I’m pretty sure the article is at least mildly ironic. I don’t think he literally believes that “nobody cares if music is real any more.” Towards the end he talks about how AI music is not really art, and it lulls you into oblivion. The writer’s a legit scholar with an academic interest in video games, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Bogost

• Naked Lunch soundtrack
• Eraserhead soundtrack (especially side B)
• Nine Inch Nails, Ghosts

Those poor, poor academic publishers… they’re actually going to have to do some reviewing? And maybe even some EDITING? …nah, they’ll probably just run them through OpenAI…

kinda like an… opium? …of the masses?

Anime pillow gets the mattress.

To tie the bag shut, ofc.

I couldn’t find that quote anywhere, and it’s very unlikely that Cicero said it, or something like that.

To find the quote that you seek,
You must first wash you’re balls in the Baja Blast.

By the looks of it, the ground floor and the first floor are going to be the same place pretty soon.

“It was revealed to me in a dream.”

Even then, it will just slow research down and set us back. Scientists won’t stop sciencing, and it certainly won’t lead to discoveries they want.

Well… that can be more serious that you suggest. Tenure-track faculty need publication-worthy projects and grad students; what if the only funding available is military- and surveillance-oriented? Big universities are going to expect scientists to bring in the money or leave.
