Comment on Pause Random Superconductor Experiments: An Open Letter

Comments

Sooner or later people will demonize pointless comedy like Monty Python as hate speech. In protest people will parrot sketches and become annoying as **.

One day some big wig editor will get fooled into publishing a story about consuming enough spam for health or about swallows carrying coconuts across long distances.

The punch line will be totally forgotten and the expose will seem cruel and vindictive. Just another terrible illustration of how AI imagery and fancy sounding research is just pure lies and nonsense.

No matter how cool and sexy sounding stuff like fusion energy or self cooling beer could be, the story is so unbelievable that even if it is true I can do nothing but wonder. Perhaps tech jumped the shark over a decade ago when a few MIT misfits thought to teach those guys a lesson with completely fake papers.

They were just saddened that they had to confess for the sake of the lesson which was never really learned.
