Open AI probably already has it in its training data.

I dunno. I just read multiple papers from years to decades ago on the mechanical factors for popcorn because I kept burning kettle corn.
Who knows who will crack open the book someday and why. You either want to contribute or not. Don’t focus on the perceived impact. It feels like modern culture has made any effort to try new things not seem worth it unless you get recognition but that’s not why we did it originally.

I think you’re missing the point here. This is about research being locked behind a paywall that causes it to not be used.
Krauerking@lemy.lol 25 minutes ago
Yeah. But that doesn’t mean it will never be used. It’s normal to want to be paid for the work done but if people want to share they can just share it.
I think it’s hard to say when someone will want your information and it might be well after you are dead and able to get anything from it.There are lots of free recipes I would never use, and there are lots of paid cookbooks that I haven’t gotten my hands on yet but might one day because of their knowledge of making a good roux is worth saving (bake it, not in a pot)

Huh it’s funny how I think to do research for some things but not others. I really enjoy making popcorn on the stove but only half the time does it turn out light and crunchy. I keep at it thinking I’ll figure it out through trial and error but I should probably just look it up like you did.

Oh I am a scientist for everything I do. Make my hypothesis of and test stuff for how I think it would work but also so many people have done it already.
It’s essentially what all recipes are. Someone else did the research and I am taking their effort for an easier time. The best ones even note what changes to make for slight differences.
Also higher heat than you think, 400°F/200°C oil works best but you can also go dry and you will get a more puffed size apparently. To much moisture when cooking makes them dense.
I have discovered a wok is a really great popcorn maker if you don’t want to buy something niche. The high dome lid is double perfect for it and then shaking in the salt.

I agree… I feel this way often especially now when an ai can write, make music and movies, and no one can actually tell the difference, there isn’t much point to creating anymore. Unless it’s solely for you and you don’t want to show it to anyone else.

Luckily everyone on my field publishes their papers (preprint) on arxiv as well

I owe my thesis to scihub lol. I can’t stand publishing companies, especially elsevier.

Missing the frames where they shell out their own $$ to get it into that book that’s locked away.

“This is it” I guess That he’s finally done with his thesis.
logicbomb@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
The biggest joke here is that he thinks his thesis will be worth something to other people at the time he’s writing it.

That guy should be happy that no AI will ever be trained on their work. It’s ok to contribute to progress, but only if it’s progress the cool kids approve of. Know your place, nerds.

Y’know with the Wayback Machine, book scans and public science funding under threat in the USA this sadly isn’t too far off base

It will be used as a midly useful paperweight eventually, dont worry

I feel like a more common reaction is “Finally I am rid of this terrible burden that I took on in my naivete. It is riddled with errors that the cruel arrow of time prevents me from rectifying. May I be lucky enough to get a publication or two out of it and then finally be rid of it forever” but maybe I’m speaking too close to my own experience.
