About a month ago, a piece by Scott Latham entitled “Are you ready for the AI university?” was published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. It’s paywalled, but don’t worry, you don’t need to read it as I’ll summarise it here: imagine you work in a university (as faculty or staff) and that you can imagine a super-being who can do everything you dislike doing (no matter how small) and do it better and cheaper than you do. Imagine that being exists. Who will pay you to do what stuff?

South African scientists are rewarded for every paper published. At some universities, the rewards are rather attractive: R50,000 (or $2500) per paper, as long as it is on the list of subsidised journals maintained by the Department of Higher Education. So, in theory, a productive researcher could earn a nice annual bonus if they publish five or six papers. In fact, there are already a handful of authors producing more than 50 papers annually.

Another good one from Mike.
The US has seen recent cuts to research funding, immigration crackdown, and political interference in universities. 75% of US scientists now say they're considering leaving. This is Canada's opportunity. Canada has long been a great destination for research. We've won 5 Nobel https://t.co/tjncuSmgmq
Frightening. I got 8 right of this. https://t.co/xApLHxGm1J
I know it’s Easter and all but I’ve always wondered who was on the other side of the table at the last supper?
