I am a bit worried the response to this here is not a unified everyone's an asshole in this screenshot.

Academic publishing is in a very sorry state for a long time by now. A lot of research that is published is not reproducible. A lot of actual research is also in fact never published like that because companies base their products on it and publish those results only as patents.

So just by trying to be smug and oppose the Muskie you show yourself to be an idiot. Well done.

It's worth saying that ml is in a very different position to most of academic publishing.

All of the serious journals are free to publish and fully open access and a significant amount of publication includes enough code that things are mostly replicable. GitHub has done wonders for our field. Also many tech companies use publications as an indication of prestige and go out of their way to publish stuff.

We're still drowning in too many papers and 95% of everything is shit, but that's every field really. Talking to musk on twitter is the not right place for a nuanced discussion about publication.

"Nuance" and "discussion" did not appear to be part of either participant's intent.

at least they're partially right instead of completely wrong like elon

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago

Partially right versus Elon is not something I would count as a win either.

[-] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

if correctness is a marathon being more correct than elon is being able to tie your shoes

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

You can use all the metaphors you want, bottom line is you are still arguing online with a man child.
