"For more than a century, scientific journals have been the pipes through which knowledge of the natural world flows into our culture. Now they’re being clogged with AI slop."

Out of sight, out of mind
The pile of unread books we have on our bedside tables is often referred to as a graveyard of good intentions. The list of unread books on our Kindles is more of a black hole of fleeting intentions.
~ Ross Andersen, from Stagnant and dull, can digital books ever replace print?

Digital is great for consumption, but consumption is not the only reason for having a book.
Having the books physically take up space in my environment is a key feature of books! My anti-library—the collection of books I’ve not yet read—serves the important purpose of reminding what I don’t yet know. Also, when I have a spare moment the books’ proximity draws me to them; This enables me to affect my future self (albeit only slightly) by setting in sight things that would improve me through their reading.

Yes, a short time to celebrate 🍾.
However, it is 5 to 12 in this arena as well.
Today, I watched an interesting discussion b/w #PoliticsGirl #RossAndersen, a staff writer @TheAtlantic:
Never Give #Al the #NuclearCodes
This episode shows that the biggest threat to human survival is humanity's #nuclear arsenal in conjunction with leading politicians and 🪖 brass willing to hand over the nuclear codes.
