Couldn't we just hire a fuckton of people whose sole job would be to read research papers and work to create "normie" readable abstracts?

That's what a science writer is supposed to be.

We had that, various popular science journals, Nature articles, decent newspapers would be able to do that, but it's not profitable unless they are paid to shill for a corporation.

If you get wrong information from it, you're just using it wrong and an idiot luddite! You should just learn to use it better, instead of using your time to learn better information analysis skills! smuglord

a while back chapo (and I think Matt specifically) was making the point that art is being smoothed over. Rough surfaces, anything that might stick in your craw, anything that might engender some discomfort in the audience, was being being discouraged in new media and flat out removed from old media (They were complaining that the ponytail sex was cut from streaming Avatar (blue, not Aang))

and like what is a Large Language Model but a machine for smoothing out language. Turning peaks and troughs int o a nice, easily digestible curve. Except. Whats the fucking point of language, if not for dealing with the fiddly bits of the world? Might as well gesture at things and go "ook".

smooth is such a good word for that. it all slides right into your gullet so the content stream is never interrupted
