Realistically, I don't think many folks who have knee-jerk fear reactions to a thing, regardless of political or religious bend, fully explore why they have that reaction.

I sort of get where you're coming from, but in this case I would not trust a) the general public to provide results that are i) sensible ii) to be of a low enough volume that that the 'non-sensible' comments would be weeded out by folks who actually know what they are about, given that they have...

In an ideal world, the cost of publishing is refunded (or paid for right off the bat), and is separate from the general research grant. But I read and understand your concerns with that model. What is the impact of what you're calling data and code being made available?

I see where you're coming from. I was coming at it from the angle of 'if you're going to contradict someone, you'd better have your ducks in a row'. Despite not having expertise in this area, maybe there were other facts informing @Staffan 's opinion? Thanks for describing your real world...

Like I said, I agree with your sentiment. @Belen had some instructive insights on how the sausage is made. But yes, that is the way it should be, ideally. My opinion is that all scientific papers/studies should be publicly accessible... as long as they are properly peer reviewed. Stuff that's...

Err... wut? @Belen makes a statement. @Staffan responds. I have almost no knowledge in this area, so asked these two to explain their positions, because it seems like an interesting topic. Belen responds with a super cogent, highly detailed response. Staffan responds with what amounts to 'I...

Right. You are just restating your original position, in a single sentence, nothing new brought to the table. Not very persuasive as an argument to be honest! Did you read @Belen 's counter? Try to jibe that with your position and try again.

Got it. @Staffan , rebuttal?

This is interesting. I am a layman in this arena. Both you and @Staffan seem to be coming at this with backgrounds in this realm. For those in the studio audience, please break down the points you are trying to make. Talk to me like I'm five years old. The gist of this from my perspective so...

I had to look up pre-print servers. It's easy to imagine the danger of having unreviewed studies/research exposed to the public like this. One reason I was asking about the usage of AI in your field is because I wanted to compare it to the effect on mine (software engineering). Chat bots like...

Peer review! That's a dangerous task to offload I would think. Paper mill detection seems like one you would gladly hand over to AI though? Laborious and thankless. Or am I reading that wrong?

Nice! What do you think about your current CEO's statement re: AI with respect to your field? If you have several other companies reaching out, it can't be that accurate.

It was all this and more. Still have this thing cradled between my copy of Oriental Adventures and my Battlesystem boxed set.

Okay? Are you trying to hurt my feelings? Can't oblige you I'm afraid. Not sure where this itch in your bum is coming from. Maybe take a step back?

Mansplained? Hilarious. Good people get taken advantage of all the time. Sometimes a reminder that this doesn't have to be the case is helpful. Sometimes it's not. Either way, not something you need concern yourself over.

They want your expertise and to increase your workload, with the teaser of a 30% haircut to your pay? Renegotiate. You should not be agreeing to that. If you feel like it would take a while to find something else in your field, give it a shot anyway. After that, whatever the outcome of the...

I am generally closer to the 'side' your espousing in these discussions. In your case, you seem to have taken it a step further and are now arguing based on your 'feels' instead of looking at facts.

I wouldn't call it fearmongering. A business is all about maximising profits: increase revenue, reduce costs. Writing modules has a bit of paint-by-numbers to it. Will an AI-generated module be incredibly innovative? Maybe not. Will it be good enough to sell? Realistically, yes. You'd need (in...

Okay. Sounds like the point you were trying to make was that there is some heavy duty churn happening at WotC, and we should discuss what the fallout of that is? I'm down with that.

Bloodbath is a bit of a strong word. Layoffs are part of being a member of the work force. Look for a new job and move on. It's not a fun experience, at all, and I wish this person well. I've been through it, several times. Wishing him well and offering support are what he needs. If you know of...
