it's a hyper capitalist racket, and the fact that ***academia*** (full of all those gigantic galaxy brains) collectively still hasn't managed to burn it to the fucking ground says a lot about how deep these exploitative structures run

this is a labour issue - collectively, you are NOT powerless

stop upholding systems that exploit you, chew you up and spit you out ... and that steal and lock away the knowledge you create from the rest of us out here

It looks super interesting, can't wait to read it in detail. I really like this work too: proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/...

I mean, Trump has got everyone kissing his arse *by being an enemy*.

How do we imagine that kissing his arse will stop him being an enemy, when being an enemy is working so damn well for him?

Are we stupid? Are we even stupider than Donald Trump? Maybe we are.
