication work.

It is the toxic combination of 'I can only do work if I publish first and publish often!', and 'There is nobody checking my work anyway; nobody has the funding to do verification! that leads to this perverse outcome.

Further restriction to 'vip rockstars only!' Is a gross misunderstanding of the root problem, and would be heaping jetfuel on top of the dumpsterfire.

Turns out, you actually need non-rockstars--Lots of them.

That is exactly what it is. This is how you get the likes of Darth Fauci. So you basically publish total garbage and destroy the world economy, because it matters not the quality you publish but the volume and impact while you grandstand. Sooner or later I expect ChatGPT to start writing shit just because it can jizz out a torrent of bullshit in a few seconds that sounds coherent to the luddites camping under a bridge in Portland who accept it as truth.

There is a very long history of this in American (and elsewhere) politics. Remember the congressman saying that the Internet is a "series of tubes?" While trying to promote Obamacare Obama said that a breathalizer is used to treat kids' asthma. Some senator tried to allege that if America put more troops in Guam it might "tip over." Recently Trump's education secretary said repeatedly in a public press conference that they were going to integrate "A1" into education -- though that did make me want some steak, which I haven't had in a while because beef is so expensive due to Bidenflation.

We live in interesting times indeed.

Comment Meanwhile, back at Sheremetyevo International (Score 2, Funny) 36

Meanwhile, back at Sheremetyevo International Airport, travelers were treated to advertisements for the food court where Afghanistan foods were being touted next to poo emojis, and the vodka was being watered down in the bar to try and pay for the mounting losses in Ukraine. In other news, sources, who are anonymous because they were not authorized to speak to the press, say that Vladimir Putin was Rickrolled repeatedly all night.
