According to tracking data from the NSF and Scopus, China accounts for ~27% of global research publications, whereas US is about 14%.
And still we have academics here arguing about AI slop on non-material content on research.

Academics who still place value on prose over actual research and substance should not be in the review process.
For far too long, Western journals have held a hegemony over research, favoring native English writers even when their material is subpar.

the joy of reviewing academic paper submissions has largely been killed by AI writing :/
slogging through pages of claudeslop from an anonymous author is pretty brutal
What happens when the Western journal publication infrastructure; loosely kept together by formatting scrutiny, writing style and English prose; breaks?
Research productivity in the Eastern Hemisphere dominates in throughput, as we are witnessing today.

@jim_flynn9@syedimaad Have you tried Locked-browser w/ webcam option on Canvas for an in-person exam?
With the exception of Excel, students cannot access any other application on their laptop + it tracks eye movements via webcam.
The last major revision of #stock#trading happened in the mid-1980s. In that period, #WallStreet shifted from an offline, regional network of floor traders into a centralized electronic market.

⛔Asset sales or sale-leasebacks
⛔Deferred maintenance
⛔Risk pushed downstream

@alz_zyd_ Learning gradients are different based on knowledge levels. For beginners, structure, context, and illustrations are important—probably why textbooks and academic papers present ideas in a particular way. For experts who already know what question to ask, GPTs would suffice.
@bindureddy Did you just call the two most noble professions as scams, when all that tech people do is to find ways to scam people?
AI will increase the supply of medical services but if you think that’s a replacement for ethical medical practices that require a human hand, u r out of touch
@alz_zyd_ This is what happens in self-dealing clubs who hold all the gates! Entry conditions are hyped up to justify social networks and income levels of entrants.
