  Academic publishers are parasites.

  I have been working through a textbook this week that has a copyleft statement on every page, and was written by a government scientist who did not get paid to do it. When you access it through the publisher website there is a copyright and they’re charging $200 for access.

  Replacing the human expert with a word-guessing machine is a logical progression in their unabashed rent seeking.
